< 詩篇 84 >
1 詠【朝拜上主歌】 科辣黑子孫的詩歌,交於樂官。調寄「加特」。 萬軍的上主,您的居所是多麼可愛!
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
2 我的心靈對上主的宮庭渴慕及緬懷。我的心靈及肉身向生活的天主踴躍歡欣。
My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of Jehovah. My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
3 萬軍的上主,我的君王,我的天主,麻雀您的祭壇找到了住所,燕子也找到了安置 幼雛的窩巢。
Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.
4 上主,居住在您的殿宇,時常讚美您的,真是有福!
Blessed are those who dwell in thy house. They will still be praising thee. (Selah)
5 那以您作為自己的助佑,居心朝聖的人,真是有福!
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 他們把他們經過的乾谷變為水泉,並以初雨給乾谷披上祝福的衣衫。
Passing through the valley of weeping they make it a place of springs. Yea, the early rain covers it with blessings.
They go from strength to strength; each one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 萬軍的上主,求您允我的懇請,雅各伯的天主,求您側耳傾聽!
O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer. Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 天主,我們的護盾,求您目睹,請對您的受傅者予以回顧。
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 的確在您的聖殿逗留一日,遠勝過在別處逗千日。我寧願站在我天主殿宇的門限,我不願逗留在惡人帳幕的裏面,
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.
11 因為上主天主是護盾。上主常廣施恩愛和光榮;祂對行為正直純潔的人,從來不會拒絕賜祐賜福。
For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield. Jehovah will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in thee.
