Psalms 1 1 A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. 则辣黑人厄堂的训诲诗。 2 The promises of the LORD I will sing forever, proclaim your loyalty through all ages. 我要永永远远歌咏上主的恩宠，要世世代代亲口称扬你的忠诚。 3 2 For you said, ＂My love is established forever; my loyalty will stand as long as the heavens. 你原说过：＂我的恩宠已永远奠定！＂就如你在天上确定了你的忠诚。 4 I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: ＂我同我拣选的人立了契约，向我的仆人达味起了盟誓， 5 I will make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages.＂ Selah 我直到永远巩固你的后裔，世世代代将你的宝座建立。＂ 6 The heavens praise your marvels, LORD, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones. 上主，愿苍天称赞你的奇事，圣者集会赞美你的忠义！ 7 3 Who in the skies ranks with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the gods? 在云彩之中，谁可与上主相比，天主的众子，谁能同上主相似。 在圣者的集会中，天主令人惊恐，他伟大可怕，超过他四周的神圣。 9 LORD, God of hosts, who is like you? Mighty LORD, your loyalty is always present. 上主万军的天主，有谁能够相似你？上主，你是全能的，你的忠信环绕你。 10 You rule the raging sea; you still its swelling waves. 你统治汹涌的海啸，你平抑翻腾的波涛。 11 4 You crushed Rahab with a mortal blow; your strong arm scattered your foes. 你曾践踏辣哈布，好象践踏尸体，你以大能的手臂驱散你的仇敌。 12 Yours are the heavens, yours the earth; you founded the world and everything in it. 高天是属你的，厚土也是属你的，寰宇及其中的一切是你奠定的。 13 5 Zaphon and Amanus you created; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. 你创造了南方，创造了北方，大博尔，赫尔孟因你而欢畅。 14 Mighty your arm, strong your hand, your right hand is ever exalted. 你的臂膀，孔武有力，双手坚强，右手举起。 15 Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne; love and loyalty march before you. 正义和公理是作你宝座的基础，仁爱和忠信走在你前面开路。 16 Happy the people who know you, LORD, who walk in the radiance of your face. 他们常常因你的名而欢跃，你的正义使他们引以自豪； 18 6 You are their majestic strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. 因为你的他们权势的光明，因你慈惠，我们的威能上升。 19 Truly the LORD is our shield, the Holy One of Israel, our king! 因为在上主内有我们的庇护，以色列的圣者是我们的君主。 20 Once you spoke in vision; to your faithful ones you said: ＂I have set a leader over the warriors; I have raised up a hero from the army. 21 I have chosen David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him. 22 My hand will be with him; my arm will make him strong. 23 No enemy shall outwit him, nor shall the wicked defeat him. 24 I will crush his foes before him, strike down those who hate him. 25 My loyalty and love will be with him; through my name his horn will be exalted. 26 7 I will set his hand upon the sea, his right hand upon the rivers. 27 He shall cry to me,‘You are my father, my God, the Rock that brings me victory!' 28 8 I myself make him firstborn, Most High over the kings of the earth. 29 Forever I will maintain my love for him; my covenant with him stands firm. 我同他永远保持我的慈爱，我同他立的约，永不得破坏， 30 I will establish his dynasty forever, his throne as the days of the heavens. 31 If his descendants forsake my law, do not follow my decrees, 32 If they fail to observe my statutes, do not keep my commandments, 33 I will punish their crime with a rod and their guilt with lashes. 34 But I will not take my love from him, nor will I betray my bond of loyalty. 35 I will not violate my covenant; the promise of my lips I will not alter. 36 By my holiness I swore once for all: I will never be false to David. 37 9 His dynasty will continue forever, his throne, like the sun before me. 38 Like the moon it will stand eternal, forever firm like the sky!＂ Selah 39 But now you have rejected and spurned, been enraged at your anointed. 但是你已经拒绝和摈弃，对你的受傅者愤怒大起； 40 You renounced the covenant with your servant, defiled his crown in the dust. 将你仆人的盟约撕毁，将他的冠冕抛掷于地。 41 You broke down all his defenses, left his strongholds in ruins. 荡平了他所有的城垣，使他的堡垒化为荒原； 42 All who pass through seize plunder; his neighbors deride him. 凡过路的人都劫掠他，他为邻人所嘲笑辱骂。 43 You have exalted the right hand of his foes, have gladdened all his enemies. 44 You turned back his sharp sword, did not support him in battle. 45 You brought to an end his splendor, hurled his throne to the ground. 46 You cut short the days of his youth, covered him with shame. Selah 47 How long, LORD? Will you stay hidden forever? Must your wrath smolder like fire? 48 Remember how brief is my life, how frail the race you created! 49 What mortal can live and not see death? Who can escape the power of Sheol? Selah 有那一个人能常生不死，有谁能自救于阴府的权势？ 50 Where are your promises of old, Lord, the loyalty sworn to David? 51 Remember, Lord, the insults to your servants, how I bear all the slanders of the nations. 上主，求你记念你仆人所受的耻辱。在我胸中所承担异民的一切憎恶： 52 Your enemies, LORD, insult your anointed; they insult my every endeavor. 上主，你的仇敌所加的耻辱，凌辱你的受傅者脚步的耻辱。 53 10 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen! 愿上主永永远远受赞美！阿们，阿们！ Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 89] The community laments the defeat of the Davidic king, to whom God promised kingship as enduring as the heavens (Psalm 89:2-5). The psalm narrates how God became king of the divine beings (Psalm 89:6-9) and how the Davidic king became king of earthly kings (Psalm 89:20-38). Since the defeat of the king calls into question God's promise, the community ardently prays God to be faithful to the original promise to David (Psalm 89:39-52). 2 [3-5] David's dynasty is to be as long-lasting as the heavens, a statement reinforced by using the same verbs (establish, stand) both of the divine love and loyalty and of the Davidic dynasty and throne. Cf Psalm 89:29-30. 3 [7] The gods: literally, ＂the sons of gods,＂ ＂the holy ones＂ and ＂courtiers＂ of Psalm 89:6, 8. These heavenly spirits are members of God's court. 4 [11] Rahab: a mythological sea monster whose name is used in the Bible mainly as a personification of primeval chaos. Cf Job 9:13; 26:12; Psalm 74:13-14; Isaiah 51:9. 5 [13] Zaphon and Amanus: two sacred mountains in northern Syria. Tabor: a high hill in the valley of Jezreel in northern Israel. Hermon: a mountain in Lebanon, forming the southern spur of the Anti-Lebanon range. 6 [18,25] Horn: a concrete noun for an abstract quality; horn is a symbol of strength. 7 [26] The sea . . . the rivers: geographically the limits of the Davidic Empire (the Mediterranean and the Euphrates); mythologically, the traditional forces of chaos. See note on Psalm 89:11. 8 [28] Most High: a divine title, which is here extended to David as God's own king. Cf Psalm 2:7-9; Isaiah 9:5. As God rules over the members of the heavenly council (Psalm 89:6-9), so David, God's surrogate, rules over earthly kings. 9 [37-38] Like the sun before me . . . like the sky: as enduring as the heavenly lights. Cf Psalm 89:2-5 and Psalm 72:5, 17. 10 [53] The doxology at the end of the third book of the Psalms; it is not part of Psalm 89. |
