詩篇 第 144 篇

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

²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。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耶和華啊，人算甚麼，你竟認識他！世人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

⁴人好像一口氣；他的年日如同影兒快快過去。Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

⁵耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨，摸山，山就冒煙。Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

⁶求你發出閃電，使他們四散，射出你的箭，使他們擾亂。Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

⁷求你從上伸手救拔我，救我出離大水，救我脫離外邦人的手。Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

⁸他們的口說謊話；他們的右手起假誓。Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

⁹神啊，我要向你唱新歌，用十弦瑟向你歌頌。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；你是那救僕人大衛脫離害命之刀的。It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

¹¹求你救拔我，救我脫離外邦人的手。他們的口說謊話；他們的右手起假誓。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。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我們的倉盈滿，能出各樣的糧食；我們的羊在田間孳生千萬。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我們的牛馱著滿馱，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。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遇見這光景的百姓便為有福！有耶和華為他們的神，這百姓便為有福！Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
