Psalms

可拉後裔的詩，交與伶長。用迦特樂器。

1萬軍之耶和華啊， 你的居所何等可愛！

2我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇； 我的心腸，我的肉體向永生上帝呼籲。

3萬軍之耶和華－我的王，我的上帝啊， 在你祭壇那裏，麻雀為自己找着房屋， 燕子為自己找着菢雛之窩。

4如此住在你殿中的便為有福！ 他們仍要讚美你。（細拉）

5靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的， 這人便為有福！

6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。

7他們行走，力上加力， 各人到錫安朝見上帝。

8耶和華－萬軍之上帝啊，求你聽我的禱告！ 雅各的上帝啊，求你留心聽！（細拉）

9上帝啊，你是我們的盾牌； 求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面！

10在你的院宇住一日， 勝似在別處住千日； 寧可在我上帝殿中看門， 不願住在惡人的帳棚裏。

11因為耶和華－上帝是日頭，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。

12萬軍之耶和華啊， 倚靠你的人便為有福！

For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!

2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of Jehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out unto the living God.

3Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even thine altars, O Jehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: They will be still praising thee. [Selah

5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; In whose heart are the highways to Zion.

6Passing through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of springs; Yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.

7They go from strength to strength; Every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

8O Jehovah God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob. [Selah

9Behold, O God our shield, And look upon the face of thine anointed.

10For 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.

11For Jehovah God is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
