Psalms 84

1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O 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 longeth, and even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth 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 hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thy altars, O 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] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (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 thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].

那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

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] in Zion appeareth before God.

他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O 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 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thy 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 thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my 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 shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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 O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee.

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
