Psalms 89

A  aMaskil of  bEthan  cthe Ezrahite.

1

I will  asing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will  bmake known Your  cfaithfulness with my mouth.

2

For I have said, " aLovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your  bfaithfulness."

3

"I have made a covenant with  aMy chosen; I have  bsworn to David My servant,

4

I will establish your  aseed forever And build up your  bthrone to all generations."  1Selah.

5

The  aheavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also  bin the assembly of the  choly ones.

6

For  awho in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the  1 bsons of the mighty is like the LORD,

7

A God  agreatly feared in the council of the  bholy ones, And  cawesome above all those who are around Him?

8

O LORD God of hosts,  awho is like You, O mighty  1LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

9

You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You  astill them.

10

You Yourself crushed  1 aRahab like one who is slain; You  bscattered Your enemies with  2Your mighty arm.

11

The  aheavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The  bworld and  1all it contains, You have founded them.

12

The  anorth and the south, You have created them;  bTabor and  cHermon  dshout for joy at Your name.

13

You have  1a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your  aright hand is exalted.

14

 aRighteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;  bLovingkindness and  1truth go before You.

15

How blessed are the people who know the  1 ajoyful sound! O LORD, they walk in the  blight of Your countenance.

16

In  aYour name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.

17

For You are the glory of  atheir strength, And by Your favor  1our  bhorn is exalted.

18

For our  ashield belongs to the LORD,  1And our king to the  bHoly One of Israel.

19

 1Once You spoke in vision to Your godly  2ones, And said, "I have  3given help to one who is  amighty; I have exalted one  bchosen from the people.

20

"I have  afound David My servant; With My holy  boil I have anointed him,

21

With whom  aMy hand will be established; My arm also will  bstrengthen him.

22

"The enemy will not  1deceive him, Nor the  2 ason of wickedness afflict him.

23

"But I shall  acrush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

24

"My  afaithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his  bhorn will be exalted.

25

"I shall also set his hand  aon the sea And his right hand on the rivers.

26

"He will cry to Me, `You are  amy Father, My God, and the  brock of my salvation.'

27

"I also shall make him My  afirstborn, The  bhighest of the kings of the earth.

28

"My  alovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My  bcovenant shall be confirmed to him.

29

"So I will establish his  1 adescendants forever And his  bthrone  cas the days of heaven.

30

"If his sons  aforsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

31

If they  1violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,

32

Then I will punish their transgression with the  arod And their iniquity with stripes.

33

"But I will not break off  aMy lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

34

"My  acovenant I will not  1violate, Nor will I  balter  2the utterance of My lips.

35

1Once I have  asworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

36

"His  1 adescendants shall endure forever And his  bthrone  cas the sun before Me.

37

"It shall be established forever  alike the moon, And the  bwitness in the sky is faithful."  1Selah.

38

But You have  acast off and  brejected, You have been full of wrath  1against Your  canointed.

39

You have  aspurned the covenant of Your servant; You have  bprofaned  chis crown  1in the dust.

40

You have  abroken down all his walls; You have  bbrought his strongholds to ruin.

41

 aAll who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a  breproach to his neighbors.

42

You have  aexalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have  bmade all his enemies rejoice.

43

You also turn back the edge of his sword And have  anot made him stand in battle.

44

You have made his  1 asplendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.

45

You have  ashortened the days of his youth; You have  bcovered him with shame. Selah.

46

 aHow long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your  bwrath burn like fire?

47

 aRemember  1what my span of life is; For what  bvanity  2You have created all the sons of men!

48

What man can live and not  asee death? Can he  bdeliver his soul from the  1power of  2Sheol? Selah.

49

Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord, Which You  aswore to David in Your faithfulness?

50

Remember, O Lord, the  areproach of Your servants;  1How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51

With which  aYour enemies have reproached, O LORD, With which they have reproached the footsteps of  bYour anointed.

52

 aBlessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
