1 [To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living *God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she layeth her young, thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be constantly praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, -they, in whose heart are the highways.
6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.
7 They go from strength to strength: {each one} will appear before God in Zion.
8 Jehovah, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that confideth in thee!
1 万军之耶和华啊! 你的居所多么可爱。
2 我的灵渴想切慕耶和华的院子, 我的心身向永活的 神欢呼。
3 万军之耶和华, 我的王我的 神啊! 在你的祭坛那里, 麻雀找到了住处, 燕子也为自己找到了安置幼雏的巢。
4 住在你殿中的, 都是有福的, 他们还要不断赞美你。(细拉)
5 靠你有力量, 心中向往通到圣殿大道的, 这人是有福的。
6 他们经过干旱的山谷, 使这谷变为泉源之地, 更有秋雨使这谷到处都是水池。
7 他们行走, 力上加力, 直到各人在锡安朝见 神。
8 耶和华万军的 神啊! 求你听我的祷告; 雅各的 神啊! 求你留心听。(细拉)
9 神啊! 求你垂顾我们的盾牌, 求你看顾你的受膏者。
10 在你院子里住一日, 胜过在别处住千日; 宁愿站在我 神殿中的门槛上, 也不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。
11 因为耶和华 神是太阳, 是盾牌, 耶和华赐下恩惠和光荣; 他没有留下一样好处, 不给那些行为正直的人。
12 万军之耶和华啊! 倚靠你的人是有福的。
