Psalms 89

¹AN INSTRUCTION OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. Of the kind acts of YHWH, I sing for all time, From generation to generation I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth,

²For I said, “Kindness is built for all time, The heavens! You establish Your faithfulness in them.”

³I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:

⁴“Even for all time I establish your seed, And have built your throne to generation and generation.” Selah.

⁵And the heavens confess Your wonders, O YHWH, Your faithfulness is also in an assembly of holy ones.

⁶For who in the sky, compares himself to YHWH? Who is like to YHWH among sons of the mighty?

⁷God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

⁸O YHWH, God of Hosts, Who is like You—a strong YAH? And Your faithfulness is around You.

⁹You are ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows You restrain them.

¹⁰You have bruised Rahab, as one wounded. You have scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength.

¹¹The heavens are Yours, The earth is also Yours, The habitable world and its fullness, You have founded them.

¹²North and south You have appointed them, Tabor and Hermon sing in Your Name.

¹³You have an arm with might, Strong is Your hand—high Your right hand.

¹⁴Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Your throne, Kindness and truth go before Your face.

¹⁵O the blessedness of the people knowing the shout, O YHWH, they habitually walk in the light of Your face.

¹⁶They rejoice in Your Name all the day, And they are exalted in Your righteousness,

¹⁷For You are the beauty of their strength, And in Your good will is our horn exalted,

¹⁸For our shield is of YHWH, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Then You have spoken in vision, To Your saint, indeed, You say, I have placed help on a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

²⁰I have found My servant David, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

²¹With whom My hand is established, My arm also strengthens him.

²²An enemy does not exact on him, And a son of perverseness does not afflict him.

²³And I have beaten down his adversaries before him, And I plague those hating him,

²⁴And My faithfulness and kindness are with him, And in My Name is his horn exalted.

²⁵And I have set his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶He proclaims to Me: “You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.”

²⁷I also appoint him firstborn, Highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸For all time I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant is steadfast with him.

²⁹And I have set his seed forever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

³⁰If his sons forsake My law, And do not walk in My judgments;

³¹If they defile My statutes, And do not keep My commands,

³²I have looked after their transgression with a rod, And their iniquity with strokes,

³³And I do not break My kindness from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

³⁴I do not profane My covenant, And I do not change that which is going forth from My lips.

³⁵Once I have sworn by My holiness, I do not lie to David,

³⁶His seed is for all time, And his throne is as the sun before Me,

³⁷It is established as the moon for all time, And the witness in the sky is steadfast. Selah.

³⁸And You, You have cast off, and reject, You have shown Yourself angry with Your anointed,

³⁹Have rejected the covenant of Your servant, You have defiled his crown to the earth,

⁴⁰You have broken down all his hedges, You have made his fortifications a ruin.

⁴¹Everyone passing by the way has spoiled him, He has been a reproach to his neighbors,

⁴²You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries, You have caused all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³Also—You turn back the sharpness of his sword, And have not established him in battle,

⁴⁴Have caused him to cease from his brightness, And have cast down his throne to the earth.

⁴⁵You have shortened the days of his youth, Have covered him over with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶Until when, O YHWH, are You hidden? Does Your fury burn as fire forever?

⁴⁷Remember how short my lifetime is. Why have You created in vain All the sons of men?

⁴⁸Who is the man that lives, and does not see death? He delivers his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

⁴⁹Where are Your former kindnesses, O Lord, Which You have sworn to David in Your faithfulness?

⁵⁰Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

⁵¹With which Your enemies reproached, O YHWH, With which they have reproached The steps of Your anointed.

⁵²Blessed is YHWH for all time. Amen and amen!
