How Loverly Are Thy Dwellings / 你的居所何等可爱

曲：Samuel Liddle
词：《圣经》〈诗篇〉八十四篇1-3, 10节

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts!
My soul longeth, yea fainteth, for the courts of the Lord:
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young,
Even Thine alters, even Thine alters,
O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.

O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
For a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand.

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts!
My soul longeth, yea fainteth, for the courts of the Lord:
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house,
And the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young,
Even Thine alters, even Thine alters,
O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.

中文翻译：
万军之耶和华啊，你的居所何等可爱！
我羡慕渴想耶和华的院宇，
我的内心，我的肉体向永生上帝欢呼。
万军之耶和华－我的王，我的上帝啊，
在你祭坛那里，麻雀为自己找到了家，
燕子为自己找着菢雏之窝。

在你的院宇一日，胜似千日；
宁可在我上帝的殿中看门，
不愿住在恶人的帐棚里。
