Psalm 89:1-52 CSB

[1] I will sing about the LORD's faithful love forever; I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth. [2] For I will declare, "Faithful love is built up forever; you establish your faithfulness in the heavens." [3] The LORD said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn an oath to David my servant: [4] 'I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.'" Selah [5] LORD, the heavens praise your wonders- your faithfulness also- in the assembly of the holy ones. [6] For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD? [7] God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, more awe-inspiring than all who surround him. [8] LORD God of Armies, who is strong like you, LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds you. [9] You rule the raging sea; when its waves surge, you still them. [10] You crushed Rahab like one who is slain; you scattered your enemies with your powerful arm. [11] The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours. The world and everything in it-you founded them. [12] North and south-you created them. Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at your name. [13] You have a mighty arm; your hand is powerful; your right hand is lifted high. [14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; faithful love and truth go before you. [15] Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; LORD, they walk in the light from your face. [16] They rejoice in your name all day long, and they are exalted by your righteousness. [17] For you are their magnificent strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. [18] Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. [19] You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones and said, "I have granted help to a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people. [20] I have found David my servant; I have anointed him with my sacred oil. [21] My hand will always be with him, and my arm will strengthen him. [22] The enemy will not oppress him; the wicked will not afflict him. [23] I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him. [24] My faithfulness and love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted. [25] I will extend his power to the sea and his right hand to the rivers. [26] He will call to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.' [27] I will also make him my firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth. [28] I will always preserve my faithful love for him, and my covenant with him will endure. [29] I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as heaven lasts. [30] If his sons abandon my instruction and do not live by my ordinances, [31] if they dishonor my statutes and do not keep my commands, [32] then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their iniquity with blows. [33] But I will not withdraw my faithful love from him or betray my faithfulness. [34] I will not violate my covenant or change what my lips have said. [35] Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David. [36] His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me, [37] like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky." Selah [38] But you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed. [39] You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have completely dishonored his crown. [40] You have broken down all his walls; you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins. [41] All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors. [42] You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. [43] You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle. [44] You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne. [45] You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah [46] How long, LORD? Will you hide forever? Will your anger keep burning like fire? [47] Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing? [48] What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah [49] Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness? [50] Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants- in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples- [51] how your enemies have ridiculed, LORD, how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed. [52] Blessed be the LORD forever. Amen and amen.
