Psalms 84

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!*84.1 for the sons: or, of the sons

2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.*84.6 Baca…: or, mulberry trees make him a well, etc*84.6 filleth: Heb. covereth

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.*84.7 strength to…: or, company to company

8 O LORD 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 be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.*84.10 I had…: Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

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

渴慕朝见 神的必蒙福

可拉子孙的诗，交给诗班长，用"迦特"的乐器。 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。
