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。
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
89:2 因我曾说，你的慈悲，必建立到永远。你的信实，必坚立在天上。
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
89:3 我与我所拣选的人立了约，向我的仆人大卫起了誓。
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
89:4 我要建立你的后裔，直到永远，要建立你的宝座，直到万代。
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
89:5 耶和华阿，诸天要称赞你的奇事。在圣者的会中，要称赞你的信实。
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
89:6 在天空谁能比耶和华呢。神的众子中，谁能像耶和华呢。
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
89:7 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。
God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
89:8 耶和华万军之神阿，那一个大能者像你耶和华。你的信实，是在你的四围。
O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
89:9 你管辖海的狂傲。波浪翻腾，你就使他平静了。
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
89:10 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。
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
89:11 天属你，地也属你。世界和其中所充满的，都为你所建立。
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
89:12 南北为你所创造。他泊和黑门都因你的名欢呼。
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
89:13 你有大能的膀臂。你的手有力，你的右手也高举。
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
89:14 公义和公平，是你宝座的根基。慈爱和诚实，行在你前面。
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
89:15 知道向你欢呼的，那民是有福的。耶和华阿，他们在你脸上的光里行走。
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
89:16 他们因你的名终日欢乐，因你的公义得以高举。
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
89:17 你是他们力量的荣耀。因为你喜悦我们，我们的角必被高举。
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
89:18 我们的盾牌属耶和华。我们的王属以色列的圣者。
For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
89:19 当时你在异象中晓谕你的圣民，说，我以把救助之力，加在有能者的身上。我高举那从民中所拣选的
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
89:20 我寻得我的仆人大卫，用我的圣膏膏他。
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
89:21 我的手必使他竖立。我的膀臂也必坚固他。
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
89:22 仇敌必不勒索他，凶恶之子，也不苦害他。
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23 我要在他面前打碎他的敌人，击杀那恨他的人。
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
89:24 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。
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25 我要使他的左手伸到海上，右手伸到河上。
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
89:26 他要称呼我说，你是我的父是我的神，是拯救我的磐石。
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
89:27 我也要立他为长子，为世上最高的君王。
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
89:28 我要为他存留我的慈爱，直到永远。我与他立的约，必要坚定。
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
89:29 我也要使他的后裔，存到永远，使他的宝座，如天之久。
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30 倘若他的子孙离弃我的律法，不照我的典章行。
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
89:31 背弃我的律例，不遵守我的诫命。
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
89:32 我就要用杖责罚他们的过犯，用鞭责罚他们的罪孽。
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
89:33 只是我必不将我的慈爱，全然收回，也必不叫我的信实废弃。
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
89:34 我必不背弃我的约，也不改变我口中所出的。
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
89:35 我一次指着自己的圣洁起誓。我决不向大卫说谎。
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
89:36 他的后裔要存到永远，他的宝座在我面前，如日之恒一般。
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
89:37 又如月亮永远坚立，如天上确实的见证。（细拉）
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
89:38 但你恼怒你的受膏者，就丢掉弃绝他。
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
89:39 你厌恶了与仆人所立的约，将他的冠冕践踏于地。
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
89:40 你拆毁了他一切的篱笆。使他的保障，变为荒场。
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
89:41 凡过路的人，都抢夺他。他成为邻邦的羞辱。
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
89:42 你高举了他敌人的右手。你叫他一切的仇敌欢喜。
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 你叫他的刀剑卷刃，叫他在争战之中站立不住。
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
89:44 你使他的光辉止息，将他的宝座推倒于地。
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
89:45 你减少他青年的日子。又使他蒙羞。（细拉）
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
89:46 耶和华阿，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。
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
89:47 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）
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
89:48 谁能常活免死，救他的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄呢。（细拉）
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
89:49 主阿，你从前凭你的信实向大卫立誓，要施行的慈爱在那里呢。
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
89:50 主阿，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。
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
89:51 耶和华阿，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。
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
89:52 耶和华是应当称颂的，直到永远。阿们，阿们。
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
诗篇89参考
大卫──以色列的王，耶稣──全地的王。对于他们，你认识多少？
89篇 这首诗描述了大卫王朝的荣耀。神应许大卫成为地上最杰出的王，并且让他的子孙永远坐在王位上（参撒下7:8-16）。耶路撒冷一被摧毁，就没有王在那里执政了。所以这些经节只能预言式指向大卫的子孙──耶稣基督在未来统治大地。第27节是对大卫永无止境的王朝的预言。这预言将在基督未来统治全地之时实现和完美地表现出来（参启22:5）。
谁是圣者？
89:5 “圣者的会”一般是指天使。一队天军在天庭上赞美主。这是神威严、宏伟的景象之一，显示出神无与伦比。神的权柄和纯洁使神超乎自然和天使之上（参申33:2；路2:13；来12:22上关于天使的叙述）。
不知道这两个古怪的名字是甚么来的……
89:12 这说的是他泊和黑门山。他泊山海拔580公尺，地势虽然较低，却是士师记第4章所记底波拉得胜的地点。黑门山（2,700公尺）又高又宏伟。
在神公义的光里行走──我们行事为人是这样的吗？
89:14-15 公义、公平、爱和信实是神宝座的基础，也是神统治的基础。我们作为基督的使者应当一视同仁。我们的行动要出于公义，公平，爱和信实。一切不公平，缺乏爱，或者不诚实的行动都不是来自神的。
“角”指的是力量！我的力从何而来？有很多时候我都觉得力有不逮……
89:17, 24 “角”说的是动物的角，是力量的象徵。在第17节中，“角”的意思是“我们中间强壮的一位”，是我们对弥赛亚的希望。在第24节中，神应许大卫使他有神的能力来实现神的旨意。没有神的帮助，我们便软弱无力，无法承担哪怕是最小的属灵任务。但我们充满了神的灵的时候，神的能力就通过我们工作，我们所达到的也会超出我们的期望。
以色列人那么多次悖逆神，他怎么还与他们同行？
89:34-37 在以色列不断地背逆神的历史中，神却应许大卫的子孙永坐宝座（89:29），但他们若不顺服，神就要惩罚他们（89:30-32）。虽然他们不顺服受到了惩罚，神对他们还是信实的（89:33）。以色列的确不顺服，罪恶横行，结果国家分裂，放逐来临。但经历了这些之后，“被剩下来的”神的百姓仍然持守信心。多少世纪之后，那来自大卫家族的永远的王弥赛亚，就像神所应许的那样降临了。神所应许的都实现了。神绝不会食言。我们也可以相信神会像所说的那样救我们（参来6:13-18），因为神是全然可靠的神。
