Psalms 84

1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!

可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长。用迦特乐器。 万军之耶和华啊， 你的居所何等可爱！

2 My soul, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.

我羡慕渴想耶和华的院宇； 我的心肠，我的肉体向永生 神呼吁。

3 Even the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!

万军之耶和华—我的王，我的 神啊， 在你祭坛那里，麻雀为自己找着房屋， 燕子为自己找着抱雏之窝。

4 How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)

如此住在你殿中的便为有福！ 他们仍要赞美你。 (细拉)

5 How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.

靠你有力量、心中想往锡安大道的， 这人便为有福！

6 Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.

他们经过“流泪谷”，叫这谷变为泉源之地； 并有秋雨之福盖满了全谷。

7 They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.

他们行走，力上加力， 各人到锡安朝见 神。

8 O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)

耶和华—万军之 神啊，求你听我的祷告！ 雅各的 神啊，求你留心听！ (细拉)

9 Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.

神啊，你是我们的盾牌； 求你垂顾观看你受膏者的面！

10 For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.

在你的院宇住一日， 胜似在别处住千日； 宁可在我 神殿中看门， 不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。

11 For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.

因为耶和华— 神是日头，是盾牌， 要赐下恩惠和荣耀。 他未尝留下一样好处不给那些行动正直的人。

12 O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!

万军之耶和华啊， 倚靠你的人便为有福！
