诗篇 89
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
求 神按他的信實施慈愛
以斯拉人以探的訓誨詩。
89 我要永遠歌唱耶和華的慈愛，
世世代代用口傳揚你的信實。
2 我要說：“你的慈愛必永遠建立；
你的信實，你必堅立在天上。
3 你曾說：‘我和我所揀選的人立了約，
向我的僕人大衛起了誓，說：
4 我必永遠堅立你的後裔，
也必世世代代建立你的王位。’”（細拉）
5 耶和華啊！諸天要稱頌你的奇事；
在聖者的會中，你的信實也要被稱頌。
6 在天上，誰能和耶和華相比呢？
在全能者的眾子中，誰能像耶和華呢？
7 在聖者的議會中， 神是令人驚懼的，
比一切在他周圍的都更為可畏。
8 耶和華萬軍之 神啊！有誰像你？
耶和華啊！你是大能的，你的信實在你的周圍。
9 你管轄海洋的狂濤，
波浪翻騰的時候，你使它們平息。
10 你打碎了拉哈伯，好像已遭刺殺的人；
你用有力的膀臂，趕散了你的仇敵。
11 天是你的，地也是你的；
世界和世界充滿的，都是你建立的。
12 南北都是你創造的，
他泊和黑門都因你的名歡呼。
13 你有大能的膀臂，
你的手強而有力，你的右手高舉。
14 公義和公正是你寶座的基礎，
慈愛和信實行在你前面。
15 曉得向你歡呼的人民是有福的，
耶和華啊！他們在你的臉光中行走。
16 他們因你的名終日歡呼，
因你的公義被高舉。
17 因為你是他們的榮耀和力量；
因你的恩惠，我們的角得以高舉。
18 因為我們的盾牌是耶和華，
我們的君王是以色列的聖者。
19 那時，你在異象中告訴你的聖民說：
“我幫助了一位勇士，
我從民中興起了一位青年（“我從民中興起了一位青年”或譯：“我興起那從民中所揀選的”）。
20 我找到我的僕人大衛，
用我的聖膏油膏他。
21 我的手必堅立他，
我的膀臂必堅固他。
22 仇敵必不能欺騙他，
兇惡的人必不能壓迫他。
23 我要在他的面前擊碎他的敵人，
擊殺那些恨他的人。
24 我的信實和慈愛必與他同在，
他的角必因我的名被高舉。
25 我必使他的左手伸到大海，
使他的右手伸到大河。
26 他必呼叫我，說：‘你是我的父、我的 神、拯救我的磐石。’
27 我也要立他為長子，
為世上最高的君王。
28 我要永遠保持我對他的慈愛，
我和他所立的約必堅立。
29 我要使他的後裔存到永遠，
使他的王位好像天一樣長久。
30 如果他的子孫離棄我的律法，
不照著我的典章而行；
31 如果他們違背我的律例，
不遵守我的誡命，
32 我就用杖責罰他們的過犯，
用鞭責罰他們的罪孽。
33 但我必不把我的慈愛從他身上收回，
也必不背棄我的信實。
34 我必不違背我的約，
也不改變我口中所出的話。
35 我斷然指著自己的聖潔起誓，說：
‘我決不向大衛說謊。
36 他的後裔必存到永遠，
他的王位在我面前必像太陽長存，
37 又像月亮永遠堅立，
作天上確實的見證。’”（細拉）
38 你卻惱怒你的受膏者，
丟掉棄絕他。
39 你捨棄了和你僕人所立的約，
把他的冠冕玷污在地。
40 你拆毀了他的一切城牆，
使他的堡壘成廢堆。
41 過路的都搶掠他，
他成了鄰國的人羞辱的對象。
42 你高舉了他敵人的右手，
使他所有的仇敵歡喜。
43 你使他的刀劍捲刃，
使他在戰場上站立不住。
44 你使他的光輝消失，
把他的王位推翻（“推翻”原文作“推倒在地”）。
45 你減少了他青春的日子，
使他披上恥辱。（細拉）
46 耶和華啊！這要到幾時呢？
你要永遠隱藏自己嗎？
你的烈怒像火一般焚燒，要到幾時呢？
47 求你記念我的一生多麼短暫，
你創造的世人是多麼虛幻呢！
48 有哪一個人能長活不死，
能救自己的性命脫離陰間的權勢呢？（細拉）
49 主啊！你從前指著你的信實向大衛起誓要施的慈愛，
現今在哪裡呢？
50 主啊！求你記念你僕人所受的羞辱，
記念我心裡（“我心裡”原文作“我在我的懷裡”）承擔著萬民的羞辱。
51 耶和華啊！你的仇敵用這羞辱羞辱了你的僕人，
羞辱了你受膏者的腳蹤。
52 耶和華是應當稱頌的，直到永遠！
阿們，阿們！
Psalm 89
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Lord’s Covenant with David, and Israel’s Afflictions.
A [a]Maskil of [b]Ethan [c]the Ezrahite.
89 I will (A)sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
To all generations I will (B)make known Your (C)faithfulness with my mouth.
2 For I have said, “(D)Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your (E)faithfulness.”
3 “I have made a covenant with (F)My chosen;
I have (G)sworn to David My servant,
4 I will establish your (H)seed forever
And build up your (I)throne to all generations.” [d]Selah.
