Psalms 89 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 89 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ I will 1sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever;
To all generations I will 2make known Your 3faithfulness with my mouth. - For I have said, “4Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your 5faithfulness.” - “I have made a covenant with 6My chosen;
I have 7sworn to David My servant, - I will establish your 8seed forever
And build up your 9throne to all generations.” [a]Selah. - ¶ The 10heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD;
Your faithfulness also 11in the assembly of the 12holy ones. - For 13who in the skies is comparable to the LORD?
Who among the [b]14sons of the mighty is like the LORD, - A God 15greatly feared in the council of the 16holy ones,
And 17awesome above all those who are around Him? - O LORD God of hosts, 18who is like You, O mighty [c]LORD?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You. - You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You 19still them. - You Yourself crushed [d]20Rahab like one who is slain;
You 21scattered Your enemies with [e]Your mighty arm. - ¶ The 22heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The 23world and [f]all it contains, You have founded them. - The 24north and the south, You have created them;
25Tabor and 26Hermon 27shout for joy at Your name. - You have [g]a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your 28right hand is exalted. - 29Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
30Lovingkindness and [h]truth go before You. - How blessed are the people who know the [i]31joyful sound!
O LORD, they walk in the 32light of Your countenance. - In 33Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted. - For You are the glory of 34their strength,
And by Your favor [j]our 35horn is exalted. - For our 36shield belongs to the LORD,
[k]And our king to the 37Holy One of Israel. - ¶ [l]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly [m]ones,
And said, “I have [n]given help to one who is 38mighty;
I have exalted one 39chosen from the people. - “I have 40found David My servant;
With My holy 41oil I have anointed him, - With whom 42My hand will be established;
My arm also will 43strengthen him. - “The enemy will not [o]deceive him,
Nor the [p]44son of wickedness afflict him. - “But I shall 45crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him. - “My 46faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him,
And in My name his 47horn will be exalted. - “I shall also set his hand 48on the sea
And his right hand on the rivers. - “He will cry to Me, ‘You are 49my Father,
My God, and the 50rock of my salvation.’ - “I also shall make him My 51firstborn,
The 52highest of the kings of the earth. - “My 53lovingkindness I will keep for him forever,
And My 54covenant shall be confirmed to him. - “So I will establish his [q]55descendants forever
And his 56throne 57as the days of heaven. - ¶ “If his sons 58forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments, - If they [r]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments, - Then I will punish their transgression with the 59rod
And their iniquity with stripes. - “But I will not break off 60My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. - “My 61covenant I will not [s]violate,
Nor will I 62alter [t]the utterance of My lips. - “[u]Once I have 63sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David. - “His [v]64descendants shall endure forever
And his 65throne 66as the sun before Me. - “It shall be established forever 67like the moon,
And the 68witness in the sky is faithful.” [w]Selah. - ¶ But You have 69cast off and 70rejected,
You have been full of wrath [x]against Your 71anointed. - You have 72spurned the covenant of Your servant;
You have 73profaned 74his crown [y]in the dust. - You have 75broken down all his walls;
You have 76brought his strongholds to ruin. - 77All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a 78reproach to his neighbors. - You have 79exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have 80made all his enemies rejoice. - You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have 81not made him stand in battle. - You have made his [z]82splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground. - You have 83shortened the days of his youth;
You have 84covered him with shame. Selah. - ¶ 85How long, O LORD?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your 86wrath burn like fire? - 87Remember [aa]what my span of life is;
For what 88vanity [ab]You have created all the sons of men! - What man can live and not 89see death?
Can he 90deliver his soul from the [ac]power of [ad]Sheol? Selah. - ¶ Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You 91swore to David in Your faithfulness? - Remember, O Lord, the 92reproach of Your servants;
[ae]How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples, - With which 93Your enemies have reproached, O LORD,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of 94Your anointed. - ¶ 95Blessed be the LORD forever!
Amen and Amen.
