תהילים 89
| משכיל לאיתן האזרחי חסדי יהוה עולם אשירה לדר ודר אודיע אמונתך בפי׃ | 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.
| כי אמרתי עולם חסד יבנה שמים תכן אמונתך בהם׃ | 2 |
For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.
| כרתי ברית לבחירי נשבעתי לדוד עבדי׃ | 3 |
I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
| עד עולם אכין זרעך ובניתי לדר ודור כסאך סלה׃ | 4 |
I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah)
| ויודו שמים פלאך יהוה אף אמונתך בקהל קדשים׃ | 5 |
In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.
| כי מי בשחק יערך ליהוה ידמה ליהוה בבני אלים׃ | 6 |
For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
| אל נערץ בסוד קדשים רבה ונורא על כל סביביו׃ | 7 |
God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.
| יהוה אלהי צבאות מי כמוך חסין יה ואמונתך סביבותיך׃ | 8 |
O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.

Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.

Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.
| צדק ומשפט מכון כסאך חסד ואמת יקדמו פניך׃ | 14 |
The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
| אשרי העם יודעי תרועה יהוה באור פניך יהלכון׃ | 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.

For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.
| כי ליהוה מגננו ולקדוש ישראל מלכנו׃ | 18 |
For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
| אז דברת בחזון לחסידיך ותאמר שויתי עזר על גבור הרימותי בחור מעם׃ | 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.

My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
| לא ישא אויב בו ובן עולה לא יעננו׃ | 22 |
The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
| וכתותי מפניו צריו ומשנאיו אגוף׃ | 23 |
I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
| ואמונתי וחסדי עמו ובשמי תרום קרנו׃ | 24 |
But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
| ושמתי בים ידו ובנהרות ימינו׃ | 25 |
I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
| הוא יקראני אבי אתה אלי וצור ישועתי׃ | 26 |
He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
| לעולם אשמור לו חסדי ובריתי נאמנת לו׃ | 28 |
I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
| ושמתי לעד זרעו וכסאו כימי שמים׃ | 29 |
His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
| אם יעזבו בניו תורתי ובמשפטי לא ילכון׃ | 30 |
If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
| אם חקתי יחללו ומצותי לא ישמרו׃ | 31 |
If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
| ופקדתי בשבט פשעם ובנגעים עונם׃ | 32 |
Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
| וחסדי לא אפיר מעמו ולא אשקר באמונתי׃ | 33 |
But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
| לא אחלל בריתי ומוצא שפתי לא אשנה׃ | 34 |
I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
| אחת נשבעתי בקדשי אם לדוד אכזב׃ | 35 |
I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
| זרעו לעולם יהיה וכסאו כשמש נגדי׃ | 36 |
His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
| כירח יכון עולם ועד בשחק נאמן סלה׃ | 37 |
It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah)

But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
| נארתה ברית עבדך חללת לארץ נזרו׃ | 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.

His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
| השבת מטהרו וכסאו לארץ מגרתה׃ | 44 |
You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
| הקצרת ימי עלומיו העטית עליו בושה סלה׃ | 45 |
You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah)
| עד מה יהוה תסתר לנצח תבער כמו אש חמתך׃ | 46 |
How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
| זכר אני מה חלד על מה שוא בראת כל בני אדם׃ | 47 |
See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
| מי גבר יחיה ולא יראה מות ימלט נפשו מיד שאול סלה׃ (Sheol h7585) | 48 |
What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
| איה חסדיך הראשנים אדני נשבעת לדוד באמונתך׃ | 49 |
Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
| זכר אדני חרפת עבדיך שאתי בחיקי כל רבים עמים׃ | 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;
| אשר חרפו אויביך יהוה אשר חרפו עקבות משיחך׃ | 51 |
The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
| ברוך יהוה לעולם אמן ואמן׃ | 52 |
Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
