渴慕朝見 神的必蒙福

可拉子孫的詩,交給詩班長,用“迦特”的樂器。

84 萬軍之耶和華啊!

你的居所多麼可愛。

我的靈渴想切慕耶和華的院子,

我的心身向永活的 神歡呼。

萬軍之耶和華,我的王我的 神啊!

在你的祭壇那裡,

麻雀找到了住處,

燕子也為自己找到了安置幼雛的巢。

住在你殿中的,都是有福的,

他們還要不斷讚美你。(細拉)

靠你有力量,心中嚮往通到聖殿大道的,

這人是有福的。

他們經過乾旱的山谷,

使這谷變為泉源之地,

更有秋雨使這谷到處都是水池。

他們行走,力上加力,

直到各人在錫安朝見 神。

耶和華萬軍的 神啊!

求你聽我的禱告;

雅各的 神啊!

求你留心聽。(細拉)

 神啊!求你垂顧我們的盾牌,

求你看顧你的受膏者。

10 在你院子裡住一日,

勝過在別處住千日;

寧願站在我 神殿中的門檻上,

也不願住在惡人的帳棚裡。

11 因為耶和華 神是太陽,是盾牌,

耶和華賜下恩惠和光榮;

他沒有留下一樣好處,

不給那些行為正直的人。

12 萬軍之耶和華啊!

倚靠你的人是有福的。

The Blessedness of Dwelling in the House of God

To the Chief Musician. (A)On[a] an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

84 How (B)lovely [b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
(C)My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your (D)house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley (E)of [c]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [d]pools.
They go (F)from strength to strength;
[e]Each one (G)appears before God in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
(H)O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [f]anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is (I)a sun and (J)shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
(K)No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,
(L)Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Psalm 84[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

How lovely is your dwelling place,(A)
    Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns,(B) even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.(C)
Even the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,(D)
    Lord Almighty,(E) my King(F) and my God.(G)
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.[c]

Blessed are those whose strength(H) is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.(I)
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;(J)
    the autumn(K) rains also cover it with pools.[d]
They go from strength to strength,(L)
    till each appears(M) before God in Zion.(N)

Hear my prayer,(O) Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield,[e](P) O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.(Q)

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper(R) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun(S) and shield;(T)
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold(U)
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed(V) is the one who trusts in you.
