Psalms 89

The Lord’s Covenant with David, and Israel’s Afflictions.

A ▼
▼ Possibly, Contemplative, or Didactic, or Skillful Psalm
Maskil of ▼
▼ 1 Kin 4:31
Ethan ▼
▼ Ps 88: title
the Ezrahite.

1 I will dsing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
To all generations I will emake known Your ffaithfulness with my mouth.
 2For I have said, g“Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your hfaithfulness.”
 3“I have made a covenant with iMy chosen;
I have jsworn to David My servant,
 4I will establish your kseed forever
And build up your lthrone to all generations.” ▼
▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.

 5The nheavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also oin the assembly of the pholy ones.
 6For qwho in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the ▼
▼ Or sons of gods
 , ssons of the mighty is like the Lord,
 7A God tgreatly feared in the council of the uholy ones,
And vawesome above all those who are around Him?
 8O Lord God of hosts, wwho is like You, O mighty ▼
▼ Heb Yah
Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
 9You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You ystill them.
 10You Yourself crushed ▼
▼ I.e. Egypt
 , aaRahab like one who is slain;
You abscattered Your enemies with ▼
▼ Lit the arm of Your might
Your mighty arm.

 11The adheavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The aeworld and ▼
▼ Lit its fullness
all it contains, You have founded them.
 12The agnorth and the south, You have created them;
ahTabor and aiHermon ajshout for joy at Your name.
 13You have ▼
▼ Lit an arm with strength
a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your alright hand is exalted.
 14 amRighteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
anLovingkindness and ▼
▼ Or faithfulness
truth go before You.
 15How blessed are the people who know the ▼
▼ Or blast of the trumpet, shout of joy
 , aqjoyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the arlight of Your countenance.
 16In asYour name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
 17For You are the glory of attheir strength,
And by Your favor ▼
▼ Another reading is You exalt our horn
our avhorn is exalted.
 18For our awshield belongs to the Lord,
▼
▼ Or Even to the Holy One of Israel our King
And our king to the ayHoly One of Israel.

 19 ▼
▼ Or At that time
Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ▼
▼ Some mss read one
ones,
And said, “I have ▼
▼ Lit placed help upon
given help to one who is bcmighty;
I have exalted one bdchosen from the people.
 20“I have befound David My servant;
With My holy bfoil I have anointed him,
 21With whom bgMy hand will be established;
My arm also will bhstrengthen him.
 22“The enemy will not ▼
▼ Or exact usury from him
deceive him,
Nor the ▼
▼ Or wicked man
 , bkson of wickedness afflict him.
 23“But I shall blcrush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
 24“My bmfaithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him,
And in My name his bnhorn will be exalted.
 25“I shall also set his hand boon the sea
And his right hand on the rivers.
 26“He will cry to Me, ‘You are bpmy Father,
My God, and the bqrock of my salvation.’
 27“I also shall make him My brfirstborn,
The bshighest of the kings of the earth.
 28“My btlovingkindness I will keep for him forever,
And My bucovenant shall be confirmed to him.
 29“So I will establish his ▼
▼ Lit seed
 , bwdescendants forever
And his bxthrone byas the days of heaven.

 30“If his sons bzforsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
 31If they ▼
▼ Lit profane
violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
 32Then I will punish their transgression with the cbrod
And their iniquity with stripes.
 33“But I will not break off ccMy lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
 34“My cdcovenant I will not ▼
▼ Lit profane
violate,
Nor will I cfalter ▼
▼ Lit that which goes forth
the utterance of My lips.
 35 ▼
▼ Or One thing
“Once I have cisworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
 36“His ▼
▼ Lit seed
 , ckdescendants shall endure forever
And his clthrone cmas the sun before Me.
 37“It shall be established forever cnlike the moon,
And the cowitness in the sky is faithful.” ▼
▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.

 38But You have cqcast off and crrejected,
You have been full of wrath ▼
▼ Lit with
against Your ctanointed.
 39You have cuspurned the covenant of Your servant;
You have cvprofaned cwhis crown ▼
▼ Lit to the ground
in the dust.
 40You have cybroken down all his walls;
You have czbrought his strongholds to ruin.
 41 daAll who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a dbreproach to his neighbors.
 42You have dcexalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have ddmade all his enemies rejoice.
 43You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have denot made him stand in battle.
 44You have made his ▼
▼ Lit clearness, luster
 , dgsplendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.
 45You have dhshortened the days of his youth;
You have dicovered him with shame. Selah.

 46 djHow long, O Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your dkwrath burn like fire?
 47 dlRemember ▼
▼ Lit of what duration I am
what my span of life is;
For what dnvanity ▼
▼ Or have You...men?
You have created all the sons of men!
 48What man can live and not dpsee death?
Can he dqdeliver his soul from the ▼
▼ Lit hand
power of ▼
▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol? Selah.

 49Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You dtswore to David in Your faithfulness?
 50Remember, O Lord, the dureproach of Your servants;
▼
▼ Lit My bearing in my bosom
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
 51With which dwYour enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of dxYour anointed.

 52 dyBlessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.
