诗篇 第 144 篇

¹（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。Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

²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。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.

³耶和华啊，人算甚么，你竟认识他！世人算甚么，你竟顾念他！LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

⁴人好像一口气；他的年日如同影儿快快过去。Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

⁵耶和华啊，求你使天下垂，亲自降临，摸山，山就冒烟。Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

⁶求你发出闪电，使他们四散，射出你的箭，使他们扰乱。Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

⁷求你从上伸手救拔我，救我出离大水，救我脱离外邦人的手。Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

⁸他们的口说谎话；他们的右手起假誓。Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹神啊，我要向你唱新歌，用十弦瑟向你歌颂。I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

¹⁰你是那拯救君王的；你是那救仆人大卫脱离害命之刀的。It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

¹¹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。Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

¹²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。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:

¹³我们的仓盈满，能出各样的粮食；我们的羊在田间孳生千万。That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

¹⁴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。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.

¹⁵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！Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
