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