詩篇 144
1 大衛的詩。 耶和華－我的磐石是應當稱頌的！ 他教導我的手爭戰， 教導我的指頭打仗。
A psalm of David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
2 他是我慈愛的主，我的山寨， 我的高臺，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。
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 耶和華啊，人算甚麼，你竟認識他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！
Yahweh, what is man that you take notice of him or the son of man that you think about him?
4 人好像一口氣； 他的年日如同影兒快快過去。
Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
5 耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨， 摸山，山就冒煙。
Cause the sky to sink and come down, Yahweh; touch the mountains and make them smoke.
6 求你發出閃電，使他們四散， 射出你的箭，使他們擾亂。
Send flashes of lightning and scatter my enemies; shoot your arrows and drive them back in confusion.
7 求你從上伸手救拔我， 救我出離大水， 救我脫離外邦人的手。
Reach out your hand from above; rescue me out of many waters, from the hand of foreigners.
8 他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。
Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.
9 上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌頌。
I will sing a new song to you, God; on a lute of ten strings I will sing praises to you,
10 你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救僕人大衛脫離害命之刀的。
who give salvation to kings, who rescued David your servant from an evil sword.
11 求你救拔我， 救我脫離外邦人的手。 他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。
Rescue me and free me from the hand of foreigners. Their mouths speak lies, and their right hand is falsehood.
12 我們的兒子從幼年好像樹栽子長大； 我們的女兒如同殿角石， 是按建宮的樣式鑿成的。
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 我們的倉盈滿，能出各樣的糧食； 我們的羊在田間孳生千萬。
May our storehouses be full with every kind of produce, and may our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 我們的牛馱着滿馱， 沒有人闖進來搶奪， 也沒有人出去爭戰； 我們的街市上也沒有哭號的聲音。
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 遇見這光景的百姓便為有福！ 有耶和華為他們的上帝，這百姓便為有福！
Blessed is the people with such blessings; happy is the people whose God is Yahweh.
