(Psa 89:1) I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
(Psa 89:2) For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
(Psa 89:3) I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
(Psa 89:4) Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
(Psa 89:5) And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
(Psa 89:6) For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? {who} among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
(Psa 89:7) God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all {them that are} about him.
(Psa 89:8) O Lord God of hosts, who {is} a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
(Psa 89:9) Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
(Psa 89:10) Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
(Psa 89:11) The heavens {are} thine, the earth also {is} thine: {as for} the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
(Psa 89:12) The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
(Psa 89:13) Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, {and} high is thy right hand.
(Psa 89:14) Justice and judgment {are} the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
(Psa 89:15) Blessed {is} the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
(Psa 89:16) In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
(Psa 89:17) For thou {art} the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
(Psa 89:18) For the Lord {is} our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is {our} king.
(Psa 89:19) Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon {one that is} mighty; I have exalted {one} chosen out of the people.
(Psa 89:20) I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
(Psa 89:21) With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
(Psa 89:22) The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
(Psa 89:23) And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
(Psa 89:24) But my faithfulness and my mercy {shall be} with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
(Psa 89:25) I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
(Psa 89:26) He shall cry unto me, thou {art} my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
(Psa 89:27) Also I will make him {my} firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
(Psa 89:28) My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
(Psa 89:29) His seed also will I make {to endure} for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
(Psa 89:30) If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
(Psa 89:31) If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
(Psa 89:32) Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
(Psa 89:33) Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
(Psa 89:34) My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
(Psa 89:35) Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
(Psa 89:36) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
(Psa 89:37) It shall be established for ever as the moon, and {as} a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
(Psa 89:38) But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
(Psa 89:39) Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown {by casting it} to the ground.
(Psa 89:40) Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
(Psa 89:41) All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
(Psa 89:42) Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
(Psa 89:43) Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
(Psa 89:44) Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
(Psa 89:45) The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
(Psa 89:46) How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
(Psa 89:47) Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
(Psa 89:48) What man {is he that} liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
(Psa 89:49) Lord, where {are} thy former lovingkindnesses, {which} thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
(Psa 89:50) Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how {I} do bear in my bosom the {reproach of all} the mighty people;
(Psa 89:51) Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
(Psa 89:52) Blessed {be} the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
