Psalms 89

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 <<A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction.>> I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.

2 For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness shalt Thou establish in the very heavens."

3 "I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:

4 `Thy Seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.'" Selah

5 And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

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?

7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all them that are about Him.

8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto Thee? Or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?

9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered Thine enemies with Thy strong arm.

11 The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine; as for the world and the fullness thereof, Thou hast founded them.

12 The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy name.

13 Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is Thy hand, and high is Thy right hand.

14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne; mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.

15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound! They shall walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance.

16 In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day, and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

17 For Thou art the glory of their strength, and in Thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

18 For the LORD is our defense, and the Holy One of Israel is our King.

19 Then Thou didst speak in a vision to Thy holy one and said, "I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

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

21 With him My hand shall be established; Mine arm shall also strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name shall his horn be exalted.

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

26 He shall cry unto Me, `Thou art 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.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His Seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake My law and walk not in My judgments,

31 if they break My statutes and keep not My commandments,

32 then will I visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor permit My faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the things which have gone out of My lips.

35 Once have I sworn by My holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36 His Seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the heaven." Selah

38 But Thou hast cast off and abhorred; Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.

39 Thou hast made void the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All that pass by the way despoil him; he is a reproach to his neighbors.

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45 The days of his youth hast Thou shortened, Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, LORD? Wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? Shall Thy wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my time is; why hast Thou made all men in vain?

48 What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah

49 Lord, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses, which Thou hast sworn unto David in Thy truth?

50 Remember, Lord, the reproach against Thy servants" how I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people

51 wherewith Thine enemies have reproached, O LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of Thine anointed.

52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore! Amen and Amen.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 I will sing forever about the evidence of your mercy, O LORD. I will tell about your faithfulness to every generation.

2 I said, "Your mercy will last forever. Your faithfulness stands firm in the heavens."

3 [You said,] "I have made a promise to my chosen one. I swore this oath to my servant David:

4 'I will make your dynasty continue forever. I built your throne to last throughout every generation.'" Selah

5 O LORD, the heavens praise your miracles and your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

7 God is terrifying in the council of the holy ones. He is greater and more awe-inspiring than those who surround him.

8 O LORD God of Armies, who is like you? Mighty LORD, even your faithfulness surrounds you.

9 You rule the raging sea. When its waves rise, you quiet them.

10 You crushed Rahab; it was like a corpse. With your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11 The heavens are yours. The earth is also yours. You made the world and everything in it.

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

13 Your arm is mighty. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is lifted high.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne. Mercy and truth stand in front of you.

15 Blessed are the people who know how to praise you. They walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.

16 They find joy in your name all day long. They are joyful in your righteousness

17 because you are the glory of their strength. By your favor you give us victory.

18 Our shield belongs to the LORD. Our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once in a vision you said to your faithful ones: "I set a boy above warriors. I have raised up one chosen from the people.

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

21 My hand is ready to help him. My arm will also give him strength.

22 No enemy will take him by surprise. No wicked person will mistreat him.

23 I will crush his enemies in front of him and defeat those who hate him.

24 My faithfulness and mercy will be with him, and in my name he will be victorious.

25 I will put his [left] hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

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

27 Yes, I will make him the firstborn. He will be the Most High to the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will stay with him forever. My promise to him is unbreakable.

29 I will make his dynasty endure forever and his throne like the days of heaven.

30 "If his descendants abandon my teachings and do not live by my rules,

31 if they violate my laws and do not obey my commandments,

32 then with a rod I will punish their rebellion and their crimes with beatings.

33 But I will not take my mercy away from him or allow my truth to become a lie.

34 I will not dishonor my promise or alter my own agreement.

35 On my holiness I have taken an oath once and for all: I will not lie to David.

36 His dynasty will last forever. His throne will be in my presence like the sun.

37 Like the moon his throne will stand firm forever. It will be like a faithful witness in heaven."

38 But you have despised, rejected, and become angry with your anointed one.

39 You have refused to recognize the promise to your servant and have thrown his crown into the dirt.

40 You have broken through all his walls and have laid his fortified cities in ruins.

41 (Everyone who passed by robbed him. He has become the object of his neighbors' scorn.)

42 You held the right hand of his enemies high and made all of his adversaries rejoice.

43 You even took his sword out of his hand and failed to support him in battle.

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

45 You cut short the days of his youth and covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger continue to burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my life is! Have you created Adam's descendants for no reason?

48 Can a mortal go on living and never see death? Who can set himself free from the power of the grave? Selah

49 Where is the evidence of your mercy, Lord? You swore an oath to David on [the basis of] your faithfulness.

50 Remember, O LORD, how your servant has been insulted. Remember how I have carried in my heart [the insults] from so many people.

51 Your enemies insulted [me]. They insulted your Messiah every step he took.

52 Thank the LORD forever. Amen and amen!
