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！

For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your tabernacles, O Lord 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, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in 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。

Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your altars, O Lord 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 they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)

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 help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

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。

the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant blessings.

7 他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

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 Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)

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 defender, and look upon the face of your 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 one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

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 the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

12 萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
