1 Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.
2 \89:1\My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.
3 \89:2\For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.
4 \89:3\I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
5 \89:4\I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)
6 \89:5\In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.
7 \89:6\For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
8 \89:7\God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.
9 \89:8\O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.
10 \89:9\You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.
11 \89:10\Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.
12 \89:11\Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.
13 \89:12\You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.
14 \89:13\Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.
15 \89:14\The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
16 \89:15\Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.
17 \89:16\In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.
18 \89:17\For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.
19 \89:18\For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
20 \89:19\Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
21 \89:20\I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
22 \89:21\My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
23 \89:22\The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
24 \89:23\I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
25 \89:24\But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
26 \89:25\I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
27 \89:26\He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
28 \89:27\And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
29 \89:28\I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
30 \89:29\His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
31 \89:30\If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
32 \89:31\If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
33 \89:32\Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
34 \89:33\But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
35 \89:34\I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
36 \89:35\I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
37 \89:36\His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
38 \89:37\It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)
39 \89:38\But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
40 \89:39\You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
41 \89:40\All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
42 \89:41\All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
43 \89:42\You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.
44 \89:43\His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
45 \89:44\You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
46 \89:45\You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)
47 \89:46\How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
48 \89:47\See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
49 \89:48\What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)
50 \89:49\Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
51 \89:50\Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;
52 \89:51\The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
53 \89:52\Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
1 我要永远歌唱耶和华的慈爱， 世世代代用口传扬你的信实。
2 我要说： "你的慈爱必永远建立； 你的信实， 你必坚立在天上。
3 你曾说： ‘我和我所拣选的人立了约， 向我的仆人大卫起了誓， 说：
4 我必永远坚立你的后裔， 也必世世代代建立你的王位。’"（细拉）
5 耶和华啊！ 诸天要称颂你的奇事； 在圣者的会中， 你的信实也要被称颂。
6 在天上， 谁能和耶和华相比呢？在全能者的众子中， 谁能像耶和华呢？
7 在圣者的议会中， 神是令人惊惧的， 比一切在他周围的都更为可畏。
8 耶和华万军之 神啊！ 有谁像你？耶和华啊！ 你是大能的， 你的信实在你的周围。
9 你管辖海洋的狂涛， 波浪翻腾的时候， 你使它们平息。
10 你打碎了拉哈伯， 好像已遭刺杀的人； 你用有力的膀臂， 赶散了你的仇敌。
11 天是你的， 地也是你的； 世界和世界充满的， 都是你建立的。
12 南北都是你创造的， 他泊和黑门都因你的名欢呼。
13 你有大能的膀臂， 你的手强而有力， 你的右手高举。
14 公义和公正是你宝座的基础， 慈爱和信实行在你前面。
15 晓得向你欢呼的人民是有福的， 耶和华啊！ 他们在你的脸光中行走。
16 他们因你的名终日欢呼， 因你的公义被高举。
17 因为你是他们的荣耀和力量； 因你的恩惠， 我们的角得以高举。
18 因为我们的盾牌是耶和华， 我们的君王是以色列的圣者。
19 那时， 你在异象中告诉你的圣民说： "我帮助了一位勇士， 我从民中兴起了一位青年（"我从民中兴起了一位青年"或译： "我兴起那从民中所拣选的"）。
20 我找到我的仆人大卫， 用我的圣膏油膏他。
21 我的手必坚立他， 我的膀臂必坚固他。
22 仇敌必不能欺骗他， 凶恶的人必不能压迫他。
23 我要在他的面前击碎他的敌人， 击杀那些恨他的人。
24 我的信实和慈爱必与他同在， 他的角必因我的名被高举。
25 我必使他的左手伸到大海， 使他的右手伸到大河。
26 他必呼叫我， 说： ‘你是我的父、我的 神、拯救我的磐石。’
27 我也要立他为长子， 为世上最高的君王。
28 我要永远保持我对他的慈爱， 我和他所立的约必坚立。
29 我要使他的后裔存到永远， 使他的王位好像天一样长久。
30 如果他的子孙离弃我的律法， 不照着我的典章而行；
31 如果他们违背我的律例， 不遵守我的诫命，
32 我就用杖责罚他们的过犯， 用鞭责罚他们的罪孽。
33 但我必不把我的慈爱从他身上收回， 也必不背弃我的信实。
34 我必不违背我的约， 也不改变我口中所出的话。
35 我断然指着自己的圣洁起誓， 说： ‘我决不向大卫说谎。
36 他的后裔必存到永远， 他的王位在我面前必像太阳长存，
37 又像月亮永远坚立， 作天上确实的见证。’"（细拉）
38 你却恼怒你的受膏者， 丢掉弃绝他。
39 你舍弃了和你仆人所立的约， 把他的冠冕玷污在地。
40 你拆毁了他的一切城墙， 使他的堡垒成废堆。
41 过路的都抢掠他， 他成了邻国的人羞辱的对象。
42 你高举了他敌人的右手， 使他所有的仇敌欢喜。
43 你使他的刀剑卷刃， 使他在战场上站立不住。
44 你使他的光辉消失， 把他的王位推翻（"推翻"原文作"推倒在地"）。
45 你减少了他青春的日子， 使他披上耻辱。（细拉）
46 耶和华啊！ 这要到几时呢？你要永远隐藏自己吗？你的烈怒像火一般焚烧， 要到几时呢？
47 求你记念我的一生多么短暂， 你创造的世人是多么虚幻呢！
48 有哪一个人能长活不死， 能救自己的性命脱离阴间的权势呢？（细拉）
49 主啊！ 你从前指着你的信实向大卫起誓要施的慈爱， 现今在哪里呢？
50 主啊！ 求你记念你仆人所受的羞辱， 记念我心里（"我心里"原文作"我在我的怀里"）承担着万民的羞辱。
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！
