| Psalms 89: (ASV) |
| 1) I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah 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 wilt 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 Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. |
| 6) For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah, |
| 7) A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him? |
| 8) O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee. |
| 9) Thou rulest the pride 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 the arm of thy strength. |
| 11) The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
| 12) The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name. |
| 13) Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
| 14) Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face. |
| 15) Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance. |
| 16) In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted. |
| 17) For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. |
| 18) For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
| 19) Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, 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 whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. |
| 22) The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
| 23) And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him. |
| 24) But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
| 25) I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. |
| 26) He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. |
| 27) I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. |
| 28) My lovingkindness 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 mine ordinances; |
| 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) But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
| 34) My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
| 35) Once have I sworn by my holiness: 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 the faithful witness in the sky. [Selah] |
| 38) But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. |
| 39) Thou hast abhorred 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 rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors. |
| 42) Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. |
| 43) Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. |
| 44) Thou hast made his brightness 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, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
| 47) Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! |
| 48) What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah] |
| 49) Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? |
| 50) Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples, |
| 51) Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
| 52) Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
