詩篇 72
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
為君王祈禱
所羅門的詩。
72 上帝啊，
求你將你的公正賜給王，
將你的公義賜給王的兒子。
2 讓他憑公義審判你的子民，
按公平對待那些貧苦的人。
3 願大山給百姓帶來繁榮，
小山帶來公義。
4 願他保護百姓中受苦的人，
拯救貧窮的人，打倒欺壓者。
5 只要日月尚存，
願百姓永遠敬畏你。
6 願他的統治如春雨降在新割過的草場上，
又像甘霖滋潤大地。
7 在他統治之下，
願義人興旺，國富民強，
如月長存。
8 願他的疆域橫跨洋海，
從幼發拉底河直到地極。
9 願曠野的居民都來向他下拜，
敵人都仆倒在塵土中。
10 願他施、示巴和西巴的君王都來納貢稱臣。
11 願君王都敬拜他，
萬國都事奉他。
12 貧窮人呼求，他便搭救；
困苦人無助，他就伸出援手。
13 他憐憫軟弱和貧困的人，
拯救貧困人的性命。
14 他要救他們脫離別人的壓迫和暴力，
因為他愛惜他們的生命。
15 願王壽命長久，
願人們將示巴的金子獻給他，
不斷為他禱告，
終日稱頌他。
16 願遍地五穀豐登，
山頂上出產豐富，
如黎巴嫩的密林。
願各城人口稠密如原野的青草。
17 願他的名流芳百世，如日長存。
願萬國都因他而蒙福，
都稱頌他。
18 以色列的上帝耶和華當受稱頌，
唯有祂行奇妙的事。
19 願祂榮耀的名永受稱頌！
願普天下充滿祂的榮耀。
阿們！阿們！
20 耶西的兒子大衛的禱告結束。
Psalm 72

Give the King Your Judgments
Of Solomon.
72 O God, give the king (A)Your judgments,
And (B)Your righteousness to the king’s son.
2 [a]May [b]he (C)render judgment to Your people with righteousness
And (D)Your [c]afflicted with justice.
3 Let the mountains lift up [d](E)peace to the people,
And the hills, in righteousness.
4 [e]May he (F)give justice to the [f]afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy,
And crush the oppressor.
5 [g]Let them fear You (G)while the sun endures,
And [h]as long as the moon, from generation to all generations.
6 [i]May he come down (H)like rain upon the mown grass,
Like (I)showers that water the earth.
7 [j]May the (J)righteous flourish in his days,
And (K)abundance of peace until the moon is no more.
8 May he also have dominion (L)from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 [k]Let (M)the desert creatures (N)kneel before him,
And his enemies (O)lick the dust.
10 [l]Let the kings of (P)Tarshish and of the (Q)coastlands bring a present;
The kings of (R)Sheba and (S)Seba (T)offer tribute.
11 [m]And let all (U)kings bow down to him,
All (V)nations serve him.
12 For he will (W)deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The [n]afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
13 He will have (X)compassion on the poor and needy,
And the [o]lives of the needy he will save.
14 He will (Y)redeem their [p]life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be (Z)precious in his sight;
15 So may he live! And may they give to him the (AA)gold of Sheba;
And let each pray for him continually;
Let each bless him all day long.
16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
May its fruit wave like the cedars of (AB)Lebanon;
And may those from the city blossom like (AC)vegetation of the earth.
17 May his (AD)name endure forever;
May his name [q]increase [r](AE)as long as the sun shines;
Let all nations [s](AF)be blessed in him;
(AG)Let all nations call him blessed.
18 (AH)Blessed be Yahweh God, the God of Israel,
Who alone (AI)works wondrous deeds.
19 And blessed be His (AJ)glorious name forever;
And may the whole (AK)earth be filled with His glory.
(AL)Amen, and Amen.
20 [t]The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are completed.
