Psalms 144
1 A Psalme of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth mine hands to fight, and my fingers to battell.
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。
2 He is my goodnes and my fortresse, my towre and my deliuerer, my shield, and in him I trust, which subdueth my people vnder me.
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。
3 Lord, what is man that thou regardest him! or the sonne of man that thou thinkest vpon him!
耶和華啊，人算甚麼，你竟認識他！ 世人算甚麼，你竟顧念他！
4 Man is like to vanitie: his dayes are like a shadow, that vanisheth.
人好像一口氣； 他的年日如同影兒快快過去。
5 Bow thine heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines and they shall smoke.
耶和華啊，求你使天下垂，親自降臨， 摸山，山就冒煙。
6 Cast forth the lightning and scatter them: shoote out thine arrowes, and consume them.
求你發出閃電，使他們四散， 射出你的箭，使他們擾亂。
7 Send thine hand from aboue: deliuer me, and take me out of the great waters, and from the hand of strangers,
求你從上伸手救拔我， 救我出離大水， 救我脫離外邦人的手。
8 Whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
他們的口說謊話； 他們的右手起假誓。
9 I wil sing a new song vnto thee, O God, and sing vnto thee vpon a viole, and an instrument of ten strings.
上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌頌。
10 It is he that giueth deliuerance vnto Kings, and rescueth Dauid his seruant from the hurtfull sworde.
你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救僕人大衛脫離害命之刀的。
11 Rescue me, and deliuer me from the hand of strangers, whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falshood:
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。
12 That our sonnes may be as the plantes growing vp in their youth, and our daughters as the corner stones, grauen after the similitude of a palace:
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。
13 That our corners may be full, and abounding with diuers sorts, and that our sheepe may bring forth thousands and ten thousand in our streetes:
我們的倉盈滿，能出各樣的糧食； 我們的羊在田間孳生千萬。
14 That our oxen may be strong to labour: that there be none inuasion, nor going out, nor no crying in our streetes.
我們的牛馱着滿馱， 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。
15 Blessed are the people, that be so, yea, blessed are the people, whose God is the Lord.
遇見這光景的百姓便為有福！ 有耶和華為他們的上帝，這百姓便為有福！
