詩篇 84

1 可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。 萬軍之耶和華啊， 你的居所何等可愛！

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2 我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇； 我的心腸，我的肉體向永生上帝呼籲。

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

3 萬軍之耶和華－我的王，我的上帝啊， 在你祭壇那裏，麻雀為自己找着房屋， 燕子為自己找着菢雛之窩。

Yea, the sparrow hath 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 如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. (Selah)

5 靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways [to Zion].

6 他們經過「流淚谷」，叫這谷變為泉源之地； 並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。

Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7 他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8 耶和華－萬軍之上帝啊，求你聽我的禱告！ 雅各的上帝啊，求你留心聽！ (細拉)

O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 在你的院宇住一日， 勝似在別處住千日； 寧可在我上帝殿中看門， 不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。

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 因為耶和華－上帝是日頭，是盾牌， 要賜下恩惠和榮耀。 他未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。

For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！

O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
