Psalms 84

1 To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!

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 The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for 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 The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, 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 Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah)

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

5 Happy is the man whose strength is in you; 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 Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.

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 comes 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 Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: 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 O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

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 your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.

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 The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

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 Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
