诗篇 84
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
渴慕住在圣殿
可拉后裔的诗，交给乐长，用迦特乐器。
84 万军之耶和华啊，
你的居所多么美好！
2 我深愿进入耶和华的院宇，
我的身心向永活的上帝欢呼。
3 万军之耶和华，
我的王我的上帝啊，
在你的祭坛边，麻雀找到了家，
燕子筑巢养育幼雏。
4 住在你殿里的人有福了！
他们不断地歌颂你。（细拉）
5 靠你得力量、向往到锡安朝见你的人有福了！
6 他们走过流泪谷，
这谷就变成泉源之地，
秋雨使谷中水塘遍布。
7 他们越走越有力，
都要到锡安朝见上帝。
8 万军之上帝耶和华啊，
求你听我的祷告；
雅各的上帝啊，求你垂听。（细拉）
9 上帝啊，求你照看我们的盾牌，
垂顾你所膏立的王。
10 在你的院宇住一日胜过在别处住千日！
我宁愿在我上帝的殿中看门，
也不愿住在恶人的帐篷里。
11 因为耶和华上帝是太阳，是盾牌；
祂赐下恩惠和尊荣，
不留下任何好处不赐给行为正直的人。
12 万军之耶和华啊，
信靠你的人有福了！
Psalm 84
Evangelical Heritage Version
Psalm 84
How Loved Is Your Dwelling Place
Heading
For the choir director. According to gittith.[a] By the Sons of Korah.[b]
A psalm.
How Loved Is Your Dwelling Place
1 How I love your dwelling place, O Lord of Armies.
2 My soul grows weak and even wastes away,
as I long for the courtyards of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow has found a nest for herself,
where she may place her young near your altars,
O Lord of Armies, my King and my God.
The Blessings of Being There
4 How blessed are those who live in your house. Interlude
They are always praising you.
5 How blessed is everyone whose strength is found in you.
The highways to Jerusalem[c] are in their hearts.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,[d]
it becomes full of springs.[e]
The autumn rain also covers it with pools.[f]
7 They go from strength to strength.
Each one will appear before God in Zion.
Prayer
8 O Lord, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Interlude
Give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Look upon our Shield, O God.
Look with favor on the face of your Anointed One.[g]
The Blessings of Being There
10 Yes, one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather wait at the doorway of the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord is a sun and shield.
God gives grace and glory.
The Lord does not withhold any good thing
from those who walk with integrity.
12 O Lord of Armies, how blessed is everyone who trusts in you.
