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.

渴慕耶和华殿宇

84 可拉后裔的诗,交于伶长。用迦特乐器。

万军之耶和华啊,你的居所何等可爱!
我羡慕渴想耶和华的院宇,我的心肠、我的肉体向永生神呼吁[a]
万军之耶和华,我的王我的神啊,在你祭坛那里,麻雀为自己找着房屋,燕子为自己找着抱雏之窝。
如此住在你殿中的,便为有福!他们仍要赞美你。(细拉)

得力于主者乃为有福

靠你有力量,心中想往锡安大道的,这人便为有福!

他们经过流泪谷,叫这谷变为泉源之地,并有秋雨之福盖满了全谷。
他们行走,力上加力,各人到锡安朝见神。
耶和华万军之神啊,求你听我的祷告!雅各的神啊,求你留心听!(细拉)

居主殿宇者承受恩荣

神啊,你是我们的盾牌,求你垂顾观看你受膏者的面。

10 在你的院宇住一日,胜似在别处住千日。宁可在我神殿中看门,不愿住在恶人的帐篷里。
11 因为耶和华神是日头,是盾牌,要赐下恩惠和荣耀,他未尝留下一样好处,不给那些行动正直的人。
12 万军之耶和华啊,倚靠你的人便为有福!

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!
