Psalms 89
1 Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite. My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.
| משכיל לאיתן האזרחי ב חסדי יהוה עולם אשירה לדר ודר אודיע אמונתך בפי |
2 For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.
| כי-אמרתי--עולם חסד יבנה שמים תכן אמונתך בהם |
3 I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
| כרתי ברית לבחירי נשבעתי לדוד עבדי |
4 I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah)
| עד-עולם אכין זרעך ובניתי לדר-ודור כסאך סלה |
5 In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.
| ויודו שמים פלאך יהוה אף-אמונתך בקהל קדשים |
6 For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
| כי מי בשחק יערך ליהוה ידמה ליהוה בבני אלים |
7 God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.
| אל נערץ בסוד-קדשים רבה ונורא על-כל-סביביו |
8 O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.
| יהוה אלהי צבאות--מי-כמוך חסין יה ואמונתך סביבותיך |
9 You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.
| אתה מושל בגאות הים בשוא גליו אתה תשבחם |
10 Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.
| אתה דכאת כחלל רהב בזרוע עזך פזרת אויביך |
11 Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.
| לך שמים אף-לך ארץ תבל ומלאה אתה יסדתם |
12 You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.
| צפון וימין אתה בראתם תבור וחרמון בשמך ירננו |
13 Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.
| לך זרוע עם-גבורה תעז ידך תרום ימינך |
14 The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
| צדק ומשפט מכון כסאך חסד ואמת יקדמו פניך |
15 Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.
| אשרי העם ידעי תרועה יהוה באור-פניך יהלכון |
16 In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.
| בשמך יגילון כל-היום ובצדקתך ירומו |
17 For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.
| כי-תפארת עזמו אתה וברצונך תרים (תרום) קרנינו |
18 For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
| כי ליהוה מגננו ולקדוש ישראל מלכנו |
19 Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
| אז דברת בחזון לחסידיך-- ותאמר שויתי עזר על-גבור הרימותי בחור מעם |
20 I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
| מצאתי דוד עבדי בשמן קדשי משחתיו |
21 My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
| אשר ידי תכון עמו אף-זרועי תאמצנו |
22 The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
| לא-ישיא אויב בו ובן-עולה לא יעננו |
23 I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
| וכתותי מפניו צריו ומשנאיו אגוף |
24 But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
| ואמונתי וחסדי עמו ובשמי תרום קרנו |
25 I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
| ושמתי בים ידו ובנהרות ימינו |
26 He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
| הוא יקראני אבי אתה אלי וצור ישועתי |
27 And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
| אף-אני בכור אתנהו עליון למלכי-ארץ |
28 I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
| לעולם אשמור- (אשמר-) לו חסדי ובריתי נאמנת לו |
29 His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
| ושמתי לעד זרעו וכסאו כימי שמים |
30 If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
| אם-יעזבו בניו תורתי ובמשפטי לא ילכון |
31 If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
| אם-חקתי יחללו ומצותי לא ישמרו |
32 Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
| ופקדתי בשבט פשעם ובנגעים עונם |
33 But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
| וחסדי לא-אפיר מעמו ולא-אשקר באמונתי |
34 I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
| לא-אחלל בריתי ומוצא שפתי לא אשנה |
35 I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
| אחת נשבעתי בקדשי אם-לדוד אכזב |
36 His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
| זרעו לעולם יהיה וכסאו כשמש נגדי |
37 It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah)
| כירח יכון עולם ועד בשחק נאמן סלה |
38 But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
| ואתה זנחת ותמאס התעברת עם-משיחך |
39 You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
| נארתה ברית עבדך חללת לארץ נזרו |
40 All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
| פרצת כל-גדרתיו שמת מבצריו מחתה |
41 All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
| שסהו כל-עברי דרך היה חרפה לשכניו |
42 You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.
| הרימות ימין צריו השמחת כל-אויביו |
43 His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
| אף-תשיב צור חרבו ולא הקימתו במלחמה |
44 You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
| השבת מטהרו וכסאו לארץ מגרתה |
45 You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah)
| הקצרת ימי עלומיו העטית עליו בושה סלה |
46 How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
| עד-מה יהוה תסתר לנצח תבער כמו-אש חמתך |
47 See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
| זכר-אני מה-חלד על-מה-שוא בראת כל-בני-אדם |
48 What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
| מי גבר יחיה ולא יראה-מות ימלט נפשו מיד-שאול סלה (Sheol h7585) |
49 Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
| איה חסדיך הראשנים אדני נשבעת לדוד באמונתך |
50 Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;
| זכר אדני חרפת עבדיך שאתי בחיקי כל-רבים עמים |
51 The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
| אשר חרפו אויביך יהוה אשר חרפו עקבות משיחך |
52 Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
| ברוך יהוה לעולם אמן ואמן |
