Psalms 84

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

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！

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

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。

3 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.

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。

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

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

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

那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

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

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。

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

他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

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

萬軍的上主，求您允我的懇請，雅各伯的天主，求您側耳傾聽！

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

天主，我們的護盾，求您目睹，請對您的受傅者予以回顧。

10 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.

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，

11 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.

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。

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

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
