诗篇89:
1（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。
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。
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，哪一个大能者象你耶和华？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？你的忿怒如火焚烧，要到几时呢？
47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？（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。阿们，阿们。
1I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever!Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.
2Your unfailing love will last forever.Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.
3The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant.I have sworn this oath to him:
4‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever;they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude
5All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord;myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.
6For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord?What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord?
7The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God.He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
8O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies!Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord?You are entirely faithful.
9You rule the oceans.You subdue their storm-tossed waves.
10You crushed the great sea monster.#89:10 Hebrew Rahab, the name of a mythical sea monster that represents chaos in ancient literature.You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;everything in the world is yours—you created it all.
12You created north and south.Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name.
13Powerful is your arm!Strong is your hand!Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.
15Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship,for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
16They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation.They exult in your righteousness.
17You are their glorious strength.It pleases you to make us strong.
18Yes, our protection comes from the Lord,and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.
19Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people.You said, “I have raised up a warrior.I have selected him from the common people to be king.
20I have found my servant David.I have anointed him with my holy oil.
21I will steady him with my hand;with my powerful arm I will make him strong.
22His enemies will not defeat him,nor will the wicked overpower him.
23I will beat down his adversaries before himand destroy those who hate him.
24My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him,and by my authority he will grow in power.
25I will extend his rule over the sea,his dominion over the rivers.
26And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’
27I will make him my firstborn son,the mightiest king on earth.
28I will love him and be kind to him forever;my covenant with him will never end.
29I will preserve an heir for him;his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven.
30But if his descendants forsake my instructionsand fail to obey my regulations,
31if they do not obey my decreesand fail to keep my commands,
32then I will punish their sin with the rod,and their disobedience with beating.
33But I will never stop loving himnor fail to keep my promise to him.
34No, I will not break my covenant;I will not take back a single word I said.
35I have sworn an oath to David,and in my holiness I cannot lie:
36His dynasty will go on forever;his kingdom will endure as the sun.
37It will be as eternal as the moon,my faithful witness in the sky!” Interlude
38But now you have rejected him and cast him off.You are angry with your anointed king.
39You have renounced your covenant with him;you have thrown his crown in the dust.
40You have broken down the walls protecting himand ruined every fort defending him.
41Everyone who comes along has robbed him,and he has become a joke to his neighbors.
42You have strengthened his enemiesand made them all rejoice.
43You have made his sword uselessand refused to help him in battle.
44You have ended his splendorand overturned his throne.
45You have made him old before his timeand publicly disgraced him. Interlude
46O Lord, how long will this go on?Will you hide yourself forever?How long will your anger burn like fire?
47Remember how short my life is,how empty and futile this human existence!
48No one can live forever; all will die.No one can escape the power of the grave.#89:48 Hebrew of Sheol. Interlude
49Lord, where is your unfailing love?You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.
50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced!I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.
51Your enemies have mocked me, O Lord;they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.
52Praise the Lord forever!Amen and amen!
