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。’

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。

Psalm 89-90
Contemporary English Version
(A special psalm by Ethan the Ezrahite.)
The Lord's Agreement with David
1 (A) Our Lord, I will sing
of your love forever.
Everyone yet to be born
will hear me praise
your faithfulness.
2 I will tell them, “God's love
can always be trusted,
and his faithfulness lasts
as long as the heavens.”
3 You said, “David, my servant,
is my chosen one,
and this is the agreement
I made with him:
4 (B) David, one of your descendants
will always be king.”
5 Our Lord, let the heavens
now praise your miracles,
and let all your angels
praise your faithfulness.
6 None who live in the heavens
can compare with you.
7 You are the most fearsome
of all who live in heaven;
all the others fear
and greatly honor you.
8 You are Lord God All-Powerful!
No one is as loving
and faithful as you are.
9 You rule the roaring sea
and calm its waves.
10 You crushed the monster Rahab,[a]
and with your powerful arm
you scattered your enemies.
11 The heavens and the earth
belong to you.
And so does the world
with all its people
because you created them
12 and everything else.[b]
Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon
gladly praise you.
13 You are strong and mighty!
14 Your kingdom is ruled
by justice and fairness
with love and faithfulness
leading the way.
15 Our Lord, you bless those
who join in the festival
and walk in the brightness
of your presence.
16 We are happy all day
because of you,
and your saving power
brings honor to us.
17 Your own glorious power
makes us strong,
and because of your kindness,
our strength increases.
18 Our Lord and our King,
the Holy One of Israel,
you are truly our shield.
19 In a vision, you once said
to your faithful followers:
“I have helped a mighty hero.
I chose him from my people
and made him famous.
20 (C) David, my servant, is the one
I chose to be king,
21 and I will always be there
to help and strengthen him.
22 “No enemy will outsmart David,
and he won't be defeated
by any hateful people.
23 I will strike down and crush
his troublesome enemies.
24 He will always be able
to depend on my love,
and I will make him strong
with my own power.
25 I will let him rule the lands
across the rivers and seas.
26 He will say to me,
‘You are my Father
and my God,
as well as the mighty rock[c]
where I am safe.’
27 (D) “I have chosen David
as my first-born son,
and he will be the ruler
of all kings on earth.
28 My love for him will last,
and my agreement with him
will never be broken.
29 “One of David's descendants
will always be king,
and his family will rule
until the sky disappears.
30 Suppose some of his children
should reject my Law
and refuse my instructions.
31 Or suppose they should disobey
all of my teachings.
32 Then I will correct
and punish them
because of their sins.
33 But I will always love David
and faithfully keep all
of my promises to him.
34 “I won't break my agreement
or go back on my word.
35 I have sworn once and for all
by my own holy name,
and I won't lie to David.
36 His family will always rule.
I will let his kingdom last
as long as the sun 37 and moon
appear in the sky.”
38 You are now angry, Lord,
and you have turned your back
on your chosen king.
39 You broke off your agreement
with your servant, the king,
and you completely destroyed
his kingdom.
40 The walls of his city
have been broken through,
and every fortress
now lies in ruins.
41 All who pass by
take what they want,
and nations everywhere
joke about the king.
42 You made his enemies powerful
and let them celebrate.
43 But you forced him to retreat
because you did not fight
on his side.
44 You took his crown[d]
and threw his throne
in the dirt.
45 You made an old man of him
and put him to shame.
46 How much longer, Lord?
Will you hide forever?
How long will your anger
keep burning like fire?
47 Remember, life is short![e]
Why did you empty our lives
of all meaning?
48 No one can escape the power
of death and the grave.
49 Our Lord, where is the love
you have always shown
and that you promised
so faithfully to David?
50 Remember your servant, Lord!
People make jokes about me,
and I suffer many insults.
51 I am your chosen one,
but your enemies chase
and make fun of me.
52 Our Lord, we praise you
forever. Amen and amen.
