诗篇 89
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
永远配受称颂的上帝
以斯拉人以探的训诲诗。
89 我要永远称颂耶和华的慈爱!
我的口要传扬你的信实直到万代。
2 我要让人知道:
你的慈爱存到永远,
你的信实与天同存。
3 你曾说:
“我与我所拣选的人立了约,
向我的仆人大卫起了誓,
4 ‘我要使你的后裔永远坐在宝座上,世代为王。’”(细拉)
5 耶和华啊,
诸天要颂扬你的奇妙,
众圣者要赞美你的信实。
6 天上有谁能与耶和华相比,
众天使中谁能像祂?
7 祂在众圣者的会中大受敬畏,
祂的威严无与伦比。
8 万军之上帝耶和华啊,
谁能像你能力伟大,信实无比?
9 你掌管汹涌的大海,
平息惊涛骇浪。
10 你击碎海怪[a],
以大能的臂膀驱散仇敌。
11 天地都属于你,
世界和其中的一切都是你造的。
12 你创造了南方和北方,
他泊山和黑门山都向你欢呼。
13 你有大能的臂膀,
双手充满力量。
14 你的宝座以公平和正义为根基,
你以慈爱和信实为先锋。
15 耶和华啊,
懂得向你欢呼的人有福了,
他们走在你的荣光之中。
16 他们因你的名终日欢欣,
因你的公义而雀跃。
17 你是他们的力量和荣耀,
你的恩惠使我们充满力量。
18 耶和华赐下保护我们的盾牌,
我们的王属于以色列的圣者。
19 你曾在异象中对你忠心的子民说:
“我已把力量赐给一位勇士,
已擢升我在民中拣选的人。
20 我找到了我的仆人大卫,
用我的圣油膏立他。
21 我的手必扶持他,
我的臂膀必加给他力量。
22 仇敌胜不过他,
恶人不能欺压他。
23 我要当着他的面击垮他的敌人,
打倒恨他的人。
24 我要以信实和慈爱待他,
他必因我的名而充满力量。
25 我要使他左手掌管大海,
右手统治江河。
26 他要向我高呼,
‘你是我的父亲,我的上帝,
拯救我的磐石。’
27 我要立他为我的长子,
使他做天下至尊的君王。
28 我要永远用慈爱待他,
我与他立的约永不更改。
29 我要使他的后裔永无穷尽,
让他的王位与天同存。
30 如果他的后代背弃我的律法,
不遵行我的典章,
31 触犯我的律例,
不守我的诫命,
32 我就会因他们的罪用杖惩罚他们,
用鞭子责打他们。
33 但我不会收回我的慈爱,
也不会背弃我的信实。
34 我必不毁约,也不食言。
35 因我曾凭自己的圣洁向大卫起誓,
我绝无谎言。
36 他的后裔必永无穷尽,
他的王位必在我面前如日长存,
37 又如天上亘古不变的月亮,
永远坚立。”(细拉)
38 如今,你对你所膏立的王大发怒气,丢弃了他。
39 你废弃与他所立的约,
把他的冠冕扔在尘土中。
40 你攻破了他的城墙,
使他的坚垒沦为废墟。
41 路人都趁机劫掠他的财物,
邻居都嘲笑他。
42 你助长了他敌人的势力,
使敌人洋洋得意。
43 你使他的刀剑失去锋芒,
你使他败退沙场。
44 你使他的威荣尽失,
王位倾覆。
45 你使他未老先衰,
满面羞愧。(细拉)
46 耶和华啊,
你隐藏自己要到何时呢?
要到永远吗?
你的怒火要烧到何时呢?
47 愿你顾念我的生命何其短暂!
你创造的世人何其虚幻!
48 谁能长生不死?
谁能救自己脱离死亡的权势呢?(细拉)
49 主啊,你从前凭自己的信实向大卫应许的慈爱在哪里呢?
50 主啊,求你顾念你仆人——我所受的羞辱,
我心中如何忍受列国的嘲笑。
51 耶和华啊,
你的仇敌嘲笑你所膏立的王,
他们嘲笑他的一举一动。
52 耶和华永远当受称颂。
阿们!阿们!

