89:1 I will sing of the loving kindness of Jehovah everlasting. I will make known your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth. 89:2 Because I have said, Mercy will be built up everlasting. Your faithfulness you will establish in the very heavens.
89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen. I have sworn to David my servant: 89:4 Your seed I will establish everlasting and build up your throne to all generations. Selah.
89:5 And the heavens will praise your wonders, O Jehovah, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
89:6 Because who in the clouds can arrange them to Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like Jehovah, 89:7 a God very awesome in the council of the holy ones and to be feared above all those who are all around him?
89:8 O Jehovah God of hosts, who is a mighty one like you, O Jehovah? And your faithfulness is all around you.
89:9 You rule the pride of the sea. When the waves of it arise, you still them. 89:10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as a wounded man. You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength.
89:11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours, the world and the fullness of it; you have founded them. 89:12 The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
89:13 You have a mighty arm. Strong is your hand and high is your right hand.
89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
89:15 The people who know the shout of you are fortunate. O Jehovah, they walk in the light of your countenance. 89:16 They rejoice all the day in your name and they are exalted in your righteousness.
89:17 Because you are the glory of their strength and in your favor our horn will be exalted. 89:18 Because our shield belongs to Jehovah and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
89:19 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones and said, I have laid help upon a mighty man. I have exalted a chosen man out of the people.
89:20 I have found David my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil, 89:21 with whom my hand will be established. My arm also will strengthen him.
89:22 The enemy will not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 89:23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him and strike those who hate him, 89:24 but my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him and in my name will his horn be exalted.
89:25 I will also set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
89:26 He will cry to me, You are my Father, my God and the rock of my salvation. 89:27 I also will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
89:28 I will keep my loving kindness for him everlasting. And my covenant will stand fast with him.89:29 I will also make his seed to endure forever and his throne as the days of heaven.
89:30 If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my ordinances, 89:31 if they break my statutes and do not keep my commandments, 89:32 then I will visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, 89:33 but my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
89:34 I will not break my covenant, nor alter the thing that has gone out of my lips.
89:35 I have sworn once by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 89:36 His seed will endure everlasting and his throne as the sun before me. 89:37 It will be established everlasting as the moon and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah.
89:38 But you have cast off and rejected. You have been angry with your anointed. 89:39 You have spurned the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his crown to the ground. 89:40 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
89:41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors. 89:42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all his enemies to rejoice.
89:43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him to stand in the battle.
89:44 You have made his brightness to cease and cast his throne down to the ground. 89:45 The days of his youth you have shortened. You have covered him with shame. Selah.
89:46 How long, O Jehovah? Will you hide yourself forever? Shall your wrath burn like fire? 89:47O remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the sons of men!
89:48 What man is he who will live and not see death, who will deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
89:49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my bosom all the mighty peoples, 89:51 with which your enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.
89:52 Praise Jehovah everlasting. Truly and Truly.
