Psalms 144
1 David’s. Blessed be Yahweh, my Rock, who teacheth my hands to war, my fingers to fight:
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。
2 My lovingkindness and my stronghold, my high tower and my deliverer—mine! My buckler, and he in whom I have sought refuge, —He that subdueth my people under me.
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。
3 O Yahweh! what is the earthborn, And yet thou hast acknowledged him, —the son of a mortal, And yet thou hast taken account of him:
耶和华啊，人算什么，你竟认识他！ 世人算什么，你竟顾念他！
4 The earthborn, resembleth, a vapour, his days, are like a passing shadow.
人好像一口气； 他的年日如同影儿快快过去。
5 O Yahweh! bow thy heavens and come down, Touch the mountains, that they smoke:
耶和华啊，求你使天下垂，亲自降临， 摸山，山就冒烟。
6 Flash forth lightning, that thou mayest scatter them, Send out thine arrows, that thou mayest confound them:
求你发出闪电，使他们四散， 射出你的箭，使他们扰乱。
7 Put forth thy hands from on high: —Snatch me away and rescue me out of mighty waters, out of the hand of the sons of the alien,
求你从上伸手救拔我， 救我出离大水， 救我脱离外邦人的手。
8 Whose mouth, hath spoken deceit, and, whose right hand, is a right hand of falsehood.
他们的口说谎话； 他们的右手起假誓。
9 O God! a new song, will I sing unto thee, —On a harp of ten strings, will I make music to thee:
神啊，我要向你唱新歌， 用十弦瑟向你歌颂。
10 Who giveth victory unto kings—Who snatcheth away David his servant, from the calamitous sword.
你是那拯救君王的； 你是那救仆人大卫脱离害命之刀的。
11 Snatch me away and rescue me out of he hand of the sons of the alien, —whose mouth hath spoken deceit, and, whose right hand, is a right hand of falsehood: —
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。
12 That, our sons, may be like plants well grown while yet young, —Our daughters, like corner pillars, —carved, in the construction of a palace:
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。
13 Our garners, full, pouring out from one kind to another; Our flocks, multiplying by thousands—by myriads, in our open fields:
我们的仓盈满，能出各样的粮食； 我们的羊在田间孳生千万。
14 Our oxen, well-laden; no breaking in and no departing, —and no loud lament in our places of concourse: —
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。
15 How happy the people that is in such a case! How happy the people that hath Yahweh for its God!
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！
