Psalms 84

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. How beloved Your dwelling places, YHWH 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 desired, indeed, it has also been consumed, For the courts of YHWH, My heart and my flesh cry aloud to 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 Even a sparrow has found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she has placed her brood—Your altars, O YHWH 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 O the blessedness of those inhabiting Your house, Yet they praise You. (Selah)

如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。 (細拉)

5 O the blessedness of a man whose strength is in You, Highways [are] in their heart.

靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

6 Those passing through a valley of weeping make it a spring, The early rain covers it with pools.

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, He appears to God in Zion.

他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

8 O YHWH, 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 Our shield, see, O God, And behold 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 a day in Your courts [is] good, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in 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 YHWH God [is] a sun and a shield, YHWH gives grace and glory. He does not withhold good To those walking in uprightness.

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 YHWH of Hosts! O the blessedness of a man trusting in You.

萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！
