詩篇 144
1 上主，我的磐石，他應該常受頌讚！他教我的手能鬥，教我的指能戰。
A psalm of David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
2 他是我的力量，我的堡壘，他是我的干城，我的救主，我的盾牌及我的避難所，他使萬民都來屈服於我。
You are my covenant faithfulness and my fortress, my high tower and the one who rescues me, my shield and the one in whom I take refuge, the one who subdues nations under me.
3 上主，世人算什麼，您竟眷顧他，人子算什麼您竟懷念他？
Yahweh, what is man that you take notice of him or the son of man that you think about him?
4 世人不過像一口氣，他的歲月如影消逝。
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5 上主，求您將天低垂，親自降凡，您一觸摸群山，群山立即冒煙。
Cause the sky to sink and come down, Yahweh; touch the mountains and make them smoke.
6 求您發出閃電，將敵人驅散，求您把箭射出，使他們混亂。
Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies; shoot your arrows and drive them back in confusion.
7 求您自高處伸出您的手，救拔我，求您由洪水和外人手中，拯救我！
Reach out your hand from above; rescue me out of many waters, from the hand of foreigners.
8 他們的口舌只說虛言謊語，只是為發假誓而舉起右手。
Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.
9 天主，我要向您高唱新曲，我要彈十絃琴向您詠奏。
I will sing a new song to you, God; on a lute of ten strings I will sing praises to you,
10 是您賜給君王獲得了勝利，是您拯救了您的僕人達味。
who give salvation to kings, who rescued David your servant from an evil sword.
11 求您由凶險的刀劍救拔我，求您由外人的手掌拯救我！他們的口舌只說虛言謊語，只是為發假誓而舉起右手。
Rescue me and free me from the hand of foreigners. Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.
12 願我們的兒子們，從幼就像茂盛的果樹，願我們的女兒們，像宮殿中雕刻的砥柱！
May our sons be like plants who grow to full size in their youth and our daughters like carved corner pillars, shapely like those of a palace.
13 願我們倉廩裡的各種食糧常滿，願我們牧場上的羊群，蕃殖億萬！
May our storehouses be full with every kind of produce, and may our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 願我們的牲畜常滿載重量，城牆沒有缺口也沒有逃亡，我們的街市中也沒有悲傷。
Then our oxen will have many young. No one will break through our walls; there will be no exile and no outcry in our streets.
15 身逢這些福樂的百姓，真是有福，認上主為天主的人民，真是有福。
Blessed is the people with such blessings; happy is the people whose God is Yahweh.
