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 Gittith, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” How lovely are thy dwelling-places, 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 desired, yea, it also longed for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh shout with joy unto 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。

Even as the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: —[have I found] thy 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！

Happy are they who dwell in thy house: they will be continually praising thee. (Selah)

5 那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

Happy is the man whose strong confidence is in thee, [all] whose heart reflecteth on the paths [of righteousness].

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 will change it into a spring: also 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 of them appeareth 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 Lord 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。

[Thou, ] our shield, behold, O God, and look upon the face of thy 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 better is a day in thy courts than a thousand [elsewhere]: I would rather choose to wait at the threshold of 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 a sun and shield is the Lord God; grace and glory will the Lord give; he will not withhold any good from those that walk with integrity.

12 萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。

O Lord of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in thee.
