詩篇 144
1 戰することをわが手にをしへ 闘ふことをわが指にをしへたまふ わが磐ヱホバはほむべきかな
[A Psalm] of David. Blessed be Jehovah my rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight;
2 ヱホバはわが仁慈わが城なり わがたかき櫓われをすくひたまふ者なり わが盾わが依賴むものなり ヱホバはわが民をわれにしたがはせたまふ
My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me!
3 ヱホバよ人はいかなる者なれば之をしり 人の子はいかなる者なれば之をみこころに記たまふや
Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him, the son of man, that thou takest thought of him?
4 人は氣息にことならず その存らふる日はすぎゆく影にひとし
Man is like to vanity; his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5 ヱホバよねがはくはなんぢの天をたれてくだり 手を山につけて煙をたたしめたまへ
Jehovah, bow thy heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, that they smoke;
6 電光をうちいだして彼等をちらし なんぢの矢をはなちてかれらを敗りたまへ
Cast forth lightnings, and scatter them; send forth thine arrows, and discomfit them:
7 上より手をのべ我をすくひて 大水より外人の手よりたすけいだしたまへ
Stretch out thy hands from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of aliens,
8 かれらの口はむなしき言をいひ その右の手はいつはりのみぎの手なり
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 神よわれ汝にむかひて新らしき歌をうたひ 十絃の琴にあはせて汝をほめうたはん
O God, I will sing a new song unto thee; with the ten-stringed lute will I sing psalms unto thee:
10 なんぢは王たちに救をあたへ 僕ダビデをわざはひの劍よりすくひたまふ神なり
Who givest salvation unto kings; who rescuest David thy servant from the hurtful sword.
11 ねがはくは我をすくひて外人の手よりたすけいだしたまへ かれらの口はむなしき言をいひ その右の手はいつはりのみぎの手なり
Rescue me, and deliver me from the hand of aliens, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 われらの男子はとしわかきとき育ちたる草木のごとくわれらの女子は宮のふりにならひて刻みいだしし隅の石のごとくならん
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; our daughters as corner-columns, sculptured after the fashion of a palace:
13 われらの倉はみちたらひてさまざまのものをそなへ われらの羊は野にて千萬の子をうみ
Our granaries full, affording all manner of store; our sheep bringing forth thousands, ten thousands in our pastures;
14 われらの牡牛はよく物をおひ われらの衢にはせめいることなく亦おしいづることなく叫ぶこともなからん
Our kine laden [with young]; no breaking in and no going forth, and no outcry in our streets.
15 かかる状の民はさいはひなり ヱホバをおのが神とする民はさいはひなり
Blessed the people that is in such a case! Blessed the people whose God is Jehovah!
