Chapter 89

1


 

  Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. 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 wilt thou establish in the very heavens.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to 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.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For who in the heaven can be compared to the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?  

 

 

--

7


 

  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence by all them that are about him.  

 

 

--

8


 

  O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like to thee? or to thy faithfulness around thee?  

 

 

--

9


 

  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thy enemies with thy strong arm.  

 

 

--

11


 

  The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world, and the fullness of it, thou hast founded them.  

 

 

--

12


 

  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.  

 

 

--

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 are 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 favor our horn shall be exalted.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Then thou didst speak in vision to thy holy one, and say, 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: my 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 afflict 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.  

 

 

--

26


 

  He shall cry to me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Also I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth.  

 

 

--

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 loving-kindness 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 hath gone out of my lips.  

 

 

--

35


 

  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie to 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.  

 

 

--

38


 

  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thy 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 plunder him: he is a reproach to his neighbors.  

 

 

--

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: why 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 loving-kindnesses, which thou didst swear to 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


 

  With which thy enemies have reproached, O LORD; with which they have reproached the footsteps of thy anointed  

 

 

--

52


 

  Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen and amen.
