Psalms 84

1 For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core, concerning the wine presses. How amiable are your 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 longs, and faints for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh have exulted in 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 Yes, the sparrow has found himself a home, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] your 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 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will praise you evermore. (Pause)

如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)

5 Blessed is the man whose help is of you, O Lord; in his heart he has purposed to go up

靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

6 the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for [there] the law-giver will grant 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 shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

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: listen, O God of Jacob. (Pause)

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 defender, and look upon the face of your 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 one day in your courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

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 loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

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, blessed is the man that trusts in you.

萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！
