Psalms 89

1 I will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.

2 For I have said, "Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness."

3 "I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant,

4 I will establish your seed forever And build up your throne to all generations." Selah.

5 The heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD ; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD ? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD ,

7 A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?

8 O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD ? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

9 You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

10 You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.

12 The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

13 You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

15 How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD , they walk in the light of Your countenance.

16 In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the LORD , And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20 "I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.

22 "The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 "But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

24 "My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted.

25 "I shall also set his hand on the sea And his right hand on the rivers.

26 "He will cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

27 "I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

28 "My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him.

29 "So I will establish his descendants forever And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 "If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,

32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes.

33 "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

34 "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

35 "Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

36 "His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me.

37 "It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah.

38 But You have cast off and rejected, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

39 You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.

40 You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You also turn back the edge of his sword And have not made him stand in battle.

44 You have made his splendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.

45 You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.

46 How long, O LORD ? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember what my span of life is; For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

49 Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord , Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

50 Remember, O Lord , the reproach of Your servants; How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O LORD , With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

Psalms 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD , all the earth.

2 Sing to the LORD , bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

3 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the LORD , O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courts.

9 Worship the LORD in holy attire; Tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity."

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains;

12 Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13 Before the LORD , for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness And the peoples in His faithfulness.

Psalms 100

1 Shout joyfully to the LORD , all the earth.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.

3 Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.

Psalms 101

1 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice, To You, O LORD , I will sing praises.

2 I will give heed to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.

7 He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.

8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do iniquity.

Psalms 105

1 Oh give thanks to the LORD , call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.

3 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.

4 Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.

5 Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,

6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

8 He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

10 Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,"

12 When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

13 And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

14 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:

15 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."

16 And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

17 He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;

19 Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.

20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

21 He made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,

22 To imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.

26 He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.

29 He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.

30 Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory.

32 He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory.

34 He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number,

35 And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.

37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.

39 He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to illumine by night.

40 They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

42 For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;

43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

44 He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples' labor,

45 So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise the LORD !

Psalms 132

1 Remember, O LORD , on David's behalf, All his affliction;

2 How he swore to the LORD And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob,

3 "Surely I will not enter my house, Nor lie on my bed ;

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes Or slumber to my eyelids,

5 Until I find a place for the LORD , A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob."

6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah, We found it in the field of Jaar.

7 Let us go into His dwelling place; Let us worship at His footstool .

8 Arise, O LORD , to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your godly ones sing for joy.

10 For the sake of David Your servant, Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.

11 The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: "Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

12 "If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever."

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation.

14 "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15 "I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her needy with bread.

16 "Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy.

17 "There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth; I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.

18 "His enemies I will clothe with shame, But upon himself his crown shall shine."
