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
The Voice
Psalm 89
A contemplative song[a] of Ethan the Ezrahite.
Psalm 89 begins on a note of praise and ends with a lament. The heart of this psalm recalls God’s choice of David as king and God’s covenant with him to establish an eternal dynasty (2 Samuel 7).
1 I will sing of Your unfailing love, Eternal One, forever.
I will speak of Your faithfulness to all generations.
2 I will tell how Your unfailing love will always stand strong;
and how Your faithfulness is established in the heavens above.
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one.
I made My servant, David, this promise:
4 ‘I will establish your dynasty
so that you and your descendants will always be secure.
Your rule will continue for generations to come.’”
[pause][b]
5 Let the heavens join in praising the wonderful works of the Eternal.
The holy ones have gathered, singing of Your faithfulness.
6 For there is no one above who compares to the Eternal,
not one of heaven’s creatures is like Him in the least.
7 In the council of holy ones, God is lifted high and feared;
His presence overwhelms all who are near Him.
8 O Eternal God, Commander of heaven’s armies,
who is mighty like You?
You are completely faithful; that’s why we trust You.
9 The ocean waters are at Your command.
When violent waves rise up, You still them.
10 You defeated Rahab, that ancient monster of chaos,
and left it lifeless.
You routed Your enemies and scattered them by Your great arm of power.
11 Everything in the sky above and the earth below are Yours.
The world and all it contains are Yours, for You created them all.
12 Everything was created by You—the north, the south—
the mountains of Tabor and Hermon echo joyously the song of Your name.
13 Your arm is strong.
Your grip is powerful.
Your right hand is raised up high.
14 Your rule is rooted deeply in justice and righteousness—
unfailing love and truth lead from the way ahead of You.
15 How happy are those who have learned how to praise You;
those who journey through life by the light of Your face.
16 Every hour of the day, they rejoice at the sound of Your name.
They are lifted up and encouraged by Your righteousness.
17 For You are the beauty of their strength.
On account of Your favor, our strength, our horn, is increased.
18 For our shield of protection comes from the Eternal,
and the Holy One of Israel has given us our king.
19 Long ago You spoke through a vision to Your faithful followers, saying,
“I have given help to a warrior;
I have chosen a hero from among My people.
20 I have found David, My servant.
With My holy oil, I have anointed him king.
21 My strong hand will stay with him and sustain him, regardless of trial or foe.
My mighty arm will be his strength and shield.
22 The deceit of his enemies will not outwit him.
The wicked will not defeat him.
23 I will pound his enemies right in front of him.
I will strike down all those who hate him.
24 My faithfulness and unfailing love will never leave him;
through My name, strength and power will be his.
25 I will extend his rule over the oceans,
his right hand will control the rivers.
26 He will cry out to Me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’
27 I will make him My firstborn;
no earthly king shall be greater.
28 My unfailing love will always be with him, protecting him;
My covenant with him will never be broken.
29 I will ensure his family’s future forever;
his dynasty will last as long as the heavens.
30 If his children turn away from Me and forsake My law,
if they refuse to walk according to My judgments,
31 If they disobey My instructions
and ignore My commandments,
32 Then I will use the rod to punish their sins
and stripes to deal with their iniquity.
33 And yet My unfailing love of him will remain steadfast and strong.
I will not be unfaithful to My promise.
34 I will not violate My covenant,
nor will I alter even one word of what My lips have spoken.
35 These words I have pledged in My holiness once and for all,
and I will not lie to David.
36 As long as the sun lights the day before Me, his descendants will continue to rule.
His kingdom will last forever.
37 His dynasty will stand firm for all time like the moon,
the faithful witness that stands watch in the night sky.”
[pause]
38 But what now? You have turned Your back and walked away!
Your full fury burns against Your anointed king.
39 You made a covenant with Your servant, then renounced it,
casting his sacred crown into the dust.
40 You have broken down the walls that protected Your servant;
his defenses are reduced to a pile of rubble.
41 Strangers now plunder all that he has left;
he has become a laughingstock among his neighbors.
42 You have made his adversaries strong.
His enemies celebrate their victory.
43 You have dulled the blade of his sword,
and You have not helped him stand strong in the battle.
44 You have brought his days of splendor to an abrupt end;
You have toppled his throne;
it sits in the dust.
45 You have cut short the days of his youth
and have covered him with shame and despair.
[pause]
46 How long must we endure, O Eternal One?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
How long will Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember my days are numbered.
Have You created the children of Adam to live futile lives?
48 Death waits at the gate; who can escape and live?
Does the grave hold exceptions for any of us?
Who can deliver us from the power of the grave?
[pause]
49 O Lord, where is the unfailing love You showed in times past?
And where is the proof of Your faithfulness to David?
50 Remember how Your servants are ridiculed, O Lord;
how I carry within me the insults of so many peoples.
51 Your enemies are mocking me, O Eternal One,
mocking every step Your anointed one made.
52 Praise the Eternal always. Amen. Amen.
