Psalms 89

New International Version NIV

1 I will sing of the LORD’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.

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

4 ‘I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.’ ”

5 The heavens praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings?

7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.

8 Who is like you, LORD God Almighty? You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

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

12 You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.

13 Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.

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

15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

16 They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.

17 For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.

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

19 Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: “I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people.

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

21 My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.

22 The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him.

23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.

24 My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.

25 I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’

27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

28 I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.

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

30 “If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,

31 if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;

33 but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.

34 I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

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

36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;

37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”

38 But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.

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

40 You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.

41 All who pass by have plundered 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 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.

44 You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.

45 You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.

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

47 Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!

48 Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?

49 Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?

50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,

51 the taunts with which your enemies, LORD, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.

52 Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

New Living Translation NLT

1 I will sing of the LORD ’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.

2 Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

3 The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him:

4 ‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude

5 All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD ; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.

6 For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD ? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD ?

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 Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD ? You are entirely faithful.

9 You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves.

10 You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours—you created it all.

12 You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name.

13 Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.

15 Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD .

16 They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness.

17 You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong.

18 Yes, our protection comes from the LORD, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.

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 my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.

21 I will steady him with my hand; with my powerful arm I will make him strong.

22 His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.

23 I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

24 My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power.

25 I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers.

26 And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

27 I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth.

28 I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end.

29 I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven.

30 But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,

31 if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating.

33 But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him.

34 No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.

35 I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie:

36 His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.

37 It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!” Interlude

38 But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king.

39 You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust.

40 You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him.

41 Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

42 You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice.

43 You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.

44 You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne.

45 You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude

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 life is, how empty and futile this human existence!

48 No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude

49 Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.

50 Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

51 Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD ; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

52 Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
