From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Door-keeper
This word is used in Ps 84:10 (R.V. marg., "stand at the
threshold of," etc.), but there it signifies properly "sitting
at the threshold in the house of God." The psalmist means that
he would rather stand at the door of God's house and merely look
in than dwell in houses where iniquity prevailed.
Persons were appointed to keep the street door leading into
the interior of the house (John 18:16, 17; Acts 12:13).
