诗篇 144

1 大卫的诗。 耶和华—我的磐石是应当称颂的！ 他教导我的手争战， 教导我的指头打仗。

Of David. Blest be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for fighting.

2 他是我慈爱的主，我的山寨， 我的高台，我的救主， 我的盾牌，是我所投靠的； 他使我的百姓服在我以下。

My rock and my fortress, my tower, my deliverer, my shield, behind whom I take refuge, who lays nations low at my feet.

3 耶和华啊，人算什么，你竟认识他！ 世人算什么，你竟顾念他！

Lord, what are mortals that you care for them, humans, that you think of them?

4 人好像一口气； 他的年日如同影儿快快过去。

They are like a breath, their days as a shadow that passes.

5 耶和华啊，求你使天下垂，亲自降临， 摸山，山就冒烟。

Lord, bow your heavens and come down: touch the hills, so that they smoke.

6 求你发出闪电，使他们四散， 射出你的箭，使他们扰乱。

Flash forth lightning and scatter them, your arrows send forth and confound them.

7 求你从上伸手救拔我， 救我出离大水， 救我脱离外邦人的手。

Stretch out your hand from on high; pluck me out of the mighty waters, out of the hands of foreigners,

8 他们的口说谎话； 他们的右手起假誓。

who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.

9 神啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌颂。

O God, a new song I would sing you, on a ten-stringed harp make you music.

10 你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救仆人大卫脱离害命之刀的。

For to kings you give the victory, and David your servant you save.

11 求你救拔我， 救我脱离外邦人的手。 他们的口说谎话； 他们的右手起假誓。

Snatch me from the cruel sword, rescue me from the hand of foreigners, who speak with the mouth of falsehood, and lift their right hand to swear lies.

12 我们的儿子从幼年好像树栽子长大； 我们的女儿如同殿角石， 是按建宫的样式凿成的。

May our sons in their youth be as plants well tended: our daughters like cornices carved as in palaces.

13 我们的仓盈满，能出各样的粮食； 我们的羊在田间孳生千万。

May our barns be bursting with produce of all kinds. In the fields may our sheep bear by thousands and ten thousands.

14 我们的牛驮着满驮， 没有人闯进来抢夺， 也没有人出去争战； 我们的街市上也没有哭号的声音。

May our cattle be fat, our walls unbreached, may no cry of distress ring in our streets.

15 遇见这光景的百姓便为有福！ 有耶和华为他们的 神，这百姓便为有福！

Happy the people who fares so well: and so fares the people whose God is the Lord.
