84 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

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

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.

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

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

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

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.

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.

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!

I Guds hus

84 Til korlederen: Brug et strengeinstrument.[a] En sang af en af Koras efterkommere.

Hvor herlig er din bolig,
    Almægtige Gud!
Min sjæl længes efter at være i dit tempel,
    alt i mig glæder sig over den levende Gud.
Spurvene bygger rede tæt ved dit alter,
    svalerne slår sig ned dér og får unger.
De ønsker at være i din nærhed, Herre,
    min almægtige konge og Gud.
Velsignede er de, der bor i dit hus,
    for de kan altid synge lovsange til dig!
Velsignede er de, der søger styrke hos dig,
    som af hjertet ønsker at komme til dit bjerg.
Skal de end vandre gennem tårernes dal,
    forfrisker du dem med dit kildevand,
        de mættes af regnens velsignelser.
Deres styrke forøges og vokser,
    de træder frem for Gud på Zions høj.
Hør mig, Herre, almægtige Gud,
    lyt til min bøn, du Israels Gud.
10 Se i nåde til din udvalgte konge,
    hjælp ham, som beskytter dit folk.
11 Én dag i din helligdom er bedre
    end tusinde dage andre steder.
Hellere være dørvogter i Guds hus
    end have overflod i de gudløses telte.
12 For Herren er vores sol og skjold,
    han giver nåde og herlighed.
De, der er ærlige og oprigtige,
    nægter han intet godt.
13 Almægtige Herre,
    velsignede er alle, der stoler på dig.

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。

84 万军之耶和华啊!

你的居所多么可爱。

我的灵渴想切慕耶和华的院子,

我的心身向永活的 神欢呼。

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。

住在你殿中的,都是有福的,

他们还要不断赞美你。(细拉)

靠你有力量,心中向往通到圣殿大道的,

这人是有福的。

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。

他们行走,力上加力,

直到各人在锡安朝见 神。

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)

 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。
