| Psa. 89:1 |
I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah forever; / From generation to generation I will make known Your faithfulness with / my mouth. |
| Psa. 89:2 |
For I have said, Lovingkindness will be built up forever; / In the heavens themselves You will establish Your faithfulness. |
| Psa. 89:3 |
I have made a covenant with My chosen one; / I have sworn to David My servant: |
| Psa. 89:4 |
I will establish your seed forever, / And I will build up your throne from generation to generation. Selah |
| Psa. 89:5 |
And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Jehovah, / Indeed Your faithfulness in the congregation of the holy ones. |
| Psa. 89:6 |
For who in the skies can be compared to Jehovah? / [Who] among the sons of the mighty is like Jehovah, |
| Psa. 89:7 |
[Like] God, greatly feared in the council of the holy ones / And awesome beyond all around Him? |
| Psa. 89:8 |
O Jehovah God of hosts, who is like You, the mighty Jah? / Your faithfulness also surrounds You. |
| Psa. 89:9 |
You rule the swelling of the sea: / When its waves rise up, You still them. |
| Psa. 89:10 |
You crushed Rahab like one slain; / You scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength. |
| Psa. 89:11 |
The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours; / The world and its fullness You have founded. |
| Psa. 89:12 |
You created the north and the south; / Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. |
| Psa. 89:13 |
You have an arm with might; / Your hand is strong; Your right hand is high. |
| Psa. 89:14 |
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; / Lovingkindness and truth go before Your face. |
| Psa. 89:15 |
Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout; / They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance. |
| Psa. 89:16 |
In Your name they exult all day long, / And in Your righteousness they are exalted. |
| Psa. 89:17 |
For You are the glory of their strength, / And in Your favor our horn is exalted. |
| Psa. 89:18 |
For our shield belongs to Jehovah, / And our king, to the Holy One of Israel. |
| Psa. 89:19 |
Then You spoke in vision / Of Your Holy One, and You said, / I have given help to One who is mighty; / I have exalted One chosen from My people. |
| Psa. 89:20 |
I have found David My Servant; / With My holy oil I have anointed Him, |
| Psa. 89:21 |
With whom My hand will be established; / My arm will also strengthen Him. |
| Psa. 89:22 |
The enemy will not exact [anything] from Him, / Nor will the son of wickedness afflict Him. |
| Psa. 89:23 |
And I will crush His adversaries before Him, / And I will strike those who hate Him. |
| Psa. 89:24 |
And My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with Him, / And in My name His horn will be exalted. |
| Psa. 89:25 |
And I will set His hand on the sea / And His right hand on the rivers. |
| Psa. 89:26 |
He will call upon Me, [saying,] You are My Father, / My God and the rock of My salvation. |
| Psa. 89:27 |
I will also make Him the Firstborn, / The highest of the kings of the earth. |
| Psa. 89:28 |
I will keep My lovingkindness for Him forever, / And My covenant will stand firm with Him. |
| Psa. 89:29 |
And I will establish His seed forever, / And His throne as the days of heaven. |
| Psa. 89:30 |
If His children forsake My law / And do not walk in My ordinances, |
| Psa. 89:31 |
If they profane My statutes / And do not keep My commandments, |
| Psa. 89:32 |
I will punish their transgression with a rod / And their iniquity with stripes. |
| Psa. 89:33 |
But My lovingkindness I will not utterly take away from Him, / Nor will I be false to My own faithfulness. |
| Psa. 89:34 |
I will not profane My covenant, / Nor will I change what has gone forth from My lips. |
| Psa. 89:35 |
Once I have sworn by My holiness; / I will not lie to David. |
| Psa. 89:36 |
His seed shall endure forever, / And His throne, like the sun before Me; |
| Psa. 89:37 |
It shall be established forever like the moon; / And the witness in the skies is firm. Selah |
| Psa. 89:38 |
But You have cast off and rejected; / You have been angry with Your anointed. |
| Psa. 89:39 |
You have abhorred the covenant of Your servant; / You have profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground. |
| Psa. 89:40 |
You have broken down all his walls; / You have brought his strongholds to ruin. |
| Psa. 89:41 |
All who pass by on the way plunder him; / He has become a reproach to his neighbors. |
| Psa. 89:42 |
You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; / You have caused all his enemies to rejoice. |
| Psa. 89:43 |
Indeed You have turned back the edge of his sword / And have not made him stand in the battle. |
| Psa. 89:44 |
You have made his brightness cease / And have cast down his throne to the ground. |
| Psa. 89:45 |
You have shortened the days of his youth; / You have covered him with shame. Selah |
| Psa. 89:46 |
How long, O Jehovah? Will You hide Yourself forever? / [How long] will Your wrath burn like fire? |
| Psa. 89:47 |
Remember how short my time is-- / For what vanity You have created all the sons of men! |
| Psa. 89:48 |
What man will live and not see death? / Will he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah |
| Psa. 89:49 |
Where are Your former acts of lovingkindness, O Lord, / Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? |
| Psa. 89:50 |
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, / How I bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty peoples, |
| Psa. 89:51 |
With which Your enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, / With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed. |
| Psa. 89:52 |
Blessed be Jehovah forever. / Amen and Amen. |
