PSALMS 诗篇084

PSALM¹ 84
1How lovely is your dwelling² place, O Lord Almighty³!
2My soul yearns⁴, even faints, for the courts of the Lord ; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young- a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
4Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Selah
5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.
8Hear my prayer, O Lord God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. Selah
9Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.
10Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows⁵ favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold⁶ from those whose walk is blameless.
12O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
