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！

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 languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a 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。

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 如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)

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

5 靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

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

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

7 他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

They go from strength to strength, Each one 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 Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou 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！

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

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 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, 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 萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！

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