BOOK IV
(Psalms 90–106)
(A prayer by Moses, the man of God.)
God Is Eternal
1 Our Lord, in all generations
you have been our home.
2 You have always been God—
long before the birth
of the mountains,
even before you created
the earth and the world.
3 At your command we die
and turn back to dust,
4 (E) but a thousand years
mean nothing to you!
They are merely a day gone by
or a few hours in the night.
5 You bring our lives to an end
just like a dream.
We are merely tender grass
6 that sprouts and grows
in the morning,
but dries up by evening.
7 Your furious anger frightens
and destroys us,
8 and you know all our sins,
even those we do in secret.
9 Your anger is a burden
each day we live,
then life ends like a sigh.
10 (F) We can expect seventy years,
or maybe eighty,
if we are healthy,
but even our best years
bring trouble and sorrow.
Suddenly our time is up,
and we disappear.
11 No one knows the full power
of your furious anger,
but it is as great as the fear
that we owe to you.
12 Teach us to use wisely
all the time we have.
13 Help us, Lord! Don't wait!
Pity your servants.
14 When morning comes,
let your love satisfy
all our needs.
Then we can celebrate
and be glad for what time
we have left.
15 Make us happy for as long
as you caused us trouble
and sorrow.
16 Do wonderful things for us,
your servants,
and show your mighty power
to our children.
17 Our Lord and our God,
treat us with kindness
and let all go well for us.
Please let all go well!

10 你擊碎海怪[a],
以大能的臂膀驅散仇敵。
11 天地都屬於你,
世界和其中的一切都是你造的。
12 你創造了南方和北方,
他泊山和黑門山都向你歡呼。
13 你有大能的臂膀,
雙手充滿力量。
14 你的寶座以公平和正義為根基,
你以慈愛和信實為先鋒。
15 耶和華啊,
懂得向你歡呼的人有福了,
他們走在你的榮光之中。
16 他們因你的名終日歡欣,
因你的公義而雀躍。
17 你是他們的力量和榮耀,
你的恩惠使我們充滿力量。
18 耶和華賜下保護我們的盾牌,
我們的王屬於以色列的聖者。
19 你曾在異象中對你忠心的子民說:
「我已把力量賜給一位勇士,
已擢升我在民中揀選的人。
20 我找到了我的僕人大衛,
用我的聖油膏立他。
21 我的手必扶持他,
我的臂膀必加給他力量。
22 仇敵勝不過他,
惡人不能欺壓他。
23 我要當著他的面擊垮他的敵人,
打倒恨他的人。
24 我要以信實和慈愛待他,
他必因我的名而充滿力量。
25 我要使他左手掌管大海,
右手統治江河。
26 他要向我高呼,
『你是我的父親,我的上帝,
拯救我的磐石。』
27 我要立他為我的長子,
使他做天下至尊的君王。
28 我要永遠用慈愛待他,
我與他立的約永不更改。
29 我要使他的後裔永無窮盡,
讓他的王位與天同存。
30 如果他的後代背棄我的律法,
不遵行我的典章,
31 觸犯我的律例,
不守我的誡命,
32 我就會因他們的罪用杖懲罰他們,
用鞭子責打他們。
33 但我不會收回我的慈愛,
也不會背棄我的信實。
34 我必不毀約,也不食言。
35 因我曾憑自己的聖潔向大衛起誓,
我絕無謊言。
36 他的後裔必永無窮盡,
他的王位必在我面前如日長存,
37 又如天上亙古不變的月亮,
永遠堅立。」(細拉)
38 如今,你對你所膏立的王大發怒氣,丟棄了他。
39 你廢棄與他所立的約,
把他的冠冕扔在塵土中。
40 你攻破了他的城牆,
使他的堅壘淪為廢墟。
41 路人都趁機劫掠他的財物,
鄰居都嘲笑他。
42 你助長了他敵人的勢力,
使敵人洋洋得意。
43 你使他的刀劍失去鋒芒,
你使他敗退沙場。
44 你使他的威榮盡失,
王位傾覆。
45 你使他未老先衰,
滿面羞愧。(細拉)
46 耶和華啊,
你隱藏自己要到何時呢?