5 The (J)heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also (K)in the assembly of the (L)holy ones.
6 For (M)who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the [e](N)sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
7 A God (O)greatly feared in the council of the (P)holy ones,
And (Q)awesome above all those who are around Him?
8 O Lord God of hosts, (R)who is like You, O mighty [f]Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
9 You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You (S)still them.
10 You Yourself crushed [g](T)Rahab like one who is slain;
You (U)scattered Your enemies with [h]Your mighty arm.
11 The (V)heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The (W)world and [i]all it contains, You have founded them.
12 The (X)north and the south, You have created them;
(Y)Tabor and (Z)Hermon (AA)shout for joy at Your name.
13 You have [j]a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your (AB)right hand is exalted.
14 (AC)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
(AD)Lovingkindness and [k]truth go before You.
15 How blessed are the people who know the [l](AE)joyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the (AF)light of Your countenance.
16 In (AG)Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of (AH)their strength,
And by Your favor [m]our (AI)horn is exalted.
18 For our (AJ)shield belongs to the Lord,
[n]And our king to the (AK)Holy One of Israel.
19 [o]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly [p]ones,
And said, “I have [q]given help to one who is (AL)mighty;
I have exalted one (AM)chosen from the people.
20 “I have (AN)found David My servant;
With My holy (AO)oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom (AP)My hand will be established;
My arm also will (AQ)strengthen him.
22 “The enemy will not [r]deceive him,
Nor the [s](AR)son of wickedness afflict him.
23 “But I shall (AS)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
24 “My (AT)faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him,
And in My name his (AU)horn will be exalted.
25 “I shall also set his hand (AV)on the sea
And his right hand on the rivers.
26 “He will cry to Me, ‘You are (AW)my Father,
My God, and the (AX)rock of my salvation.’
27 “I also shall make him My (AY)firstborn,
The (AZ)highest of the kings of the earth.
28 “My (BA)lovingkindness I will keep for him forever,
And My (BB)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
29 “So I will establish his [t](BC)descendants forever
And his (BD)throne (BE)as the days of heaven.
30 “If his sons (BF)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [u]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the (BG)rod
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 “But I will not break off (BH)My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 “My (BI)covenant I will not [v]violate,
Nor will I (BJ)alter [w]the utterance of My lips.
35 “[x]Once I have (BK)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 “His [y](BL)descendants shall endure forever
And his (BM)throne (BN)as the sun before Me.
37 “It shall be established forever (BO)like the moon,
And the (BP)witness in the sky is faithful.” [z]Selah.
38 But You have (BQ)cast off and (BR)rejected,
You have been full of wrath [aa]against Your (BS)anointed.
39 You have (BT)spurned the covenant of Your servant;
You have (BU)profaned (BV)his crown [ab]in the dust.
40 You have (BW)broken down all his walls;
You have (BX)brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 (BY)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (BZ)reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have (CA)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (CB)made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have (CC)not made him stand in battle.
44 You have made his [ac](CD)splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (CE)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (CF)covered him with shame. Selah.
46 (CG)How long, O Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (CH)wrath burn like fire?
47 (CI)Remember [ad]what my span of life is;
For what (CJ)vanity [ae]You have created all the sons of men!
48 What man can live and not (CK)see death?
Can he (CL)deliver his soul from the [af]power of [ag]Sheol? Selah.
49 Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You (CM)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, O Lord, the (CN)reproach of Your servants;
[ah]How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 With which (CO)Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of (CP)Your anointed.
52 (CQ)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.

New King James Version
Remembering the Covenant with David, and Sorrow for Lost Blessings
A [a]Contemplation of (A)Ethan the Ezrahite.
89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;
With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever;
(B)Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”
3 “I(C) have made a covenant with My chosen,
I have (D)sworn to My servant David:
4 ‘Your seed I will establish forever,
And build up your throne (E)to all generations.’ ” Selah
5 And (F)the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
6 (G)For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?
7 (H)God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.
8 O Lord God of hosts,
Who is mighty like You, O Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
9 (I)You rule the raging of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.
10 (J)You have broken [b]Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain;
You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 (K)The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.
12 The north and the south, You have created them;
(L)Tabor and (M)Hermon rejoice in Your name.
13 You have a mighty arm;
Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
15 Blessed are the people who know the (N)joyful sound!
They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.
16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our [c]horn is (O)exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your [d]holy one,
And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one (P)chosen from the people.
20 (Q)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 (R)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [e]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.
24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25 Also I will (S)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are (T)my Father,
My God, and (U)the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him (V)My firstborn,
(W)The highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (X)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,
(Y)And his throne (Z)as the days of heaven.
30 “If(AA) his sons (AB)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [f]break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 (AC)Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [g]utterly take from him,
Nor [h]allow My faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor (AD)alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35 Once I have sworn (AE)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
36 (AF)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne (AG)as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38 But You have (AH)cast off and (AI)abhorred,[i]
You have been furious with Your [j]anointed.
39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;
(AJ)You have [k]profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his [l]strongholds to ruin.
41 All who pass by the way (AK)plunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.
44 You have made his [m]glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth You have shortened;
You have covered him with shame. Selah
46 How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time (AL)is;
For what (AM)futility have You created all the children of men?
48 What man can live and not [n]see (AN)death?
Can he deliver his life from the power of [o]the grave? Selah
49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
Which You (AO)swore to David (AP)in Your truth?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—
(AQ)How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 (AR)With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your [p]anointed.
52 (AS)Blessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen.
