Psalms 72

1 A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.

所罗门的诗。 神啊，求你将判断的权柄赐给王， 将公义赐给王的儿子。

2 May he rightly judge your people, and may he be fair to the poor.

他要按公义审判你的民， 按公平审判你的困苦人。

3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring goodness.

大山小山都要因公义使民得享平安。

4 May he defend the poor and save their children, may he crush those who oppress them.

他必为民中的困苦人伸冤， 拯救穷乏之辈， 压碎那欺压人的。

5 May they respect him as long as the sun and the moon shine above, for all generations.

太阳还存，月亮还在， 人要敬畏你，直到万代！

6 May his reign be like rain falling on new grass, like showers that water the earth.

他必降临，像雨降在已割的草地上， 如甘霖滋润田地。

7 May those who live right prosper under his rule; may there be great prosperity until the moon is no more.

在他的日子，义人要发旺， 大有平安，好像月亮长存。

8 May he rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.

他要执掌权柄，从这海直到那海， 从大河直到地极。

9 Desert tribes will kneel before him; and his enemies will bite the dust.

住在旷野的，必在他面前下拜； 他的仇敌必要舔土。

10 The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with gifts.

他施和海岛的王要进贡； 示巴和西巴的王要献礼物。

11 Every king will bow down to him; every nation will serve him.

诸王都要叩拜他； 万国都要事奉他。

12 He will help the poor when they cry out to him, and help those who are suffering that have no one to support them.

因为，穷乏人呼求的时候，他要搭救； 没有人帮助的困苦人，他也要搭救。

13 He has pity on the poor and needy—he saves their lives!

他要怜恤贫寒和穷乏的人， 拯救穷苦人的性命。

14 He rescues them from violence and oppression, for their lives mean so much to him.

他要救赎他们脱离欺压和强暴； 他们的血在他眼中看为宝贵。

15 May he live long! May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him and bless him all day long.

他们要存活。 示巴的金子要奉给他； 人要常常为他祷告，终日称颂他。

16 May there be plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a field.

在地的山顶上，五谷必然茂盛； 所结的谷实要响动，如黎巴嫩的树林； 城里的人要发旺，如地上的草。

17 May his fame live forever, may it last as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they praise him.

他的名要存到永远， 要留传如日之久。 人要因他蒙福； 万国要称他有福。

18 Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who is the only one who can do such fantastic things!

独行奇事的耶和华—以色列的 神 是应当称颂的！

19 Praise his wonderful nature forever! May the whole world be full of his glory! Amen and amen!

他荣耀的名也当称颂，直到永远。 愿他的荣耀充满全地！ 阿们！阿们！

20 (This is the end of the psalms of David, son of Jesse.)

耶西的儿子—大卫的祈祷完毕。
