1 A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving kindness of the LORD forever. With my mouth, I will make known your 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。
2 I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”
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 “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
我与我所拣选的人立了约， 向我的仆人大卫起了誓：
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your 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)
5 The heavens will praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
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 For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who amongst the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
在天空谁能比耶和华呢？ 神的众子中，谁能像耶和华呢？
7 a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around 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。
8 LORD, God of Hosts, who is a mighty one, like you? LORD, your faithfulness is around you.
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 You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
你管辖海的狂傲； 波浪翻腾，你就使它平静了。
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty 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。
11 The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

16 In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
他们因你的名终日欢乐， 因你的公义得以高举。
17 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favour, our horn will 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。
18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
我们的盾牌属耶和华； 我们的王属以色列的圣者。
19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy ones, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from 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。
20 I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
我寻得我的仆人大卫， 用我的圣膏膏他。
21 with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will 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。
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
我要使他的左手伸到海上， 右手伸到河上。
26 He will call to me, ‘You are 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。

30 If his children forsake my Torah, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法， 不照我的典章行，
31 if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
背弃我的律例， 不遵守我的诫命，
32 then I will punish their sin 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。
33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

36 His offspring will endure forever, his throne like 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，
37 It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)

38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
但你恼怒你的受膏者， 就丢掉弃绝他。
39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

44 You have ended his splendour, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
你使他的光辉止息， 将他的宝座推倒于地。
45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. (Selah)
你减少他青年的日子， 又使他蒙羞。 (细拉)
46 How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your 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？
47 Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
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？
48 What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
谁能常活免死、 救他的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄呢？ (细拉) (Sheol h7585)
49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
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 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
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 With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
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 Blessed be the LORD forever more. Amen, and Amen.
耶和华是应当称颂的，直到永远。 阿们！阿们！
