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. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh 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 languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a 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 the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh 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！

How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)

5 那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.

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 balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.

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 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 Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou 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。

Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.

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, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.

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 Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

12 萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。

O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