要到永遠嗎?
你的怒火要燒到何時呢?
47 願你顧念我的生命何其短暫!
你創造的世人何其虛幻!
48 誰能長生不死?
誰能救自己脫離死亡的權勢呢?(細拉)
49 主啊,你從前憑自己的信實向大衛應許的慈愛在哪裡呢?
50 主啊,求你顧念你僕人——我所受的羞辱,
我心中如何忍受列國的嘲笑。
51 耶和華啊,
你的仇敵嘲笑你所膏立的王,
他們嘲笑他的一舉一動。
52 耶和華永遠當受稱頌。
阿們!阿們!
卷四:詩篇90—106
上帝與世人
上帝的僕人摩西的祈禱。
90 主啊,
你是我們世世代代的居所。
2 群山尚未誕生,
大地和世界還未形成,
從亙古到永遠,你是上帝。
3 你叫人歸回塵土,
說:「世人啊,歸回塵土吧。」
4 在你眼中,
千年如一日,又如夜裡的一更。
5 你像急流一般把世人沖走,
叫他們如夢消逝。
他們像清晨的嫩草,
6 清晨還生機盎然,
傍晚就凋謝枯萎。
7 你的怒氣使我們滅亡,
你的憤怒使我們戰抖。
8 你知道我們的罪惡,
對我們隱秘的罪瞭若指掌。
9 我們活在你的烈怒之下,
一生就像一聲歎息飛逝而去。
10 我們一生七十歲,
強壯的可活八十歲,
但人生最美好的時光也充滿勞苦和愁煩,
生命轉瞬即逝,
我們便如飛而去。
11 誰明白你憤怒的威力?
有誰因為明白你的烈怒而對你心存敬畏呢?
12 求你教導我們明白人生有限,
使我們做有智慧的人。
13 耶和華啊,我還要苦候多久呢?
求你憐憫你的僕人。
14 求你在清晨以慈愛來滿足我們,
使我們一生歡喜歌唱。
15 你使我們先前經歷了多少苦難和不幸的歲月,
求你也賜給我們多少歡樂的歲月。
16 求你讓僕人們看見你的作為,
讓我們的後代看見你的威榮。
17 願主——我們的上帝恩待我們,
使我們所做的亨通,
使我們所做的亨通。

Psalm 89-90
Contemporary English Version
(A special psalm by Ethan the Ezrahite.)
The Lord's Agreement with David
1 (A) Our Lord, I will sing
of your love forever.
Everyone yet to be born
will hear me praise
your faithfulness.
2 I will tell them, “God's love
can always be trusted,
and his faithfulness lasts
as long as the heavens.”
3 You said, “David, my servant,
is my chosen one,
and this is the agreement
I made with him:
4 (B) David, one of your descendants
will always be king.”
5 Our Lord, let the heavens
now praise your miracles,
and let all your angels
praise your faithfulness.
6 None who live in the heavens
can compare with you.
7 You are the most fearsome
of all who live in heaven;
all the others fear
and greatly honor you.
8 You are Lord God All-Powerful!
No one is as loving
and faithful as you are.
9 You rule the roaring sea
and calm its waves.
10 You crushed the monster Rahab,[a]
and with your powerful arm
you scattered your enemies.
11 The heavens and the earth
belong to you.
And so does the world
with all its people
because you created them
12 and everything else.[b]
Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon
gladly praise you.
13 You are strong and mighty!
14 Your kingdom is ruled
by justice and fairness
with love and faithfulness
leading the way.
15 Our Lord, you bless those
who join in the festival
and walk in the brightness
of your presence.
16 We are happy all day
because of you,
and your saving power
brings honor to us.
