< 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!
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!
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。
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。
4 Happy are they that dwell in Thy house, they are ever praising Thee. (Selah)
如此住在你殿中的便為有福! 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)
5 Happy is the man whose strength is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways.
靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的, 這人便為有福!
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。
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.
他們行走,力上加力, 各人到錫安朝見上帝。
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
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)
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of Thine anointed.
上帝啊,你是我們的盾牌; 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面!
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.
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。
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。
12 O LORD of hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee.
萬軍之耶和華啊, 倚靠你的人便為有福!
