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！

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. 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 longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for 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 hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, 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 they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly 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, — they, in whose heart are the highways.

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 Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7 他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

They go from strength to strength: [each one] will appear 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！

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 stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than 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 Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。

Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
