←Prev   Psalms 89 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


89:1  I will sing of the graciousness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth.
89:2  For I have said, “Graciousness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.”
89:3  “I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David,
89:4  I will establish your descendants forever And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah
89:5  The heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
89:6  For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
89:7  A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?
89:8  Lord God of armies, who is like You, mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
89:9  You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You calm them.
89:10  You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
89:11  The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have established them.
89:12  The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
89:13  You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.
89:14  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You.
89:15  Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! Lord, they walk in the light of Your face.
89:16  In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
89:17  For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.
89:18  For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
89:19  Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
89:20  I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
89:21  With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.
89:22  The enemy will not deceive him, Nor will the son of wickedness afflict him.
89:23  But I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.
89:24  My faithfulness and My favor will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted.
89:25  I will also place his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
89:26  He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’
89:27  I will also make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
89:28  I will maintain My favor for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him.
89:29  So I will establish his descendants forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30  “If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,
89:31  If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
89:32  Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the rod, And their guilt with afflictions.
89:33  But I will not withhold My favor from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
89:34  I will not violate My covenant, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.
89:35  Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.
89:36  His descendants shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me.
89:37  It shall be established forever like the moon, And a witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
89:38  But You have rejected and refused, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
89:39  You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.
89:40  You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
89:41  All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.
89:42  You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
89:43  You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle.
89:44  You have put an end to his splendor And cast his throne to the ground.
89:45  You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah
89:46  How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?
89:47  Remember what my lifespan is; For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind!
89:48  What man can live and not see death? Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
89:49  Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?
89:50  Remember, Lord, the taunt against Your servants; How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
89:51  With which Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of Your anointed.
89:52  Blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.
