Psalm 89

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<A maskil by Etan, the Ezrachite.>> I will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

2 I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them."

3 "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, 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, LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

7 A very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, To be feared above all those who are around him?

8 LORD, God Tzva'ot, who is a mighty one, like you? The LORD, your faithfulness is around you.

9 You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

10 You have broken Rachav in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are yours, the eretz also is yours; The world and its fullness. You have founded them.

12 The north and the south, you have created them. Tavor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

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

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Lovingkindness and truth go before your face.

15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

16 In your name do they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.

17 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the LORD; Our king to the Holy One of Yisra'el.

19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy ones, And said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

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

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

22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

24 But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.

25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

26 He will call to me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'

27 I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the kings of the eretz.

28 I will keep my lovingkindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

29 I will also make his seed endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;

31 If they break my statutes, And don't keep my mitzvot;

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

33 But I will not completely take my lovingkindness from him, Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

34 I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what my lips have uttered.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

36 His seed will endure forever, His throne like the sun before me.

37 It will be established forever like the moon, The faithful witness in the sky." Selah.

38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.

39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

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

41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

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

43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, And haven't supported him in battle.

44 You have ended his splendor, And thrown his throne down to the ground.

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

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

47 Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

48 What man is he who shall live and not see death, Who shall deliver his soul from the power of She'ol? Selah.

49 Lord, where are your former lovingkindnesses, Which you swore to David in your faithfulness?

50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, How I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,

51 With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, With which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.

52 Blessed be the LORD forevermore. Amein, and Amein.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are.

2 I'll never quit telling the story of your love - how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world.

3 You once said, "I joined forces with my chosen leader, I pledged my word to my servant, David, saying,

4 'Everyone descending from you is guaranteed life; I'll make your rule as solid and lasting as rock.'"

5 God! Let the cosmos praise your wonderful ways, the choir of holy angels sing anthems to your faithful ways!

6 Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like God.

7 The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him.

8 God of the Angel Armies, who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle?

9 You put the arrogant ocean in its place and calm its waves when they turn unruly.

10 You gave that old hag Egypt the back of your hand, you brushed off your enemies with a flick of your wrist.

11 You own the cosmos - you made everything in it, everything from atom to archangel.

12 You positioned the North and South Poles; the mountains Tabor and Hermon sing duets to you.

13 With your well-muscled arm and your grip of steel - nobody trifles with you!

14 The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits.

15 Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.

16 Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do - they can't keep it quiet!

17 Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us - you've been so good to us! We're walking on air!

18 All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!

19 A long time ago you spoke in a vision, you spoke to your faithful beloved: "I've crowned a hero, I chose the best I could find;

20 I found David, my servant, poured holy oil on his head,

21 And I'll keep my hand steadily on him, yes, I'll stick with him through thick and thin.

22 No enemy will get the best of him, no scoundrel will do him in.

23 I'll weed out all who oppose him, I'll clean out all who hate him.

24 I'm with him for good and I'll love him forever; I've set him on high - he's riding high!

25 I've put Ocean in his one hand, River in the other;

26 he'll call out, 'Oh, my Father - my God, my Rock of Salvation!'

27 Yes, I'm setting him apart as the First of the royal line, High King over all of earth's kings.

28 I'll preserve him eternally in my love, I'll faithfully do all I so solemnly promised.

29 I'll guarantee his family tree and underwrite his rule.

30 If his children refuse to do what I tell them, if they refuse to walk in the way I show them,

31 If they spit on the directions I give them and tear up the rules I post for them

32 - I'll rub their faces in the dirt of their rebellion and make them face the music.

33 But I'll never throw them out, never abandon or disown them.

34 Do you think I'd withdraw my holy promise? or take back words I'd already spoken?

35 I've given my word, my whole and holy word; do you think I would lie to David?

36 His family tree is here for good, his sovereignty as sure as the sun,

37 Dependable as the phases of the moon, inescapable as weather."

38 But God, you did walk off and leave us, you lost your temper with the one you anointed.

39 You tore up the promise you made to your servant, you stomped his crown in the mud.

40 You blasted his home to kingdom come, reduced his city to a pile of rubble

41 Picked clean by wayfaring strangers, a joke to all the neighbors.

42 You declared a holiday for all his enemies, and they're celebrating for all they're worth.

43 Angry, you opposed him in battle, refused to fight on his side;

44 You robbed him of his splendor, humiliated this warrior, ground his kingly honor in the dirt.

45 You took the best years of his life and left him an impotent, ruined husk.

46 How long do we put up with this, God? Are you gone for good? Will you hold this grudge forever?

47 Remember my sorrow and how short life is. Did you create men and women for nothing but this?

48 We'll see death soon enough. Everyone does. And there's no back door out of hell.

49 So where is the love you're so famous for, Lord? What happened to your promise to David?

50 Take a good look at your servant, dear Lord; I'm the butt of the jokes of all nations,

51 The taunting jokes of your enemies, God, as they dog the steps of your dear anointed.

52 Blessed be God forever and always! Yes. Oh, yes.
