诗篇 72
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈願王公正仁慈的治理永存
所羅門的詩。
72 神啊!求你把你的公正賜給王,
把你的公義賜給王子。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)
2 他要按著公義審判你的子民,
憑著公正審判你的困苦人。
3 因著公義,
願大山和小山都給人民帶來和平。
4 他必為民間的困苦人伸冤,
拯救貧窮人,
粉碎那欺壓人的。
5 他必像日月一般長久,
直到萬代(按照《馬索拉文本》,本節應作“日月還在的時候,願人都敬畏你,直到萬代”;現參照《七十士譯本》翻譯)。
6 他必像雨降在已割的草地上,
像甘霖滋潤大地。
7 他在世的日子,義人必興旺,
四境太平,直到月亮不再重現。
8 他要執掌權柄,從這海到那海,
從大河直到地極。
9 住在曠野的人必向他屈身,
他的仇敵必舔塵土。
10 他施和海島的列王都必帶來禮物,
示巴和西巴的列王都必獻上貢物。
11 眾王都必向他俯伏,
萬國都必服事他。
12 因為貧窮人呼求的時候,他就搭救;
沒有人幫助的困苦人,他也搭救。
13 他必憐恤軟弱和貧窮的人,
拯救貧窮人的性命。
14 他要救他們脫離欺凌和強暴,
他們的血在他眼中看為寶貴。
15 願他長久活著,
願人把示巴的金子奉給他,
願人為他不住禱告,
終日給他祝福。
16 願地上五穀豐登,
山頂上也都豐收;
願地上的果實茂盛,像黎巴嫩山的樹林,
願城裡的人繁衍,好像地上的青草。
17 願他的名永遠常存,
願他的名延續像太陽的恆久;
願萬人都因他蒙福,
願萬國都稱他為有福的。
18 獨行奇事的以色列的 神,
就是耶和華 神,是應當稱頌的。
19 他榮耀的名也是應當永遠稱頌的;
願他的榮耀充滿全地。
阿們,阿們。
20 耶西的兒子大衛的禱告完畢。
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.
