Psalm 89
New International Version

Psalm 89[a]

A maskil[b] of Ethan the Ezrahite.

1 I will sing(A) of the Lord’s great love forever;
    with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known(B)
    through all generations.
2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
    that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.(C)
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
    I have sworn to David my servant,
4 ‘I will establish your line forever
    and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[c](D)

5 The heavens(E) praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly(F) of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(G)
7 In the council(H) of the holy ones(I) God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.(J)
8 Who is like you,(K) Lord God Almighty?(L)
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

9 You rule over the surging sea;
    when its waves mount up, you still them.(M)
10 You crushed Rahab(N) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered(O) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(P) and yours also the earth;(Q)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.(R)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor(S) and Hermon(T) sing for joy(U) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(V)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(W)
    love and faithfulness go before you.(X)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk(Y) in the light(Z) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(AA) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(AB)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.[d](AC)
18 Indeed, our shield[e](AD) belongs to the Lord,
    our king(AE) to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David(AF) my servant;(AG)
    with my sacred oil(AH) I have anointed(AI) him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.(AJ)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(AK)
    the wicked will not oppress(AL) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(AM)
    and strike down his adversaries.(AN)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(AO)
    and through my name his horn[f] will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.(AP)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(AQ)
    my God, the Rock(AR) my Savior.’(AS)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(AT)
    the most exalted(AU) of the kings(AV) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.(AW)
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.(AX)

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;(AY)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(AZ)
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.(BA)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;(BB)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”(BC)

38 But you have rejected,(BD) you have spurned,
    you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
    and have defiled his crown in the dust.(BE)
40 You have broken through all his walls(BF)
    and reduced his strongholds(BG) to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered(BH) him;
    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.(BI)
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.(BJ)
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
    and have not supported him in battle.(BK)
44 You have put an end to his splendor
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short(BL) the days of his youth;
    you have covered him with a mantle of shame.(BM)

46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath burn like fire?(BN)
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.(BO)
    For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 Who can live and not see death,
    or who can escape the power of the grave?(BP)
49 Lord, where is your former great love,
    which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has[g] been mocked,(BQ)
    how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,
    with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.(BR)

52 Praise be to the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.(BS)

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。
