< Psalms 144 >
1 A Psalm of David. Blessed be the LORD my strength, who teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
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 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
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 is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
耶和华啊,人算什么,你竟认识他! 世人算什么,你竟顾念他!
4 Man is like vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
人好像一口气; 他的年日如同影儿快快过去。
5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
耶和华啊,求你使天下垂,亲自降临, 摸山,山就冒烟。
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot thy arrows, and destroy them.
求你发出闪电,使他们四散, 射出你的箭,使他们扰乱。
7 Send thy hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners;
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 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
他们的口说谎话; 他们的右手起假誓。
9 I will sing a new song to thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises to thee.
神啊,我要向你唱新歌, 用十弦瑟向你歌颂。
10 It is he that giveth salvation to kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful 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 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
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 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of 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 That our barns may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
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 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
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 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, 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!
