Psalm 89

New Revised Standard NRS

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.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.> My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.

2 For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.

3 I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;

4 I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

5 In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

6 For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?

7 God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

8 O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.

9 You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.

10 Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

11 Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.

12 You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.

13 Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.

14 The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

15 Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.

16 In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.

17 For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.

18 For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.

19 Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.

20 I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

21 My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.

22 The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

23 I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

24 But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.

25 I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26 He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

27 And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

28 I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

29 His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

30 If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;

31 If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;

32 Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

33 But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

34 I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.

35 I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.

36 His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

37 It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)

38 But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.

39 You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.

40 All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.

41 All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.

42 You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

43 His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.

44 You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.

45 You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)

46 How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

47 See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?

48 What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)

49 Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?

50 Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

51 The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.

52 Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
