Psalms 89

KJV

NLT

1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
1 I will sing of the LORD ’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
2 Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
3 The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him:
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
4 ‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
5 All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD ; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
6 For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD ? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD ?
7 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.
7 The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
8 O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD ? You are entirely faithful.
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
9 You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves.
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
10 You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
11 The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours—you created it all.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
12 You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
13 Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
15 Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD .
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
16 They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
17 You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong.
18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
18 Yes, our protection comes from the LORD, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.
19 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.
19 Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, “I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
20 I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
21 I will steady him with my hand; with my powerful arm I will make him strong.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
22 His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
24 My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
25 I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
26 And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
27 I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
28 I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
29 I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
30 But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
31 if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
33 But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
34 No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
35 I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie:
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
36 His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
37 It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!” Interlude
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
38 But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
39 You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
40 You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
41 Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
42 You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
43 You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.
44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
44 You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne.
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
45 You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude
46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
46 O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
47 Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
48 No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude
49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
49 Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
50 Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.
51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
51 Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD ; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.
52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
52 Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
