Psalm 89:1-52 NASB

[1] I will sing of the graciousness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth. [2] For I have said, “Graciousness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.” [3] “I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David, [4] I will establish your descendants forever And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah [5] The heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. [6] For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord, [7] A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? [8] Lord God of armies, who is like You, mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. [9] You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You calm them. [10] You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. [11] The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have established them. [12] The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. [13] You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted. [14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You. [15] Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! Lord, they walk in the light of Your face. [16] In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted. [17] For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted. [18] For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel. [19] Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. [20] “I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, [21] With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him. [22] “The enemy will not deceive him, Nor will the son of wickedness afflict him. [23] “But I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him. [24] “My faithfulness and My favor will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted. [25] “I will also place his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. [26] “He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ [27] “I will also make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. [28] “I will maintain My favor for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him. [29] “So I will establish his descendants forever, And his throne as the days of heaven. [30] “If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments, [31] If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments, [32] Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the rod, And their guilt with afflictions. [33] “But I will not withhold My favor from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. [34] “I will not violate My covenant, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. [35] “Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. [36] “His descendants shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me. [37] “It shall be established forever like the moon, And a witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah [38] But You have rejected and refused, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed. [39] You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust. [40] You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin. [41] All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a disgrace to his neighbors. [42] You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice. [43] You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle. [44] You have put an end to his splendor And cast his throne to the ground. [45] You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah [46] How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? [47] Remember what my lifespan is; For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind! [48] What man can live and not see death? Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah [49] Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? [50] Remember, Lord, the taunt against Your servants; How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples, [51] With which Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of Your anointed. [52] Blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.
