Capítulo 72

¹[A Psalm] of Solomon. Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king's son.

¹（所羅門的詩。）神啊，求你將判斷的權柄賜給王，將公義賜給王的兒子。

²May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice.

²他要按公義審判你的民，按公平審判你的困苦人。

³Let the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

³大山小山都要因公義使民得享平安。

⁴May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor.

⁴他必為民中的困苦人伸冤，拯救窮乏之輩，壓碎那欺壓人的。

⁵Let them fear You while the sun [endures], And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

⁵太陽還存，月亮還在，人要敬畏你，直到萬代！

⁶May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth.

⁶他必降臨，像雨降在已割的草地上，如甘霖滋潤田地。

⁷In his days may the righteous flourish, And abundance of peace till the moon is no more.

⁷在他的日子，義人要發旺，大有平安，好像月亮長存。

⁸May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth.

⁸他要執掌權柄，從這海直到那海，從大河直到地極。

⁹Let the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.

⁹住在曠野的，必在他面前下拜；他的仇敵必要舔土。

¹⁰Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

¹⁰他施和海島的王要進貢；示巴和西巴的王要獻禮物。

¹¹And let all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him.

¹¹諸王都要叩拜他；萬國都要事奉他。

¹²For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

¹²因為，窮乏人呼求的時候，他要搭救；沒有人幫助的困苦人，他也要搭救。

¹³He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save.

¹³他要憐恤貧寒和窮乏的人，拯救窮苦人的性命。

¹⁴He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;

¹⁴他要救贖他們脫離欺壓和強暴；他們的血在他眼中看為寶貴。

¹⁵So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And let them pray for him continually; Let them bless him all day long.

¹⁵他們要存活。示巴的金子要奉給他；人要常常為他禱告，終日稱頌他。

¹⁶May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like [the cedars of] Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.

¹⁶在地的山頂上，五穀必然茂盛（或譯：有一把五穀）；所結的穀實要響動，如利巴嫩的樹林；城裡的人要發旺，如地上的草。

¹⁷May his name endure forever; May his name increase as long as the sun [shines]; And let [men] bless themselves by him; Let all nations call him blessed.

¹⁷他的名要存到永遠，要留傳如日之久。人要因他蒙福；萬國要稱他有福。

¹⁸Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.

¹⁸獨行奇事的耶和華─以色列的神是應當稱頌的！

¹⁹And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

¹⁹他榮耀的名也當稱頌，直到永遠。願他的榮耀充滿全地！阿們！阿們！

²⁰The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

²⁰耶西的兒子─大衛的祈禱完畢。
