089:001

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens

089:002

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant

089:003

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah

089:004

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints

089:005

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

089:006

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

089:007

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

089:008

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

089:009

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

089:010

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them

089:011

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

089:012

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand

089:013

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face

089:014

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance

089:015

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted

089:016

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted

089:017

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

089:018

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

089:019

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him

089:020

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him

089:021

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him

089:022

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him

089:023

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted

089:024

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers

089:025

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

089:026

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth

089:027

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him

089:028

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven

089:029

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments

089:030

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments

089:031

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes

089:032

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail

089:033

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips

089:034

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David

089:035

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me

089:036

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah

089:037

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed

089:038

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground

089:039

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin

089:040

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours

089:041

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice

089:042

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle

089:043

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground

089:044

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

089:045

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire

089:046

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain

089:047

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah

089:048

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth

089:049

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people

089:050

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed

089:051

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen
