89:1 |
I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.
|
89:2 |
I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
|
89:3 |
You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant,
|
89:4 |
`I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.' " ((Selah))
|
89:5 |
The heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
|
89:6 |
For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings?
|
89:7 |
In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.
|
89:8 |
O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
|
89:9 |
You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.
|
89:10 |
You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.
|
89:11 |
The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.
|
89:12 |
You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.
|
89:13 |
Your arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
|
89:14 |
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
|
89:15 |
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
|
89:16 |
They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness.
|
89:17 |
For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.
|
89:18 |
Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
|
89:19 |
Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have exalted a young man from among the people.
|
89:20 |
I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
|
89:21 |
My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.
|
89:22 |
No enemy will subject him to tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
|
89:23 |
I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.
|
89:24 |
My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.
|
89:25 |
I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.
|
89:26 |
He will call out to me, `You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.
|
89:27 |
'I will also appoint him my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
|
89:28 |
I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.
|
89:29 |
I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
|
89:30 |
"If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
|
89:31 |
if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
|
89:32 |
I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
|
89:33 |
but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
|
89:34 |
I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
|
89:35 |
Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David--
|
89:36 |
that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
|
89:37 |
it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky." ((Selah))
|
89:38 |
But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.
|
89:39 |
You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.
|
89:40 |
You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.
|
89:41 |
All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
|
89:42 |
You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
|
89:43 |
You have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.
|
89:44 |
You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
|
89:45 |
You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame. ((Selah))
|
89:46 |
How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
|
89:47 |
Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all men!
|
89:48 |
What man can live and not see death, or save himself from the power of the grave? ((Selah))
|
89:49 |
O Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
|
89:50 |
Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
|
89:51 |
the taunts with which your enemies have mocked, O LORD, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.
|
89:52 |
Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. BOOK IV Psalms 90-106
