歌颂耶和华因其与大卫立约

89 以斯拉以探的训诲诗。

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。
因我曾说:“你的慈悲必建立到永远,你的信实必坚立在天上。”
“我与我所拣选的人立了约,向我的仆人大卫起了誓:
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)
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!
在天空,谁能比耶和华呢?神的众子中,谁能像耶和华呢?
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。
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。
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。

God’s Promise to David

89 I will sing of the loving-kindness of the Lord forever. I will make known with my mouth how faithful You are to all people. For I said, “Loving-kindness will be built up forever. You will make known how faithful You are in the heavens.”

You said, “I have made an agreement with My chosen one. I have promised to David, Your servant. I will make your seed last forever. I will build up your throne for all the children-to-come.”

O Lord, the heavens will praise Your great works and how faithful You are in the meeting of the holy ones. For who in the heavens is like the Lord? Who among the sons of the powerful is like the Lord? God is honored with fear in the meeting of the holy ones. He is honored with fear more than all who are around Him. Lord God of all, powerful Lord, who is like You? All around You we see how faithful You are. You rule over the rising sea. When its waves rise, You quiet them. 10 You have crushed Rahab like one who is killed. You have destroyed those who hate You with Your powerful arm.

11 The heavens are Yours; and the earth is Yours. You have made the world and all that is in it. 12 You have made from nothing the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon call out for joy at Your name. 13 You have a strong arm. Your hand is powerful. Your right hand is honored. 14 Your throne stands on what is right and fair. Loving-kindness and truth go before You. 15 How happy are the people who know the sound of joy! They walk in the light of Your face, O Lord. 16 They are full of joy in Your name all day long. And by being right with You, they are honored. 17 For You are the shining-greatness of their strength. And our horn is lifted high by Your favor. 18 For our safe-covering belongs to the Lord. And our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once You spoke in a special dream to Your faithful ones, saying: “I have given help to a powerful one. I have honored a chosen one from among the people. 20 I have found David, Your servant. I have poured My holy oil upon him. 21 My hand will stay with him. And My arm will give him strength. 22 Those who hate him will not fool him. No sinful man will bring trouble to him. 23 But he will see Me crush those who fight against him. I will kill those who hate him. 24 I will be faithful and My loving-kindness will be with him. And in My name he will become great. 25 I will set his hand on the sea also, and his right hand on the rivers. 26 He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock that saves me.’ 27 I will make him My first-born also, the highest of the kings of the earth. 28 I will keep My loving-kindness for him forever. And My agreement with him will be made strong. 29 I will make his seed last forever. And his throne will last as long as heaven.

30 “If his sons leave My Law and do not do what I say, 31 and if they break My Laws and do not obey My Word, 32 then I will punish their sin with the stick, and their wrong-doing with the whip. 33 But I will not take my loving-kindness from him. I will always be faithful to him. 34 I will not break My agreement, or change what was spoken by My lips. 35 Once I have promised by My holy name, I will not lie to David. 36 His seed will last forever. And his throne will last before Me like the sun. 37 It will last forever like the moon, which may always be seen in the sky.”

38 But You have thrown off and turned away from Your chosen one. You have been full of anger against him. 39 You have hated the agreement with Your servant. You have made his crown dirty in the dust. 40 You have broken down all his walls. You have destroyed his strong places. 41 All who pass on the road rob him. He has become a shame to his neighbors. 42 You have honored the right hand of those who fight against him. You have made all who hate him glad. 43 You have turned away the sharp part of his sword. And You have not made him stand in a fight. 44 You have put an end to what shows of his greatness, and have thrown his throne to the ground. 45 You have made him old before his time, and have covered him with shame.

46 How long, O Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your anger burn like fire? 47 Remember how fast my life is passing. You have made all men for nothing. 48 What man can live and not see death? Can he save himself from the power of the grave?

49 O Lord, where is the loving-kindness You used to have, that You promised in faith to David? 50 O Lord, remember the shame of those who work for You. Remember how I carry near my heart the shame of all the nations. 51 Those who hate You have put us to shame, O Lord. They have put to shame the footsteps of Your chosen one.

52 Praise the Lord forever! Let it be so.
