Psalm 89 | Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. |
Maschil | |
| 1 | I will sing of the
mercies of the LORD 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 shalt 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 LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation
of
the saints.
|
the heavens |
| 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?
|
|
| 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.
|
|
| 8 | O LORD God of hosts,
who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness
round
about thee?
|
|
| 9 | Thou rulest the
raging 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 thy strong arm.
|
Rahab |
| 11 | The heavens
are thine, the earth also is thine: as for
the world
and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
|
earth also is thine |
| 12 | The north and the
south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy
name.
|
created them |
| 13 | Thou hast a mighty
arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
|
|
| 14 | Justice and judgment
are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go
before
thy face.
|
|
| 15 | Blessed is
the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the
light of thy countenance.
|
|
| 16 | In thy name shall
they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be
exalted.
|
|
| 17 | For thou art
the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be
exalted.
|
|
| 18 | For the LORD
is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our
king.
|
|
| 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.
|
|
| 20 | I have found David
my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
|
anointed A1322 13V14 |
| 21 | With whom my hand
shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
|
|
| 22 | The enemy shall not
exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
|
|
| 23 | And I will beat down
his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
|
|
| 24 | But my faithfulness
and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn
be
exalted.
|
|
| 25 | I will set his hand
also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
|
in the rivers |
| 26 | He shall cry unto
me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
|
|
| 27 | Also I will make him
my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
|
my firstborn |
| 28 | My mercy 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 my judgments;
|
|
| 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 | Nevertheless 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 that 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 a faithful witness in
heaven. Selah.
|
for ever as the moon |
| 38 | But thou hast cast
off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
|
wroth with thine anointed |
| 39 | Thou hast made void
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 strong holds to ruin.
|
|
| 41 | All that pass by the
way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
|
|
| 42 | Thou hast set up the
right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to
rejoice.
|
|
| 43 | Thou hast also
turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the
battle.
|
|
| 44 | Thou hast made his
glory 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, LORD? wilt
thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
|
|
| 47 | Remember how short
my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
|
|
| 48 | What man is he
that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul
from
the hand of the grave? Selah.
|
|
| 49 | Lord, where
are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou
swarest unto
David in thy truth?
|
|
| 50 | Remember, Lord, the
reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the
reproach
of all the mighty people;
|
|
| 51 | Wherewith thine
enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the
footsteps of thine anointed.
|
|
| 52 | Blessed be
the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
|
Amen, and Amen |
