1 I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever.
With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2 I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever.
You established the heavens.
Your faithfulness is in them."
3 "I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David, my servant,
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever,
and build up your throne to all generations.’" Selah.
5 The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh,
your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh?
Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
7 a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones,
to be feared above all those who are around him?
8 Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you?
Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
9 You rule the pride of the sea.
When its waves rise up, you calm them.
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain.
You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are yours.
The earth also is yours,
the world and its fullness.
You have founded them.
12 You have created the north and the south.
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
13 You have a mighty arm.
Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you.
They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
16 In your name they rejoice all day.
In your righteousness, they are exalted.
17 For you are the glory of their strength.
In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to Yahweh,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Then you spoke in vision to your saints,
and said, "I have given strength to the warrior.
I have exalted a young man from the people.
20 I have found David, my servant.
I have anointed him with my holy oil,
21 with whom my hand shall be established.
My arm will also strengthen him.
22 No enemy will tax him.
No wicked man will oppress him.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him,
and strike those who hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.
In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea,
and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
27 I will also appoint him my firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more.
My covenant will stand firm with him.
29 I will also make his offspring endure forever,
and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law,
and don’t walk in my ordinances;
31 if they break my statutes,
and don’t keep my commandments;
32 then I will punish their sin with the rod,
and their iniquity with stripes.
33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,
nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34 I will not break my covenant,
nor alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Once I have sworn by my holiness,
I will not lie to David.
36 His offspring will endure forever,
his throne like the sun before me.
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.
39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
You have defiled his crown in the dust.
40 You have broken down all his hedges.
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 All who pass by the way rob him.
He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.
You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,
and haven’t supported him in battle.
44 You have ended his splendor,
and thrown his throne down to the ground.
45 You have shortened the days of his youth.
You have covered him with shame. Selah.
46 How long, Yahweh?
Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is,
for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
48 What man is he who shall live and not see death,
who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,
which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants,
how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
51 With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh,
with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
52 Blessed be Yahweh forever more.
Amen, and Amen.
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！
