89:1  I will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.

89:2  For I have said, "our lovingkindness will last forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness."

89:3  "I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant,

89:4  I will establish your seed forever And build up your throne to all generations." Selah.

89:5  The heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

89:6  For who in the skies compares to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty compares to the LORD,

89:7  A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?

89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who compares to You, O mighty LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

89:9  You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

89:10  You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who suffers destruction; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

89:11  The heavens belong to You, the earth also belongs to You; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.

89:12  The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

89:13  You have a strong arm; Your hand has might, Your right hand commands exaltation.

89:14   Righteousness and justice have become the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

89:15  How You have blessed the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD, they walk in the light of Your countenance.

89:16  In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they receive exaltation.

89:17  For they regard You as the glory of their strength, And You exalt our horn by Your favor.

89:18  For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

89:19  Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, "I have given help to the mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

89:20  "I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

89:21  With whom My hand will find its place; My arm also will strengthen him.

89:22  "The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

89:23  "But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

89:24  "My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will accompany him, And in My name his horn will receive exaltation.

89:25  "I shall also set his hand on the sea And his right hand on the rivers.

89:26  "He will cry to Me, 'I acknowledge You as my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

89:27  "I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

89:28  "My lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall have confirmation in him.

89:29  "So I will establish his descendants forever And his throne as the days of heaven.

89:30  "If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

89:31  If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,

89:32  Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes.

89:33  "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

89:34  "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

89:35  " Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

89:36  "His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me.

89:37  "It shall have security forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky remains faithful." Selah.

89:38  But You have cast off and rejected, You have shown wrath against Your anointed.

89:39  You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.

89:40  You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

89:41   All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

89:42  You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

89:43  You also turn back the edge of his sword And have not made him stand in battle.

89:44  You have made his splendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.

89:45  You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah.

89:46   How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

89:47   Remember what my span of life seems; For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

89:48  What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.

89:49  Where can we see Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

89:50  Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants; How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

89:51  With which Your enemies have reproached, O LORD, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

89:52   We bless the name of the LORD forever!
