Psalms 84

1 For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD 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 yearneth, yea, even pineth for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy 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 a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young; Thine altars, O LORD 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 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (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 Thee; in whose heart are the highways.

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 Baca they make it a place of springs; yea, the early rain clotheth 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 LORD 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 stand at the threshold of 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 the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD giveth 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 LORD of hosts, happy 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。
