Psalms 84

1 For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, Yahweh 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 I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call out to 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 Even the sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh 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 they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.

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 Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover 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; every one 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 Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (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 God, watch over our shield; show concern for 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 one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.

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 Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.

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 Yahweh 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。
