Psalm 89:1-52 MEV

[1] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations. [2] For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness shall be established in the heavens." [3] You have said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: [4] 'Your offspring I will establish forever, and build up your throne for all generations.' " Selah [5] Let the heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. [6] For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly sons is like the LORD? [7] God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones and awesome to all those who surround Him. [8] O LORD God of Hosts, who is a mighty LORD like You, with Your faithfulness all around You? [9] You rule the raging of the sea; when the waves arise, You still them. [10] You crushed Rahab like a corpse; You scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm. [11] The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours; the world and all that is in it, You have founded them. [12] The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name. [13] You have a mighty arm, and strong is Your hand, and victorious is Your right hand. [14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth shall go before Your presence. [15] Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout. They walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence. [16] In Your name they rejoice all the day, and in Your righteousness they shall be exalted. [17] For You are the beauty of their strength; by Your favor our horn is exalted. [18] For the LORD is our shield of defense, and the Holy One of Israel is our king. [19] Long ago You spoke in a vision to Your godly one and said: "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. [20] I have found David, My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him: [21] By whom My hand shall be established; My arm also shall strengthen him. [22] The enemy shall not take tribute from him, nor the wicked humiliate him. [23] I will beat down his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. [24] My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted. [25] I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. [26] He shall cry unto Me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' [27] Also I will make him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. [28] In My mercy I will keep him forever, and My covenant shall stand firm with him. [29] His offspring also I will establish forever and his throne as the days of heaven. [30] "If his children forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments, [31] if they break My statutes and do not keep My commandments, [32] then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with lashes. [33] Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not remove from him nor be false in My faithfulness. [34] My covenant I will not violate nor alter the word that has gone out from My lips. [35] Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness that I will not lie to David: [36] His offspring shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me; [37] it shall be established forever as the moon and as a faithful witness in the heavens." Selah [38] But now You have cast off and rejected him, You have been wrathful with Your anointed king. [39] You have renounced the covenant with Your servant; You have defiled his crown by casting it to the ground. [40] You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin. [41] All who pass by the way plunder him; he is a reproach to his neighbors. [42] You have set high the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice. [43] You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not made him stand in battle. [44] You have made his glory cease and cast his throne down to the ground. [45] The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah [46] How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? How long shall Your wrath burn like fire? [47] Remember how short my time is! Why have You made all people in such emptiness? [48] What man can live and not see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah [49] Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? [50] Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants and how I bear in my heart the insults of the many nations, [51] which Your enemies taunt, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of Your anointed king. [52] Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
