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
Complete Jewish Bible
89 (0) A maskil of Eitan the Ezrachi:
2 (1) I will sing about Adonai’s acts of grace forever,
with my mouth proclaim your faithfulness to all generations;
3 (2) because I said, “Grace is built to last forever;
in the heavens themselves you established your faithfulness.”
4 (3) You said, “I made a covenant with the one I chose,
I swore to my servant David,
5 (4) ‘I will establish your dynasty forever,
build up your throne through all generations.’” (Selah)
6 (5) Let the heavens praise your wonders, Adonai,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the angels.
7 (6) For who in the skies can be compared with Adonai?
Which of these gods can rival Adonai,
8 (7) a God dreaded in the great assembly of the holy ones
and feared by all around him?
9 (8) Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot!
Who is as mighty as you, Yah?
Your faithfulness surrounds you.
10 (9) You control the raging of the sea;
when its waves rear up, you calm them.
11 (10) You crushed Rahav like a carcass;
with your strong arm you scattered your foes.
12 (11) The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;
you founded the world and everything in it.
13 (12) You created north and south;
Tavor and Hermon take joy in your name.
14 (13) Your arm is mighty, your hand is strong,
your right hand is lifted high.
15 (14) Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
grace and truth attend you.
16 (15) How happy are the people who know the joyful shout!
They walk in the light of your presence, Adonai.
17 (16) They rejoice in your name all day
and are lifted up by your righteousness,
18 (17) for you yourself are the strength in which they glory.
Our power grows by pleasing you,
19 (18) for our shield comes from Adonai —
our king is from the Holy One of Isra’el.
20 (19) There was a time when you spoke in a vision;
you declared to your loyal [prophets],
“I have given help to a warrior,
I have raised up someone chosen from the people.
21 (20) I have found David my servant
and anointed him with my holy oil.
22 (21) My hand will always be with him,
and my arm will give him strength.
23 (22) No enemy will outwit him,
no wicked man overcome him.
24 (23) I will crush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
25 (24) My faithfulness and grace will be with him;
through my name his power will grow.
26 (25) I will put his hand on the sea
and his right hand on the rivers.
27 (26) He will call to me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
28 (27) I will give him the position of firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
29 (28) I will keep my grace for him forever,
and in my covenant be faithful with him.
30 (29) I will establish his dynasty forever,
and his throne as long as the heavens last.
31 (30) “If his descendants abandon my Torah
and fail to live by my rulings,
32 (31) if they profane my regulations
and don’t obey my mitzvot,
33 (32) I will punish their disobedience with the rod
and their guilt with lashes.
34 (33) But I won’t withdraw my grace from him
or be false to my faithfulness.
35 (34) I will not profane my covenant
or change what my lips have spoken.
36 (35) I have sworn by my holiness once and for all;
I will not lie to David —
37 (36) his dynasty will last forever,
his throne like the sun before me.
38 (37) It will be established forever, like the moon,
which remains a faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
39 (38) But you spurned your anointed one,
rejected and vented your rage on him.
40 (39) You renounced the covenant with your servant
and defiled his crown in the dust.
41 (40) You broke through all his defenses
and left his strongholds in ruins.
42 (41) All who pass by plunder him;
he is an object of scorn to his neighbors.
43 (42) You raised up the right hand of his foes
and made all his enemies rejoice.
44 (43) You drive back his drawn sword
and fail to support him in battle.
45 (44) You brought an end to his splendor
and hurled his throne to the ground.
46 (45) You cut short the days of his youth
and covered him with shame. (Selah)
47 (46) How long, Adonai? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your fury burn like fire?
48 (47) Remember how little time I have!
Was it for no purpose that you created all humanity?
49 (48) Who can live and not see death?
Who can save himself from the power of the grave? (Selah)
50 (49) Where, Adonai, are the acts of grace you once did,
those which, in your faithfulness, you swore to David?
51 (50) Remember, Adonai, the taunts hurled at your servants,
which I carry in my heart [from] so many peoples!
52 (51) Your enemies, Adonai, have flung their taunts,
flung them in the footsteps of your anointed one.
53 (52) Blessed be Adonai forever.
Amen. Amen.
Psalm 89
King James Version
89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
46 How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
