Pss.89
[1] 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 had in reverence
of 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 fulness 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 favour our horn shall be exalted.
[18] For
the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is 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.
[20]
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
[21] With whom my hand shall be
established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
[22] The enemy shall not exact upon 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 in the sea, and his right hand in 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 suffer my faithfulness to fail.
[34] My
covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is 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 forever, and his throne as the sun before
me.
[37] It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in 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 strong holds to ruin.
[41] All that pass by the way spoil him: he
is a reproach to his neighbours.
[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: wherefore 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 swarest unto David in thy truth?
[50] Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do
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.
Pss.90
[1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
[2] Before the mountains were brought
forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
