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！

Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah. How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord 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 longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in 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。

For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord 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 those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.

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 help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend

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。

from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.

7 他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen 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 Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.

9 上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.

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 one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

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 God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.

12 萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！

He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
