Psalms 144
1 [A Psalm] of David concerning Goliad. Blessed [be] the Lord my God, who instructs my hands for battle, [and] my fingers for war.
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 My mercy, and my refuge; my helper, and my deliverer; my protector, in whom I have trusted; who subdues my people 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 Lord, what is man, that you are made known to him? or the son of man, that you take account 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 to vanity: his days pass as a shadow.
人好像一口氣； 他的年日如同影兒快快過去。
5 O Lord, bow your heavens, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨， 摸山，山就冒煙。
6 Send lightning, and you shall scatter them: send forth your arrows, and you shall discomfit them.
求你發出閃電，使他們四散， 射出你的箭，使他們擾亂。
7 Send forth your hand from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strange children;
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 mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity.
他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。
9 O God, I will sing a new song to you: I will play to you on a lute of ten strings.
上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌頌。
10 [Even] to him who gives salvation to kings: who redeems his servant David from the hurtful 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 Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;
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 whose children are as plants, strengthened in their youth: their daughters are beautiful, sumptuously adorned after the similitude of a temple.
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 Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets.
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 Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.
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 Men bless the people to whom this lot belongs, [but] blessed is 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！
