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
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 89
A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1 I will sing of the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.
2 For I have said, Mercy and loving-kindness shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness will You establish in the very heavens [unchangeable and perpetual].
3 [You have said] I have made a [a]covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant,
4 Your Seed I will establish forever, and I will build up your throne for all generations. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!(A)
5 Let heaven (the angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones (the holy angels).
6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the mighty [heavenly beings] can be likened to the Lord,
7 A God greatly feared and revered in the council of the holy (angelic) ones, and to be feared and worshipfully revered above all those who are round about Him?
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a mighty one like unto You, O Lord? And Your faithfulness is round about You [an essential part of You at all times].
9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves arise, You still them.
10 You have broken Rahab (Egypt) in pieces; with Your mighty arm You have scattered Your enemies.
11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; the world and all that is in it, You have founded them.
12 The north and the south, You have created them; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon joyously praise Your name.
13 You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, Your right hand is soaring high.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.
15 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the people who know the joyful sound [who understand and appreciate the spiritual blessings symbolized by the feasts]; they walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!
16 In Your name they rejoice all the day, and in Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], and by Your favor our horn is exalted and we walk with uplifted faces!
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Once You spoke in a vision to Your devoted ones and said, I have endowed one who is mighty [a hero, giving him the power to help—to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from among the people.
20 I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him,(B)
21 With whom My hand shall be established and ever abide; My arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact from him or do him violence or outwit him, nor shall the wicked afflict and humble him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face and smite those who hate him.
24 My faithfulness and My mercy and loving-kindness shall be with him, and in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].
25 I will set his hand in control also on the [Mediterranean] Sea, and his right hand on the rivers [Euphrates with its tributaries].
26 He shall cry to Me, You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!
27 Also I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.(C)
28 My mercy and loving-kindness will I keep for him forevermore, and My covenant shall stand fast and be faithful with him.
29 His [b]Offspring also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.(D)
30 If his children forsake My law and walk not in My ordinances,
31 If they break or profane My statutes and keep not My commandments,
32 Then will I punish their transgression with the rod [of chastisement], and their iniquity with stripes.(E)
33 Nevertheless, My loving-kindness will I not break off from him, nor allow My faithfulness to fail [to lie and be false to him].
34 My covenant will I not break or profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.
35 Once [for all] have I sworn by My holiness, which cannot be violated; I will not lie to David:
36 His Offspring shall endure forever, and his throne [shall continue] as the sun before Me.(F)
37 It shall be established forever as the moon, the faithful witness in the heavens. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!(G)
38 But [in apparent contradiction to all this] You [even You the faithful Lord] have cast off and rejected; You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
39 You have despised and loathed and renounced the covenant with Your servant; You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 You have broken down all his hedges and his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 All who pass along the road spoil and rob him; he has become the scorn and reproach of his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 Moreover, You have turned back the edge of his sword and have not made him to stand in battle.
44 You have made his glory and splendor to cease and have hurled to the ground his throne.
45 The days of his youth have You shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
46 How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? How long shall Your wrath burn like fire?
47 O [earnestly] remember how short my time is and what a mere fleeting life mine is. For what emptiness, falsity, futility, and frailty You have created all men!
48 What man can live and shall not see death, or can deliver himself from the [powerful] hand of Sheol (the place of the dead)? Selah [pause, and calmly consider that]!
49 Lord, where are Your former loving-kindnesses [shown in the reigns of David and Solomon], which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, and earnestly imprint [on Your heart] the reproach of Your servants, scorned and insulted, how I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many and mighty peoples,
51 With which Your enemies have taunted, O Lord, with which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed.
52 Blessed be the Lord forevermore! Amen and Amen.

- Psalm 89:3 “This covenant most incontestably had Jesus Christ in view. This is the Seed or Posterity Who would sit on the throne and reign forever and ever. David and his family have long since become extinct; none of his race has sat on the Jewish throne for more than two thousand years. But the Christ... will reign until all His enemies are put under His feet (Ps. 110:1; I Cor. 15:25, 27; Eph. 1:22); and to this the psalmist says, Selah.” (One of many similar 19th-century comments.)
