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！
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
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。
I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful 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 sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and 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)
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！
Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
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。
While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
7 他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
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)
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
9 上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
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 me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
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。
Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
12 萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
