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。

渴慕住在聖殿

可拉後裔的詩,交給樂長,用迦特樂器。

84 萬軍之耶和華啊,
你的居所多麼美好!
我深願進入耶和華的院宇,
我的身心向永活的上帝歡呼。
萬軍之耶和華,
我的王我的上帝啊,
在你的祭壇邊,麻雀找到了家,
燕子築巢養育幼雛。
住在你殿裡的人有福了!
他們不斷地歌頌你。(細拉)

靠你得力量、嚮往到錫安朝見你的人有福了!
他們走過流淚谷,
這谷就變成泉源之地,
秋雨使谷中水塘遍佈。
他們越走越有力,
都要到錫安朝見上帝。
萬軍之上帝耶和華啊,
求你聽我的禱告;
雅各的上帝啊,求你垂聽。(細拉)
上帝啊,求你照看我們的盾牌,
垂顧你所膏立的王。
10 在你的院宇住一日勝過在別處住千日!
我寧願在我上帝的殿中看門,
也不願住在惡人的帳篷裡。
11 因為耶和華上帝是太陽,是盾牌;
祂賜下恩惠和尊榮,
不留下任何好處不賜給行為正直的人。
12 萬軍之耶和華啊,
信靠你的人有福了!

For the choir director; on the gittith; a psalm by Korah’s descendants.

84 Your dwelling place is lovely, O Lord of Armies!
My soul longs and yearns
for the Lord’s courtyards.
My whole body shouts for joy to the living God.
Even sparrows find a home,
and swallows find a nest for themselves.
There they hatch their young
near your altars, O Lord of Armies, my king and my God.
Blessed are those who live in your house.
They are always praising you. Selah

Blessed are those who find strength in you.
Their hearts are on the road ⌞that leads to you⌟.
As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow,[a]
they make it a place of springs.
The early rains cover it with blessings.[b]
Their strength grows as they go along
until each one of them appears
in front of God in Zion.

O Lord God, commander of armies, hear my prayer.
Open your ears, O God of Jacob. Selah
Look at our shield, O God.
Look with favor on the face of your anointed one.
10 One day in your courtyards is better than a thousand ⌞anywhere else⌟.
I would rather stand in the entrance to my God’s house
than live inside wicked people’s homes.
11 The Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord grants favor and honor.
He does not hold back any blessing
from those who live innocently.

12 O Lord of Armies, blessed is the person who trusts 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.
