Psalms

（可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。）萬軍之耶和華啊，你的居所何等可愛！

[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] How amiable {are} thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! {for the sons: or, of the sons}

我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇；我的心腸，我的肉體向永生神呼籲（或譯：歡呼）。

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

萬軍之耶和華─我的王，我的神啊，在你祭壇那裡，麻雀為自己找著房屋，燕子為自己找著菢雛之窩。

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.

如此住在你殿中的便為有福！他們仍要讚美你。（細拉）

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

靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的，這人便為有福！

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

他們經過流淚谷，叫這谷變為泉源之地；並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。

{Who} passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. {Baca...: or, mulberry trees make him a well, etc} {filleth: Heb. covereth}

他們行走，力上加力，各人到錫安朝見神。

They go from strength to strength, {every one of them} in Zion appeareth before God. {strength to...: or, company to company}

耶和華─萬軍之神啊，求你聽我的禱告！雅各的　神啊，求你留心聽！（細拉）

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

神啊，你是我們的盾牌；求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

在你的院宇住一日，勝似在別處住千日；寧可在我神殿中看門，不願住在惡人的帳棚裡。

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. {I had...: Heb. I would choose rather to sit at the threshold}

因為耶和華─神是日頭，是盾牌，要賜下恩惠和榮耀。他未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。

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.

萬軍之耶和華啊，倚靠你的人便為有福！

O LORD of hosts, blessed {is} the man that trusteth in thee.
