詩篇 89
1 則辣黑人厄堂的訓誨詩。 我要永遠歌頌上主的恩寵，要世世代代親口稱揚您的忠誠。
A maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of Yahweh's acts of covenant faithfulness forever. I will proclaim your truthfulness to future generations.
2 您原說過：我的恩寵已永遠奠定！就如您在天上確定您的忠誠。
For I have said, “Covenant faithfulness has been established forever; your truthfulness you have established in the heavens.”
3 我同我揀選的人起契約，向我的僕人達味起了盟誓，
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have made an oath to David my servant.
4 我直到永遠鞏您的後裔，世世代代將您的寶座建立。
I will establish your descendants forever, and I will establish your throne through all generations.” (Selah)
5 上主，願蒼天稱讚您的奇事，聖者集會讚美您的忠義！
The heavens praise your wonders, Yahweh; your truthfulness is praised in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 在雲彩之中，誰可與上主相比，天主的眾子，誰能同上主相似。
For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the gods is like Yahweh?
7 在聖者會中，天主令人驚恐，祂偉大可怕，超過祂四週的神聖。
He is a God who is greatly honored in the council of the holy ones and is awesome among all who surround him.
8 上主萬軍的天主，有誰能夠相似您？上主，您是全能的，您的忠信環繞您。
Yahweh God of hosts, who is strong like you, Yahweh? Your truthfulness surrounds you.
9 您統治洶湧的海嘯，您平抑翻騰的波濤。
You rule the raging sea; when the waves surge, you calm them.
10 您曾踐踏辣哈布，喜歡踐踏屍死體，您以矢能的手臂驅散您的仇敵。
You crushed Rahab as one who is killed. You scattered your enemies with your strong arm.
11 高天是屬您的，厚土也是屬您的，寰宇及其中的一切是您奠定的。
The heavens belong to you, and the earth also. You made the world and all it contains.
12 您創造了南方，創造了北方，大博爾，赫爾孟因您而歡暢。
You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
13 您的臂膀孔武有力，您雙手堅強，右手舉起。
You have a mighty arm and a strong hand, and your right hand is high.
14 正義和公理是您寶座的基礎，仁愛和忠信在您的前面開路。
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness come before you.
15 會歡樂歌唱的百姓的確有福；上主，他們在您慈顏光中行走，
Blessed are the people who worship you! Yahweh, they walk in the light of your face.
16 他們常常因您的名而歡躍，您的正義使他們引以自豪。
They rejoice in your name all day long, and in your righteousness they exalt you.
17 因為您給他們權勢的光明，因您慈惠，我們的威能上升。
You are their majestic strength, and by your favor we are victorious.
18 因為我們在上主內有庇護，以色列的聖者是我們的君主。
For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.
19 您曾在異像中向您的聖者說：我已姶那有能者加冕，由百姓中將我所選者舉薦。
Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones; you said, “I have set a crown on a mighty one.” I have raised up one chosen from among the people.
20 我揀選達味做我的忠僕，也給他傅抹了聖油。
I have chosen David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.
21 我的雙手必要扶持祂，我的臂膀必常堅固祂，
My hand will support him; my arm will strengthen him.
22 仇敵不能欺騙他，惡人不能壓伏他，
No enemy will deceive him; no son of wickedness will oppress him.
23 我要在他前擊破他的仇敵，凡仇恨他的人，我必要打擊。
I will crush his enemies before him; I will kill those who hate him.
24 我的忠信與仁慈與他共處，他的頭角因我的名而得高舉。
My truth and my covenant faithfulness will be with him; by my name he will be victorious.
25 我使他的手伸到海上，使他的右手伸到河上。
I will place his hand over the sea and his right hand over the rivers.
26 他要稱我說：『您是我的大父，是我救恩的磐石，是我的天主。』
He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'
27 我也要立祂為首生子，祂高出世上所有的君主。
I also will place him as my firstborn son, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28 我同祂永遠保持我的慈愛，我同祂立火約，永不得破壞，
I will extend my covenant faithfulness to him forever; and my covenant with him will be secure.
29 使祂的後裔，永世不替，使祂的寶位，與天日齊。
I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne as enduring as the skies above.
30 若他的子孫放棄我的法令，不照我的命令行，
If his children forsake my law and do not walk in my regulations,
31 若是他們違反了我的章程，不遵守我的誡命，
if they break my rules and do not keep my commands,
32 我必要用棍杖懲罰他們的罪過，也必用鞭子責打他們的邪惡。
then will I punish their rebellion with a rod and their iniquity with blows.
33 但我將我的慈愛撤退，我也不使我的忠誠作廢，
But I will not remove my steadfast love from him or be unfaithful to my promise.
34 也不放棄我的盟約，也不改變我的許諾。
I will not break my covenant or change the words of my lips.
35 我一次指我的聖善起誓，我也絕對不會欺騙達味。
Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness— I will not lie to David:
36 他的後裔必定要永遠興隆，他的御座在我前，如日永恆；
his descendants will continue forever and his throne as long as the sun before me.
37 又如月亮循環不停，做空中忠實的見證。
It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
38 但是您已經拒絕和擯棄，對您的受傅者憤怒大起。
But you have refused and rejected; you have been angry with your anointed king.
39 將您僕人的盟約撕毀，將他的冠冕拋撕於地。
You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have desecrated his crown on the ground.
40 蕩平了他所有的城垣，使他的堡壘化為荒原。
You have broken down all his walls. You have ruined his strongholds.
41 凡過路的人都劫掠他，他為鄰人所嘲笑辱罵。
All who pass by have robbed him. He has become an object of disgust to his neighbors.
42 您高舉了他仇人右手，使他的敵人滿心歡愉。
You have raised the right hand of his enemies; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 使他的刀刃遲鈍不利，上陣時使他不能站立。
You turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him stand when in battle.
44 使他的光輝消失滅跡，把他的寶座推翻於地。
You have brought his splendor to an end; you have brought down his throne to the ground.
45 縮短他青春的時日，要使他去蒙受羞恥。
You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 上主，您不斷地隱避；要到何時，上主您的怒火如焚，何時才熄？
How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself, forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?
47 求您懷念我的性命何其短暫，您所創造的世人是多麼虛幻！
Oh, think about how short my time is, and for what uselessness you have created all the children of mankind!
Who can live and not die, or rescue his own life from the hand of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 吾主，您從前憑著您的忠義，向達味許的仁愛，今在哪裏？
Lord, where are your former acts of covenant faithfulness that you swore to David in your truthfulness?
50 上主，求您記念您僕人所受的羞辱。在我人中所承擔異民的一切憎惡：
Call to mind, Lord, the mocking directed against your servants and how I bear in my heart so many insults from the nations.
51 就是您的那些反對者所加加給您的羞辱，上主，他們也淩辱您的受傅者的腳步。
Your enemies hurl insults, Yahweh; they mock the footsteps of your anointed one.
52 願上主永遠受讚美！阿們，阿們！
Blessed be Yahweh forever. Amen and Amen.
