1919, 《新舊約全書：官話和合譯本》 , Shanghai: American Bible Society, 詩篇 84:10:
在你的院宇住一日、勝似在別處住千日．寧可在我上帝殿中看門、不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。
在你的院宇住一日、胜似在别处住千日．宁可在我上帝殿中看门、不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。 - Zài nǐ de yuànyǔ zhù yī rì, shèngsì zài biéchù zhù qiān rì. Nìngkě zài wǒ Shàngdì diàn zhōng kānmén, bùyuàn zhù zài èrén de zhàngpéng lǐ.
- For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.
