89:1 (A maskil of Eitan the Ezrachi). I will sing of the mercies of Hashem olam; with my mouth will I make known Thy emunah (faithfulness) to dor vador.
89:2 For I have said, Chesed shall be built up olam; Thy emunah (faithfulness) shalt Thou establish in Shomayim itself.
89:3 I have made a Brit with My Bechir (Chosen one), I have sworn unto Dovid Avdi,
89:4 Thy Zera will I establish ad olam, and build up thy kisse to dor vador. Selah.
89:5 And Shomayim shall praise Thy wonders, O Hashem; Thy emunah (faithfulness) also in the Kahal Kedoshim.
89:6 For who in the heavens can be compared unto Hashem? Who among the bnei elim can be likened unto Hashem?
89:7 G-d is greatly to be feared in the sod Kedoshim (council of the holy ones), and is awesome over all them that are around Him.
89:8 Hashem Elohei Tzva’os, who is like Thee, O Mighty One, Hashem? Thy emunah also surrounds Thee!
89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the yam; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them [see Mk 4:41].
89:10 Thou hast broken Rachav in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered Thine oyevim with Thy strong Zero’a.
89:11 Shomayim are Thine, Eretz also is Thine; as for the tevel (world) and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.
89:12 The tzafon (north) and the yamin (south) Thou hast created them; Tavor and Chermon shall sing for joy in Thy Shem.
89:13 Thou hast a mighty Zero’a; strong is Thy Yad, and exalted is Thy Yamin.
89:14 Tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of Thy kisse; chesed and emes shall go before Thy face.
89:15 Ashrei is the people that know the joyful sound; they shall walk, Hashem, in the ohr (light) of Thy countenance.
89:16 In Thy Shem shall they rejoice kol hayom; and in Thy tzedakah shall they be exalted.
89:17 For Thou art the tiferet (splendor, glory) of their strength; and in Thy favor our keren shall be exalted.
89:18 For Hashem is our mogen; and the Kadosh Yisroel is Malkeinu (our king).
89:19 Then Thou spoke in chazon (vision) to Thy chasidim, and saidst, I have laid ezer (help) upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
89:20 I have found Dovid Avdi; with My shemen kadosh (holy oil) meshachtiv (I anointed him);
89:21 With whom My yad shall be established; Mine zero’a also shall strengthen him.
89:22 The oyev (enemy) shall not ensnare him; nor the ben avlah (son of wickedness) afflict him.
89:23 And I will beat down his tzar before his face, and strike down them that hate him.
89:24 But My emunah (faithfulness) and My chesed shall be with him; and in My Shem shall his keren be exalted.
89:25 I will set his yad also upon the yam, and his yamin upon the neharot (rivers).
89:26 He shall cry out unto Me, Thou art Avi, Eli, and the Tzur of my Yeshuah (salvation) [Mt 16:16].
89:27 Also I will make him My Bechor, elyon (most exalted) of the Malkhei Aretz.
89:28 My chesed will I be shomer over for him forevermore, and My Brit shall stand unfailing with him.
89:29 His zera also will I make to endure forever, and his kisse as the days of Shomayim.
89:30 If his banim forsake My torah, walk not in My mishpatim,
89:31 If they violate My chukkot, and are not shomer over My mitzvot;
89:32 Then will I visit their peysha with shevet (rod), and their avon (iniquity) with stripes.
89:33 Nevertheless My chesed will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My emunah (faithfulness) to fail.
89:34 My Brit will I not violate, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.
89:35 Once have I sworn by My Kodesh; I will not lie unto Dovid.
89:36 His zera shall endure l’olam, and his kisse as the shemesh before Me.
89:37 It shall be established olam as the yarei’ach, and as an ed ne’eman (a faithful witness) in the heavens. Selah.
89:38 But Thou hast cast off [mem-alef-samech, see same word Psalm 118:22] and abhorred, Thou hast been in wrath with Thine Moshiach.
89:39 Thou hast made void the Brit of Thy eved; Thou hast profaned his nezer (diadem) to the ground.
89:40 Thou hast broken down all his gederot (hedges); Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
89:41 All that pass by the derech plunder him; he is a cherpah (reproach) to his shchenim [Mt 27:39].
89:42 Thou hast exalted the yamin of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his oyevim to rejoice.
89:43 Thou hast also turned back the edge of his cherev, and hast not made him to stand in the milchamah.
89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his kisse down to the ground.
89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened; Thou hast covered him with bushah (shame). Selah.
89:46 How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou hide Thyself lanetzach (forever)? Shall Thy wrath burn like eish?
89:47 Remember how short my time is. For what vanity hast Thou created kol bnei adam?
89:48 What gever is he that liveth, and shall not see mavet? Shall he deliver his nefesh from the yad Sheol (power of Sheol)? Selah.
89:49 Adonoi, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, which Thou didst swear unto Dovid in Thy emunah?
89:50 Remember, Adonoi, the reproach of Thy avadim; how I do bear in my kheyk (bosom) the reproach of all rabbim amim (many peoples);
89:51 Wherewith Thine oyevim have reproached, Hashem; wherewith they have reproached the ikkevot (footsteps) of Thine Moshiach.
