Psalms 72

1 Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.

1 上帝啊， 求你将你的公正赐给王， 将你的公义赐给王的儿子。

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

2 让他凭公义审判你的子民， 按公平对待那些贫苦的人。

3 May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.

3 愿大山给百姓带来繁荣， 小山带来公义。

4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.

4 愿他为百姓中受苦的人主持公道， 拯救贫穷的人，打倒欺压者。

5 May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.

5 只要日月尚存， 愿百姓世世代代敬畏你。

6 May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.

6 愿他的统治如春雨降在新割过的草场上， 又像甘霖滋润大地。

7 May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound until the moon is no more.

7 在他统治之下， 愿义人兴旺，国富民强， 如月长存。

8 May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.

8 愿他的疆域横跨洋海， 从幼发拉底河直到地极。

9 May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.

9 愿旷野的居民都来向他下拜， 敌人都仆倒在尘土中。

10 May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

10 愿他施和海岛的君王都纳贡称臣， 愿示巴和西巴的君王都献上礼物。

11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.

11 愿君王都敬拜他， 万国都事奉他。

12 For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.

12 贫穷人呼求，他便搭救； 困苦人无助，他就伸出援手。

13 He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.

13 他怜悯软弱和贫困的人， 拯救贫困人的性命。

14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.

14 他要救他们脱离压迫和暴力， 因为他爱惜他们的生命。

15 Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.

15 愿王寿命长久， 愿人将示巴的金子献给他， 愿人不断为他祷告，终日祝福他。

16 May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, the people of its cities like the grass of the field.

16 愿遍地五谷丰登， 山顶上晃动着累累果实， 如黎巴嫩的密林。 愿各城人口稠密如原野的青草。

17 May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.

17 愿他的名流芳百世，如日长存。 愿万国都因他而蒙福， 并称他是有福的。

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

18 以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂， 唯有祂行奇妙的事。

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

19 愿祂荣耀的名永受称颂！ 愿普天下充满祂的荣耀。 阿们！阿们！

20 Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.

20 耶西的儿子大卫的祷告结束。
