詩篇 72
1 所羅門的詩。 上帝啊，求你將判斷的權柄賜給王， 將公義賜給王的兒子。
[By Solomon.] God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2 他要按公義審判你的民， 按公平審判你的困苦人。
He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3 大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。
The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 他必為民中的困苦人伸冤， 拯救窮乏之輩， 壓碎那欺壓人的。
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5 太陽還存，月亮還在， 人要敬畏你，直到萬代！
They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 他必降臨，像雨降在已割的草地上， 如甘霖滋潤田地。
He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 在他的日子，義人要發旺， 大有平安，好像月亮長存。
In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8 他要執掌權柄，從這海直到那海， 從大河直到地極。
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the farthest parts of the earth.
9 住在曠野的，必在他面前下拜； 他的仇敵必要舔土。
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 他施和海島的王要進貢； 示巴和西巴的王要獻禮物。
The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 諸王都要叩拜他； 萬國都要事奉他。
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 因為，窮乏人呼求的時候，他要搭救； 沒有人幫助的困苦人，他也要搭救。
For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13 他要憐恤貧寒和窮乏的人， 拯救窮苦人的性命。
He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14 他要救贖他們脫離欺壓和強暴； 他們的血在他眼中看為寶貴。
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15 他們要存活。 示巴的金子要奉給他； 人要常常為他禱告，終日稱頌他。
And he shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to him. Men shall pray for him continually. He shall bless him all day long.
16 在地的山頂上，五穀必然茂盛； 所結的穀實要響動，如黎巴嫩的樹林； 城裏的人要發旺，如地上的草。
There shall be abundance of grain throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17 他的名要存到永遠， 要留傳如日之久。 人要因他蒙福； 萬國要稱他有福。
His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18 獨行奇事的耶和華－以色列的上帝 是應當稱頌的！
Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 他榮耀的名也當稱頌，直到永遠。 願他的榮耀充滿全地！ 阿們！阿們！
Blessed be his glorious name forever. Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen.
20 耶西的兒子－大衛的祈禱完畢。
This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
