89:1  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  For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness shalt Thou establish in the very heavens.”
89:3  “I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:
89:4  ‘Thy Seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.’” Selah
89:5  And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O Lord, Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
89:6  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  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all them that are about Him.
89:8  O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee? Or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?
89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.
89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered Thine enemies with Thy strong arm.
89:11  The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine; as for the world and the fullness thereof, Thou hast founded them.
89:12  The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy name.
89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand.
89:14  Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne; mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.
89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound! They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of Thy countenance.
89:16  In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day, and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
89:17  For Thou art the glory of their strength, and in Thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
89:18  For the Lord is our defense, and the Holy One of Israel is our King.
89:19  Then Thou didst speak in a vision to Thy holy one and said, “I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
89:20  I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him.
89:21  With him My hand shall be established; Mine arm shall also strengthen him.
89:22  The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
89:24  But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name shall his horn be exalted.
89:25  I will set his hand also over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers.
89:26  He shall cry unto Me, ‘Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
89:27  Also I will make him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.
89:29  His Seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30  If his children forsake My law and walk not in My judgments,
89:31  if they break My statutes and keep not My commandments,
89:32  then will I visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.
89:33  Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor permit My faithfulness to fail.
89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the things which have gone out of My lips.
89:35  Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David.
89:36  His Seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the heaven.” Selah
89:38  But Thou hast cast off and abhorred; Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.
89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
89:41  All that pass by the way despoil him; he is a reproach to his neighbors.
89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
89:45  The days of his youth hast Thou shortened, Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah
89:46  How long, Lord? Wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? Shall Thy wrath burn like fire?
89:47  Remember how short my time is; why hast Thou made all men in vain?
89:48  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  Lord, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, which Thou hast sworn unto David in Thy truth?
89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach against Thy servants” how I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people
89:51  wherewith Thine enemies have reproached, O Lord, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of Thine anointed.
89:52  Blessed be the Lord for evermore! Amen and Amen.
