Psalms 144
1 BY DAVID. Blessed [is] YHWH my Rock, Who is teaching 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 My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing 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 YHWH, what [is] man that You know him? The son of man, that You esteem 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 has been like a breath, His days [are] as a shadow passing by.
人好像一口氣； 他的年日如同影兒快快過去。
5 YHWH, incline Your heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨， 摸山，山就冒煙。
6 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Your arrows, and trouble 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, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,
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 Because their mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood.
他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。
9 O God, I sing to You a new song, I sing praise to You on a stringed instrument of ten strings.
上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌頌。
10 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing His servant David from the sword of evil.
你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救僕人大衛脫離害命之刀的。
11 Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth has spoken vanity, And their right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood,
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 Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished—the likeness of 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 granaries [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind, Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our out-places,
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 are carrying, there is no breach, And there is no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places.
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 O the blessedness of the people that is thus, O the blessedness of the people whose God [is] YHWH!
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！
