Psalms 84

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah 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 desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the 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 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.

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 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)

如此住在你殿中的便为有福！ 他们仍要赞美你。 (细拉)

5 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [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 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.

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 unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

他们行走，力上加力， 各人到锡安朝见 神。

8 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O 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, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,

神啊，你是我们的盾牌； 求你垂顾观看你受膏者的面！

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.

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 a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.

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

万军之耶和华啊， 倚靠你的人便为有福！
