Psalms 89

Common English Bible CEB

1 I will sing of the LORD's loyal love forever. I will proclaim your faithfulness with my own mouth from one generation to the next.

2 That's why I say, "Your loyal love is rightly built—forever! You establish your faithfulness in heaven."

3 You said,"I made a covenant with my chosen one; I promised my servant David:

4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever; I will build up your throne from one generation to the next.'" Selah

5 Heaven thanks you for your wondrous acts, LORD— for your faithfulness too— in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 Is there any in the sky who could compare to the LORD? Who among the gods is equal to the LORD?

7 God is respected in the council of the holy ones; God is awesome and revered more than all those around him.

8 Who is like you, LORD God of heavenly forces? Mighty LORD, your faithfulness surrounds you!

9 You rule over the surging sea: When its waves rise up, it's you who makes them still.

10 It's you who crushed Rahab like a dead body; you scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

11 Heaven is yours! The earth too! The world and all that fills it— you made all of it! North and south—you created them!

12 The mountains Tabor and Hermon shout praises to your name.

13 You have a powerful arm; your hand is strong; your strong hand is raised high!

14 Your throne is built on righteousness and justice; loyal love and faithfulness stand in front of you.

15 The people who know the celebratory shout are truly happy! They walk in the light of your presence, LORD!

16 They rejoice in your name all day long and are uplifted by your righteousness

17 because you are the splendor of their strength. By your favor you make us strong

18 because our shield is the LORD's own; our king belongs to the holy one of Israel!

19 Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servants: I placed a crown on a strong man. I raised up someone specially chosen from the people.

20 I discovered my servant David. I anointed him with my holy oil.

21 My hand will sustain him— yes, my arm will strengthen him!

22 No enemy will oppress him; no wicked person will make him suffer.

23 I will crush all his foes in front of him. I will strike down all those who hate him.

24 My faithfulness and my loyal love will be with him. He will be strengthened by my name.

25 I will set his hand on the sea. I will set his strong hand on the rivers.

26 He will cry out to me: "You are my father, my God, the rock of my salvation."

27 Yes, I'll make him the one born first— I'll make him the high king of all earth's kings.

28 I will always guard my loyal love toward him. My covenant with him will last forever.

29 I will establish his dynasty for all time. His throne will last as long as heaven does.

30 But if his children ever abandon my Instruction, stop following my rules—

31 if they treat my statutes like dirt, stop keeping my commandments—

32 then I will punish their sin with a stick, and I will punish their wrongdoing with a severe beating.

33 But even then I won't withdraw my loyal love from him. I won't betray my faithfulness.

34 I won't break my covenant. I won't renege on what crossed my lips.

35 By my own holiness I've sworn one thing: I will not lie to David.

36 His dynasty will last forever. His throne will be like the sun, always before me.

37 It will be securely established forever; like the moon, a faithful witness in the sky. Selah

38 But you, God, have rejected and despised him. You've become infuriated with your anointed one.

39 You've canceled the covenant with your servant. You've thrown his crown in the dirt.

40 You've broken through all his walls. You've made his strongholds a pile of ruins.

41 All those who pass by plunder him. He's nothing but a joke to his neighbors.

42 You lifted high his foes' strong hand. You gave all his enemies reason to celebrate.

43 Yes, you dulled the edge of his sword and didn't support him in battle.

44 You've put an end to his splendor. You've thrown his throne to the ground.

45 You've shortened the prime of his life. You've wrapped him up in shame. Selah

46 How long will it last, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my life is! Have you created humans for no good reason?

48 Who lives their life without seeing death? Who is ever rescued from the grip of the grave? Selah

49 Where now are your loving acts from long ago, my Lord— the same ones you promised to David by your own faithfulness?

50 Remember your servant's abuse, my Lord! Remember how I bear in my heart all the insults of the nations,

51 the ones your enemies, LORD, use— the ones they use to abuse every step your anointed one takes.

52 Bless the LORD forever! Amen and Amen!

1 I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.

2 I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

3 You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to my servant David:

4 "I will establish your descendants forever, and build your throne for all generations.' " (Selah)

5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,

7 a God feared in the council of the holy ones, great and awesome above all that are around him?

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.

10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it—you have founded them.

12 The north and the south —you created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.

13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

15 Happy are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance;

16 they exult in your name all day long, and extol your righteousness.

17 For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.

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

19 Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said: "I have set the crown on one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

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

21 my hand shall always remain with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him.

23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.

24 My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him; and in my name his horn shall be exalted.

25 I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

26 He shall cry to me, "You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!'

27 I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

28 Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm.

29 I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances,

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 scourges;

33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness.

34 I will not violate my covenant, or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

35 Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

36 His line shall continue forever, and his throne endure before me like the sun.

37 It shall be established forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the skies." (Selah)

38 But now you have spurned and rejected him; you are full of wrath against your anointed.

39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.

40 You have broken through all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

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

43 Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not supported him in battle.

44 You have removed the scepter from his hand, and hurled his throne to the ground.

45 You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. (Selah)

46 How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my time is— for what vanity you have created all mortals!

48 Who can live and never see death? Who can escape the power of Sheol? (Selah)

49 Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?

50 Remember, O Lord, how your servant is taunted; how I bear in my bosom the insults of the peoples,

51 with which your enemies taunt, O Lord, with which they taunted the footsteps of your anointed.

52 Blessed be the Lord forever. Amen and Amen.
