詩篇 第 72 篇

¹（所羅門的詩。）神啊，求你將判斷的權柄賜給王，將公義賜給王的兒子。Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

²他要按公義審判你的民，按公平審判你的困苦人。He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

³大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

⁴他必為民中的困苦人伸冤，拯救窮乏之輩，壓碎那欺壓人的。He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

⁵太陽還存，月亮還在，人要敬畏你，直到萬代！They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

⁶他必降臨，像雨降在已割的草地上，如甘霖滋潤田地。He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

⁷在他的日子，義人要發旺，大有平安，好像月亮長存。In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

⁸他要執掌權柄，從這海直到那海，從大河直到地極。He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

⁹住在曠野的，必在他面前下拜；他的仇敵必要舔土。They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰他施和海島的王要進貢；示巴和西巴的王要獻禮物。The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹¹諸王都要叩拜他；萬國都要事奉他。Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

¹²因為，窮乏人呼求的時候，他要搭救；沒有人幫助的困苦人，他也要搭救。For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

¹³他要憐恤貧寒和窮乏的人，拯救窮苦人的性命。He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

¹⁴他要救贖他們脫離欺壓和強暴；他們的血在他眼中看為寶貴。He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

¹⁵他們要存活。示巴的金子要奉給他；人要常常為他禱告，終日稱頌他。And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

¹⁶在地的山頂上，五穀必然茂盛（或譯：有一把五穀）；所結的穀實要響動，如利巴嫩的樹林；城裡的人要發旺，如地上的草。There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

¹⁷他的名要存到永遠，要留傳如日之久。人要因他蒙福；萬國要稱他有福。His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

¹⁸獨行奇事的耶和華─以色列的神是應當稱頌的！Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

¹⁹他榮耀的名也當稱頌，直到永遠。願他的榮耀充滿全地！阿們！阿們！And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

²⁰耶西的兒子─大衛的祈禱完畢。The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
