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