旧约--诗篇(psalms)--第 144 章

144:1 （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。

blessed be the lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

144:2 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。

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.

144:3 耶和华阿，人算什么，你竟认识他。世人算什么，你竟顾念他。

lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

144:4 人好像一口气。他的年日，如同影儿快快过去。

man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

144:5 耶和华阿，求你使天下垂，亲自降临，摸山，山就冒烟。

bow thy heavens, o lord, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

144:6 求你发出闪电，使他们四散，射出你的箭，使他们扰乱。

cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

144:7 求你从上伸手救拔我，救我出离大水，救我脱离外邦人的手。

send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

144:8 他们的口说谎话。他们的右手起假誓。

whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

144:9 神阿，我要向你唱新歌，用十弦瑟向你歌颂。

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.

144:10 你是那拯救君王的。你是那救仆人大卫脱离害命之刀的。

it is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth david his servant from the hurtful sword.

144:11 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。

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:

144:12 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。

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:

144:13 我们的仓盈满，能出各样的粮食。我们的羊，在田间孳生千万。

that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

144:14 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。

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.

144:15 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。

happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose god is the lord.