Psalm 89
Contemporary English Version
(A special psalm by Ethan the Ezrahite.)
The Lord's Agreement with David
1 (A) Our Lord, I will sing
of your love forever.
Everyone yet to be born
will hear me praise
your faithfulness.
2 I will tell them, “God's love
can always be trusted,
and his faithfulness lasts
as long as the heavens.”
3 You said, “David, my servant,
is my chosen one,
and this is the agreement
I made with him:
4 (B) David, one of your descendants
will always be king.”
5 Our Lord, let the heavens
now praise your miracles,
and let all your angels
praise your faithfulness.
6 None who live in the heavens
can compare with you.
7 You are the most fearsome
of all who live in heaven;
all the others fear
and greatly honor you.
8 You are Lord God All-Powerful!
No one is as loving
and faithful as you are.
9 You rule the roaring sea
and calm its waves.
10 You crushed the monster Rahab,[a]
and with your powerful arm
you scattered your enemies.
11 The heavens and the earth
belong to you.
And so does the world
with all its people
because you created them
12 and everything else.[b]
Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon
gladly praise you.
13 You are strong and mighty!
14 Your kingdom is ruled
by justice and fairness
with love and faithfulness
leading the way.
15 Our Lord, you bless those
who join in the festival
and walk in the brightness
of your presence.
16 We are happy all day
because of you,
and your saving power
brings honor to us.
17 Your own glorious power
makes us strong,
and because of your kindness,
our strength increases.
18 Our Lord and our King,
the Holy One of Israel,
you are truly our shield.
19 In a vision, you once said
to your faithful followers:
“I have helped a mighty hero.
I chose him from my people
and made him famous.
20 (C) David, my servant, is the one
I chose to be king,
21 and I will always be there
to help and strengthen him.
22 “No enemy will outsmart David,
and he won't be defeated
by any hateful people.
23 I will strike down and crush
his troublesome enemies.
24 He will always be able
to depend on my love,
and I will make him strong
with my own power.
25 I will let him rule the lands
across the rivers and seas.
26 He will say to me,
‘You are my Father
and my God,
as well as the mighty rock[c]
where I am safe.’
27 (D) “I have chosen David
as my first-born son,
and he will be the ruler
of all kings on earth.
28 My love for him will last,
and my agreement with him
will never be broken.
29 “One of David's descendants
will always be king,
and his family will rule
until the sky disappears.
30 Suppose some of his children
should reject my Law
and refuse my instructions.
31 Or suppose they should disobey
all of my teachings.
32 Then I will correct
and punish them
because of their sins.
33 But I will always love David
and faithfully keep all
of my promises to him.
34 “I won't break my agreement
or go back on my word.
35 I have sworn once and for all
by my own holy name,
and I won't lie to David.
36 His family will always rule.
I will let his kingdom last
as long as the sun 37 and moon
appear in the sky.”
38 You are now angry, Lord,
and you have turned your back
on your chosen king.
39 You broke off your agreement
with your servant, the king,
and you completely destroyed
his kingdom.
40 The walls of his city
have been broken through,
and every fortress
now lies in ruins.
41 All who pass by
take what they want,
and nations everywhere
joke about the king.
42 You made his enemies powerful
and let them celebrate.
43 But you forced him to retreat
because you did not fight
on his side.
44 You took his crown[d]
and threw his throne
in the dirt.
45 You made an old man of him
and put him to shame.
46 How much longer, Lord?
Will you hide forever?
How long will your anger
keep burning like fire?
47 Remember, life is short![e]
Why did you empty our lives
of all meaning?
48 No one can escape the power
of death and the grave.
49 Our Lord, where is the love
you have always shown
and that you promised
so faithfully to David?
50 Remember your servant, Lord!
People make jokes about me,
and I suffer many insults.
51 I am your chosen one,
but your enemies chase
and make fun of me.
52 Our Lord, we praise you
forever. Amen and amen.
