Psalm 89:1-52 KJ21

[1] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations. [2] For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness shalt Thou establish in the very heavens." [3] "I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant: [4] 'Thy Seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.'" Selah [5] And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. [6] For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? [7] God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all them that are about Him. [8] O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto Thee? Or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee? [9] Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them. [10] Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered Thine enemies with Thy strong arm. [11] The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine; as for the world and the fullness thereof, Thou hast founded them. [12] The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy name. [13] Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand. [14] Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne; mercy and truth shall go before Thy face. [15] Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound! They shall walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance. [16] In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day, and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted. [17] For Thou art the glory of their strength, and in Thy favor our horn shall be exalted. [18] For the LORD is our defense, and the Holy One of Israel is our King. [19] Then Thou didst speak in a vision to Thy holy one and said, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. [20] I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him. [21] With him My hand shall be established; Mine arm shall also strengthen him. [22] The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. [23] And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. [24] But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name shall his horn be exalted. [25] I will set his hand also over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. [26] He shall cry unto Me, 'Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.' [27] Also I will make him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. [28] My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him. [29] His Seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. [30] If his children forsake My law and walk not in My judgments, [31] if they break My statutes and keep not My commandments, [32] then will I visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes. [33] Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor permit My faithfulness to fail. [34] My covenant will I not break, nor alter the things which have gone out of My lips. [35] Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David. [36] His Seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me. [37] It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the heaven." Selah [38] But Thou hast cast off and abhorred; Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed. [39] Thou hast made void the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. [40] Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. [41] All that pass by the way despoil him; he is a reproach to his neighbors. [42] Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. [43] Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. [44] Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. [45] The days of his youth hast Thou shortened, Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah [46] How long, LORD? Wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? Shall Thy wrath burn like fire? [47] Remember how short my time is; why hast Thou made all men in vain? [48] What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah [49] Lord, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, which Thou hast sworn unto David in Thy truth? [50] Remember, Lord, the reproach against Thy servants" how I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people [51] wherewith Thine enemies have reproached, O LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of Thine anointed. [52] Blessed be the LORD for evermore! Amen and Amen.
