Psalms 84

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah 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 desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto 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 a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah 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 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

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

那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

6 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

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 unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

8 O Jehovah, 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 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine 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 good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in 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 a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

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 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
