Psalms 144
1 A psalm of David. Praise the Lord—he is my rock. He trains me for battle, he gives me skill for war.
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。
2 He is the one who faithfully loves me, protects me, and defends me. He is the one who rescues me, shields me from danger, and keeps me safe. He defeats nations and places them under my rule.
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。
3 Lord, what are human beings that you should care about them? What are people that you should concern yourself with them?
耶和华啊，人算什么，你竟认识他！ 世人算什么，你竟顾念他！
4 Humanity is like a breath; their lives are like a passing shadow.
人好像一口气； 他的年日如同影儿快快过去。
5 Part your heavens and come down. Touch the mountains so that they give off smoke.
耶和华啊，求你使天下垂，亲自降临， 摸山，山就冒烟。
6 Scatter your enemies with flashes of lightning! Let your arrows fly and send them running in confusion!
求你发出闪电，使他们四散， 射出你的箭，使他们扰乱。
7 Stretch down your hand from heaven and set me free. Rescue me from raging waters, from the oppression of foreign enemies.
求你从上伸手救拔我， 救我出离大水， 救我脱离外邦人的手。
8 They are such liars, even telling lies under oath.
他们的口说谎话； 他们的右手起假誓。
9 God, I will sing a new song to you, accompanied by a ten-stringed harp,
神啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌颂。
10 to you, the one who gives victory to kings. You saved your servant David from death by the sword.
你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救仆人大卫脱离害命之刀的。
11 Set me free. Rescue me from the oppression of foreign enemies. They are such liars, even telling lies under oath.
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。
12 Then our sons will grow up like plants in their youth and become mature, and our daughters will be like beautiful pillars carved to support a palace.
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。
13 Our storehouses will be full of all kinds of crops; our flocks of sheep will grow by thousands, increasing by tens of thousands in the pastures.
我们的仓盈满，能出各样的粮食； 我们的羊在田间孳生千万。
14 Our cattle will grow fat. No one will break down our city walls, there will be no exile, no cries of mourning in our town squares.
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。
15 The people who live like this will be happy. Happy are those whose God is the Lord.
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！
