Psalms 84

1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!

1 萬軍之耶和華啊， 你的居所何等可愛！

2 My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

2 我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇； 我的心腸，我的肉體向永生上帝呼籲 。

3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

3 萬軍之耶和華－我的王，我的上帝啊， 在你祭壇那裏，麻雀為自己找着房屋， 燕子為自己找着菢雛之窩。

4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. Selah

4 如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。（細拉）

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

5 靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

6 他們經過「流淚谷」，叫這谷變為泉源之地； 並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。

7 They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

7 他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

8 O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

8 耶和華－萬軍之上帝啊，求你聽我的禱告！ 雅各的上帝啊，求你留心聽！（細拉）

9 Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.

9 上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

10 For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

10 在你的院宇住一日， 勝似在別處住千日； 寧可在我上帝殿中看門， 不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。

11 For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

11 因為耶和華－上帝是日頭，是盾牌， 要賜下恩惠和榮耀。 他未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。

12 O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!

12 萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！
