Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 16, on Psalm 83

In context
9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
— Psalms 84:11 —
12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
