诗篇 144
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求拯救与丰裕
大卫的诗。
144 耶和华——我的磐石当受称颂，
祂使我能争善战。
2 祂是我慈爱的上帝，
我的堡垒，我的避难所，
我的拯救者，我的盾牌，
我投靠祂。
祂使列国臣服于我。
3 耶和华啊，
人算什么，你竟顾念他？
世人算什么，你竟眷顾他？
4 因为人不过像一口气，
他的年日不过像影子转眼消逝。
5 耶和华啊，
求你打开天门，亲自降临；
求你触摸群山，使群山冒烟。
6 求你发出闪电驱散敌人，
求你射出利箭击溃他们。
7 求你从天上伸手从惊涛骇浪中拯救我，
从外族人手中拯救我。
8 他们满口谎言，
起誓也心怀诡诈。
9 上帝啊，我要向你唱新歌，
用十弦琴歌颂你。
10 你使君王得胜，
救你的仆人大卫逃离刀剑的杀戮。
11 求你从外族人手中拯救我，
他们满口谎言，
起誓也心怀诡诈。
12 愿我们的儿子年轻时像茁壮的树木，
我们的女儿像宫殿中精雕的柱子。
13 愿我们的仓库堆满各样的谷物，
我们的羊在田野繁衍众多，
成千上万。
14 愿我们的牲口驮满货物[a]，
我们的城墙固若金汤，
无人被掳，街上没有哭叫声。
15 生活在这种光景里的人有福了！
尊耶和华为上帝的人有福了！

144 ·Praise [Blessed be] the Lord, my Rock [61:2],
who trains ·me [L my hands] for war,
who trains ·me [L my fingers] for battle.
2 ·He protects me like a strong, walled city, and he loves me [L He is my loyal one and my fortress].
He is my ·defender [stronghold] and my ·Savior [rescuer],
my shield ·and my protection [L in whom I find refuge].
He ·helps me keep my people under control [L subdues my people under me].
3 Lord, ·why are people important to you [L what are people that you care about them]?
·Why do you even think about human beings [L What are human beings that you think about them; 8:4]?
4 People are like ·a breath [vapor; 39:5, 11; 62:9; Eccl. 1:2];
their ·lives [L days] are like passing shadows [102:11; 109:23; Eccl. 6:12].
5 Lord, ·tear open [bend] the ·sky [heavens] and come down.
Touch the mountains so they will smoke [18:9; Ex. 19:11, 18–19].
6 Send the lightning and scatter ·my enemies [L them].
Shoot your arrows and ·force them away [rout them; 18:14].
7 ·Reach down [L Send forth your hand] from above.
·Save me [Set me free] and ·rescue [protect] me ·out of this sea of enemies [L from the mighty waters; C symbolizing chaos],
from ·these [L the hand/power of] foreigners.
8 ·They are liars [L Their mouths speak vanities/falsehood];
·they are dishonest [L their right hand is a false right hand].
9 God, I will sing a new song [C celebrating victory; 33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 149:1; Is. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3] to you;
I will ·play [make a psalm] to you on the ten-stringed harp.
10 You give ·victory [salvation] to kings.
You ·save [set free] your servant David from ·cruel [evil] swords.
11 ·Save me [Set me free], ·rescue [protect] me from ·these [L the hand/power of the] foreigners.
·They are liars [L Their mouths speak vanities/falsehood]; ·they are dishonest [L their right hand is a false right hand].
12 Let our sons in their youth
·grow like plants [or be like full-grown plants; C robust and vital; 128:3].
Let our daughters be
like the ·decorated [cut] ·stones [or pillars] in the ·Temple [or palace; C stately and beautiful].
13 Let our barns be filled
with crops of all kinds.
Let our sheep in the fields have
thousands and tens of thousands of lambs.
14 Let our cattle be ·strong [well fed; or heavy with young].
Let ·no one break in [L there be no breach; or no miscarriage; C in the city walls].
Let there be no ·war [L going out; C in war or exile, or perhaps referring to premature birth],
no screams in our ·streets [public areas].
15 ·Happy [Blessed] are ·those [L the people] who are like this;
·happy [blessed] are the people whose God is the Lord.
