诗篇 89
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
歌颂耶和华因其与大卫立约
89 以斯拉人以探的训诲诗。
1 我要歌唱耶和华的慈爱直到永远，我要用口将你的信实传于万代。
2 因我曾说：“你的慈悲必建立到永远，你的信实必坚立在天上。”
3 “我与我所拣选的人立了约，向我的仆人大卫起了誓：
4 我要建立你的后裔直到永远，要建立你的宝座直到万代。”（细拉）
5 耶和华啊，诸天要称赞你的奇事，在圣者的会中要称赞你的信实！
6 在天空，谁能比耶和华呢？神的众子中，谁能像耶和华呢？
7 他在圣者的会中是大有威严的神，比一切在他四围的更可畏惧。
8 耶和华万军之神啊，哪一个大能者像你耶和华？你的信实是在你的四围。
9 你管辖海的狂傲，波浪翻腾，你就使他平静了。
10 你打碎了拉哈伯，似乎是已杀的人，你用有能的膀臂打散了你的仇敌。
11 天属你，地也属你，世界和其中所充满的都为你所建立。
12 南北为你所创造，他泊和黑门都因你的名欢呼。
13 你有大能的膀臂，你的手有力，你的右手也高举。
14 公义和公平是你宝座的根基，慈爱和诚实行在你前面。
15 知道向你欢呼的，那民是有福的！耶和华啊，他们在你脸上的光里行走。
16 他们因你的名终日欢乐，因你的公义得以高举。
17 你是他们力量的荣耀，因为你喜悦我们，我们的角必被高举。
18 我们的盾牌属耶和华，我们的王属以色列的圣者。
19 当时，你在异象中晓谕你的圣民说：“我已把救助之力加在那有能者的身上，我高举那从民中所拣选的。
20 我寻得我的仆人大卫，用我的圣膏膏他。
21 我的手必使他坚立，我的膀臂也必坚固他。
22 仇敌必不勒索他，凶恶之子也不苦害他。
23 我要在他面前打碎他的敌人，击杀那恨他的人。
24 只是我的信实和我的慈爱要与他同在，因我的名他的角必被高举。
25 我要使他的左手伸到海上，右手伸到河上。
26 他要称呼我说：‘你是我的父，是我的神，是拯救我的磐石。’
27 我也要立他为长子，为世上最高的君王。
28 我要为他存留我的慈爱直到永远，我与他立的约必要坚定。
29 我也要使他的后裔存到永远，使他的宝座如天之久。
30 倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，
31 背弃我的律例，不遵守我的诫命，
32 我就要用杖责罚他们的过犯，用鞭责罚他们的罪孽。
33 只是我必不将我的慈爱全然收回，也必不叫我的信实废弃。
34 我必不背弃我的约，也不改变我口中所出的。
35 我一次指着自己的圣洁起誓，我决不向大卫说谎。
36 他的后裔要存到永远，他的宝座在我面前如日之恒一般。
37 又如月亮永远坚立，如天上确实的见证。”（细拉）
38 但你恼怒你的受膏者，就丢掉弃绝他。
39 你厌恶了与仆人所立的约，将他的冠冕践踏于地。
40 你拆毁了他一切的篱笆，使他的保障变为荒场。
41 凡过路的人都抢夺他，他成为邻邦的羞辱。
42 你高举了他敌人的右手，你叫他一切的仇敌欢喜。
43 你叫他的刀剑卷刃，叫他在争战之中站立不住。
44 你使他的光辉止息，将他的宝座推倒于地。
45 你减少他青年的日子，又使他蒙羞。（细拉）
46 耶和华啊，这要到几时呢？你要将自己隐藏到永远吗？你的愤怒如火焚烧要到几时呢？
47 求你想念，我的时候是何等地短少！你创造世人，要使他们归何等的虚空呢！（细拉）
48 谁能常活免死，救他的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄呢？（细拉）
49 主啊，你从前凭你的信实向大卫立誓要施行的慈爱，在哪里呢？
50 主啊，求你记念仆人们所受的羞辱，记念我怎样将一切强盛民的羞辱存在我怀里。
51 耶和华啊，你的仇敌用这羞辱羞辱了你的仆人，羞辱了你受膏者的脚踪。
52 耶和华是应当称颂的，直到永远！阿门，阿门。
Psalm 89
Living Bible
89 Forever and ever I will sing about the tender kindness of the Lord! Young and old shall hear about your blessings. 2 Your love and kindness are forever; your truth is as enduring as the heavens.
3-4 The Lord God says,[a] “I have made a solemn agreement with my chosen servant David. I have taken an oath to establish his descendants as kings forever on his throne, from now until eternity!”
5 All heaven shall praise your miracles, O Lord; myriads of angels[b] will praise you for your faithfulness. 6 For who in all of heaven can be compared with God? What mightiest angel[c] is anything like him? 7 The highest of angelic powers[d] stand in dread and awe of him. Who is as revered as he by those surrounding him? 8 O Jehovah, Commander of the heavenly armies, where is there any other Mighty One like you? Faithfulness is your very character.
9 You rule the oceans when their waves arise in fearful storms; you speak, and they lie still. 10 You have cut haughty Egypt[e] to pieces. Your enemies are scattered by your awesome power. 11 The heavens are yours, the world, everything—for you created them all. 12 You created north and south! Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon rejoice to be signed by your name as their maker! 13 Strong is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.
14-15 Your throne is founded on two strong pillars—the one is Justice and the other Righteousness. Mercy and Truth walk before you as your attendants. Blessed are those who hear the joyful blast of the trumpet, for they shall walk in the light of your presence. 16 They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation and in your perfect righteousness. 17 You are their strength. What glory! Our power is based on your favor! 18 Yes, our protection is from the Lord himself and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.
19 In a vision you spoke to your prophet[f] and said, “I have chosen a splendid young man from the common people to be the king— 20 he is my servant David! I have anointed him with my holy oil. 21 I will steady him and make him strong. 22 His enemies shall not outwit him, nor shall the wicked overpower him. 23 I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him. 24 I will protect and bless him constantly and surround him with my love; he will be great because of me. 25 He will hold sway from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea. 26 And he will cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and my Rock of Salvation.’
27 “I will treat him as my firstborn son and make him the mightiest king in all the earth. 28 I will love him forever and be kind to him always; my covenant with him will never end. 29 He will always have an heir; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven. 30-32 If his children forsake my laws and don’t obey them, then I will punish them, 33 but I will never completely take away my loving-kindness from them, nor let my promise fail. 34 No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back one word of what I said. 35-36 For I have sworn to David (and a holy God can never lie) that his dynasty will go on forever, and his throne will continue to the end of time.[g] 37 It shall be eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!”
38 Then why cast me off, rejected? Why be so angry with the one you chose as king? 39 Have you renounced your covenant with him? For you have thrown his crown in the dust. 40 You have broken down the walls protecting him and laid in ruins every fort defending him. 41 Everyone who comes along has robbed him while his neighbors mock. 42 You have strengthened his enemies against him and made them rejoice. 43 You have struck down his sword and refused to help him in battle. 44 You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne. 45 You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him.
46 O Jehovah, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself from me forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? 47 Oh, remember how short you have made man’s lifespan. Is it an empty, futile life you give the sons of men? 48 No man can live forever. All will die. Who can rescue his life from the power of the grave?
49 Lord, where is the love you used to have for me? Where is your kindness that you promised to David with a faithful pledge? 50 Lord, see how all the people are despising me. 51 Your enemies joke about me, the one you anointed as their king.
52 And yet—blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and amen!
