Psalm 89 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 89:1

Psa 89:1<Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite.> My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.

Psa 89:2

Psa 89:2For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.

Psa 89:3

Psa 89:3I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;

Psa 89:4

Psa 89:4I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

Psa 89:5

Psa 89:5In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

Psa 89:6

Psa 89:6For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?

Psa 89:7

Psa 89:7God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

Psa 89:8

Psa 89:8O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.

Psa 89:9

Psa 89:9You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.

Psa 89:10

Psa 89:10Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.

Psa 89:11

Psa 89:11Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.

Psa 89:12

Psa 89:12You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.

Psa 89:13

Psa 89:13Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.

Psa 89:14

Psa 89:14The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.

Psa 89:15

Psa 89:15Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.

Psa 89:16

Psa 89:16In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.

Psa 89:17

Psa 89:17For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.

Psa 89:18

Psa 89:18For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.

Psa 89:19

Psa 89:19Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.

Psa 89:20

Psa 89:20I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

Psa 89:21

Psa 89:21My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.

Psa 89:22

Psa 89:22The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

Psa 89:23

Psa 89:23I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

Psa 89:24

Psa 89:24But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.

Psa 89:25

Psa 89:25I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Psa 89:26

Psa 89:26He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

Psa 89:27

Psa 89:27And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

Psa 89:28

Psa 89:28I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

Psa 89:29

Psa 89:29His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

Psa 89:30

Psa 89:30If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;

Psa 89:31

Psa 89:31If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;

Psa 89:32

Psa 89:32Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

Psa 89:33

Psa 89:33But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

Psa 89:34

Psa 89:34I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.

Psa 89:35

Psa 89:35I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.

Psa 89:36

Psa 89:36His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

Psa 89:37

Psa 89:37It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)

Psa 89:38

Psa 89:38But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.

Psa 89:39

Psa 89:39You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.

Psa 89:40

Psa 89:40All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.

Psa 89:41

Psa 89:41All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.

Psa 89:42

Psa 89:42You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

Psa 89:43

Psa 89:43His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.

Psa 89:44

Psa 89:44You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.

Psa 89:45

Psa 89:45You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)

Psa 89:46

Psa 89:46How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?

Psa 89:47

Psa 89:47See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?

Psa 89:48

Psa 89:48What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah.)

Psa 89:49

Psa 89:49Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?

Psa 89:50

Psa 89:50Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;

Psa 89:51

Psa 89:51The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.

Psa 89:52

Psa 89:52Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
