1 How lovely are your dwellings,

Yahweh of Armies!

2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.

My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,

and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,

near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.

They are always praising you. Selah.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.

Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength.

Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.

Listen, God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, God our shield,

look at the face of your anointed.

10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield.

Yahweh will give grace and glory.

He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

12 Yahweh of Armies,

blessed is the man who trusts in you.

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。