17 Your own glorious power
makes us strong,
and because of your kindness,
our strength increases.
18 Our Lord and our King,
the Holy One of Israel,
you are truly our shield.
19 In a vision, you once said
to your faithful followers:
“I have helped a mighty hero.
I chose him from my people
and made him famous.
20 (C) David, my servant, is the one
I chose to be king,
21 and I will always be there
to help and strengthen him.
22 “No enemy will outsmart David,
and he won't be defeated
by any hateful people.
23 I will strike down and crush
his troublesome enemies.
24 He will always be able
to depend on my love,
and I will make him strong
with my own power.
25 I will let him rule the lands
across the rivers and seas.
26 He will say to me,
‘You are my Father
and my God,
as well as the mighty rock[c]
where I am safe.’
27 (D) “I have chosen David
as my first-born son,
and he will be the ruler
of all kings on earth.
28 My love for him will last,
and my agreement with him
will never be broken.
29 “One of David's descendants
will always be king,
and his family will rule
until the sky disappears.
30 Suppose some of his children
should reject my Law
and refuse my instructions.
31 Or suppose they should disobey
all of my teachings.
32 Then I will correct
and punish them
because of their sins.
33 But I will always love David
and faithfully keep all
of my promises to him.
34 “I won't break my agreement
or go back on my word.
35 I have sworn once and for all
by my own holy name,
and I won't lie to David.
36 His family will always rule.
I will let his kingdom last
as long as the sun 37 and moon
appear in the sky.”
38 You are now angry, Lord,
and you have turned your back
on your chosen king.
39 You broke off your agreement
with your servant, the king,
and you completely destroyed
his kingdom.
40 The walls of his city
have been broken through,
and every fortress
now lies in ruins.
41 All who pass by
take what they want,
and nations everywhere
joke about the king.
42 You made his enemies powerful
and let them celebrate.
43 But you forced him to retreat
because you did not fight
on his side.
44 You took his crown[d]
and threw his throne
in the dirt.
45 You made an old man of him
and put him to shame.
46 How much longer, Lord?
Will you hide forever?
How long will your anger
keep burning like fire?
47 Remember, life is short![e]
Why did you empty our lives
of all meaning?
48 No one can escape the power
of death and the grave.
49 Our Lord, where is the love
you have always shown
and that you promised
so faithfully to David?
50 Remember your servant, Lord!
People make jokes about me,
and I suffer many insults.
51 I am your chosen one,
but your enemies chase
and make fun of me.
52 Our Lord, we praise you
forever. Amen and amen.
BOOK IV
(Psalms 90–106)
(A prayer by Moses, the man of God.)
God Is Eternal
1 Our Lord, in all generations
you have been our home.
2 You have always been God—
long before the birth
of the mountains,
even before you created
the earth and the world.
3 At your command we die
and turn back to dust,
4 (E) but a thousand years
mean nothing to you!
They are merely a day gone by
or a few hours in the night.
5 You bring our lives to an end
just like a dream.
We are merely tender grass
6 that sprouts and grows
in the morning,
but dries up by evening.
7 Your furious anger frightens
and destroys us,
8 and you know all our sins,
even those we do in secret.
9 Your anger is a burden
each day we live,
then life ends like a sigh.
10 (F) We can expect seventy years,
or maybe eighty,
if we are healthy,
but even our best years
bring trouble and sorrow.
Suddenly our time is up,
and we disappear.
11 No one knows the full power
of your furious anger,
but it is as great as the fear
that we owe to you.
12 Teach us to use wisely
all the time we have.
13 Help us, Lord! Don't wait!
Pity your servants.
14 When morning comes,
let your love satisfy
all our needs.
Then we can celebrate
and be glad for what time
we have left.
15 Make us happy for as long
as you caused us trouble
and sorrow.
16 Do wonderful things for us,
your servants,
and show your mighty power
to our children.
17 Our Lord and our God,
treat us with kindness
and let all go well for us.
Please let all go well!
