Psalms

可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长。用迦特乐器。

1万军之耶和华啊， 你的居所何等可爱！

2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。

3万军之耶和华—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。

4如此住在你殿中的便为有福！ 他们仍要赞美你。 （细拉）

5靠你有力量、心中想往锡安大道的， 这人便为有福！

6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。

7他们行走，力上加力， 各人到锡安朝见 神。

8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）

9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， 不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。

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！

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.
