Psalms 89

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

（以斯拉人以探的训诲诗。）我要歌唱耶和华的慈爱，直到永远；我要用口将你的信实传与万代。

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

因我曾说：你的慈悲必建立到永远；你的信实必坚立在天上。

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

我与我所拣选的人立了约，向我的仆人大卫起了誓：

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

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）

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

耶和华啊，诸天要称讚你的奇事；在圣者的会中，要称讚你的信实。

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

在天空谁能比耶和华呢？　神的众子中，谁能像耶和华呢？

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

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。

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

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。

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

你管辖海的狂傲；波浪翻腾，你就使它平静了。

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

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。

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

天属你，地也属你；世界和其中所充满的都为你所建立。

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

南北为你所创造；他泊和黑门都因你的名欢呼。

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

你有大能的膀臂；你的手有力，你的右手也高举。

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

公义和公平是你宝座的根基；慈爱和诚实行在你前面。

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

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。

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

他们因你的名终日欢乐，因你的公义得以高举。

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

你是他们力量的荣耀；因为你喜悦我们，我们的角必被高举。

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

我们的盾牌属耶和华；我们的王属以色列的圣者。

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

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。

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

我寻得我的仆人大卫，用我的圣膏膏他。

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

我的手必使他坚立；我的膀臂也必坚固他。

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

仇敌必不勒索他；凶恶之子也不苦害他。

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

我要在他面前打碎他的敌人，击杀那恨他的人。

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

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。

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

我要使他的左手伸到海上，右手伸到河上。

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

他要称呼我说：你是我的父，是我的　神，是拯救我的磐石。

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

我也要立他为长子，为世上最高的君王。

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

我要为他存留我的慈爱，直到永远；我与他立的约必要坚定。

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

我也要使他的后裔存到永远，使他的宝座如天之久。

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行，

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

背弃我的律例，不遵守我的诫命，

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

我就要用杖责罚他们的过犯，用鞭责罚他们的罪孽。

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

只是我必不将我的慈爱全然收回，也必不叫我的信实废弃。

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

我必不背弃我的约，也不改变我口中所出的。

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

我一次指著自己的圣洁起誓：我决不向大卫说谎！

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

他的后裔要存到永远；他的宝座在我面前如日之恒一般，

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

又如月亮永远坚立，如天上确实的见证。（细拉）

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

但你恼怒你的受膏者，就丢掉弃绝他。

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

你厌恶了与仆人所立的约，将他的冠冕践踏于地。

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

你拆毁了他一切的篱笆，使他的保障变为荒场。

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

凡过路的人都抢夺他；他成为邻邦的羞辱。

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

你高举了他敌人的右手；你叫他一切的仇敌欢喜。

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

你叫他的刀剑捲刃，叫他在争战之中站立不住。

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

你使他的光辉止息，将他的宝座推倒于地。

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

你减少他青年的日子，又使他蒙羞。（细拉）

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

耶和华啊，这要到几时呢？你要将自己隐藏到永远吗？你的忿怒如火焚烧要到几时呢？

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

求你想念我的时候是何等的短少；你创造世人，要使他们归何等的虚空呢？

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

谁能常活免死、救他的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄呢？（细拉）

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

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？

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

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。

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

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。

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

耶和华是应当称颂的，直到永远。阿们！阿们！
