1To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
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。
2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
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。
3Yea, 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.
4如此住在你殿中的便为有福! 他们仍要赞美你。 (细拉)
4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5靠你有力量、心中想往锡安大道的, 这人便为有福!

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。
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.
