Psalms 144

1 Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

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。

2 He is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. He is my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

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。

3 O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him?

耶和華啊，人算甚麼，你竟認識他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！

4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

人好像一口氣； 他的年日如同影兒快快過去。

5 Part Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨， 摸山，山就冒煙。

6 Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and rout them.

求你發出閃電，使他們四散， 射出你的箭，使他們擾亂。

7 Reach down from on high; set me free and rescue me from the deep waters, from the grasp of foreigners,

求你從上伸手救拔我， 救我出離大水， 救我脫離外邦人的手。

8 whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。

9 I will sing to You a new song, O God; on a harp of ten strings I will make music to You—

上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌頌。

10 to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.

你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救僕人大衛脫離害命之刀的。

11 Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

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。

12 Then our sons will be like plants nurtured in their youth, our daughters like corner pillars carved to adorn a palace.

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。

13 Our storehouses will be full, supplying all manner of produce; our flocks will bring forth thousands, tens of thousands in our fields.

我們的倉盈滿，能出各樣的糧食； 我們的羊在田間孳生千萬。

14 Our oxen will bear great loads. There will be no breach in the walls, no going into captivity, and no cry of lament in our streets.

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。

15 Blessed are the people of whom this is so; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.

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！
