Psalms 84

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 萬軍之耶和華啊， 你的居所何等可愛！

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇； 我的心腸，我的肉體向永生上帝呼籲。

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

萬軍之耶和華－我的王，我的上帝啊， 在你祭壇那裏，麻雀為自己找着房屋， 燕子為自己找着菢雛之窩。

4 Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)

如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)

5 Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].

靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

他們經過「流淚谷」，叫這谷變為泉源之地； 並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。

7 They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion appeareth before God.

他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

耶和華－萬軍之上帝啊，求你聽我的禱告！ 雅各的上帝啊，求你留心聽！ (細拉)

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

10 For 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.

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。

11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

因為耶和華－上帝是日頭，是盾牌， 要賜下恩惠和榮耀。 他未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee.

萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！
