Psalms 84

1 [For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] How lovely are your dwellings, 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 longs, yes, yearns for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry 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 Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, 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 Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are ever praising you. (Selah)

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

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, he makes it into a spring. Yes, the autumn rain covers 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. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

8 LORD, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, 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 Look, God our shield, look at the face of your 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 your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of 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 will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

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 LORD of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
