诗篇 84

1For the leader; on the gittith. Of the Korahites. A psalm.

2How lovely is Your dwelling-place,O GOD of Hosts.

3I long, I yearn for the courts of the ETERNAL One;my body and soul shout for joy to the living God.

4Even the sparrow has found a home,and the swallow a nest for herselfin which to set her young,near Your altar, O GOD of Hosts,my monarch and my God.

5Happy are those who dwell in Your house;they forever praise You. Selah.

6Happy are those who find refuge in You,whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways.

7They pass through the Valley of Baca,regarding it as a place of springs,as if the early rain had covered it with blessing.

8They go from rampart to rampart, appearing before God in Zion.

9O ETERNAL God of hosts,hear my prayer;give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

10O God, behold our shield,look upon the face of Your anointed.

11Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else];I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s housethan dwell in the tents of the wicked.

12For the ETERNAL God is sun and shield; GOD bestows grace and glory,and does not withhold bounty from those who live without blame.

13O GOD of Hosts,happy is the one who trusts in You.
