Psa 89:24

Psa 89:25

Psa 89:25(LXX 88:26) And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

Psa 89:26

Psa 89:26(LXX 88:27) He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.

Psa 89:30

Psa 89:30(LXX 88:31) If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Psa 89:31

Psa 89:32(LXX 88:33) I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.

Psa 89:33

Psa 89:34

Psa 89:34(LXX 88:35) Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips.

Psa 89:35

Psa 89:35(LXX 88:36) Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David.

Psa 89:36

Psa 89:36(LXX 88:37) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;

Psa 89:37

Psa 89:37(LXX 88:38) and as the moon that is established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven. Pause.

Psa 89:38

Psa 89:38(LXX 88:39) But thou hast cast off and set at nought, thou hast rejected thine anointed.

Psa 89:39

Psa 89:39(LXX 88:40) Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his sanctuary, casting it to the ground.

Psa 89:40

Psa 89:40(LXX 88:41) Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast made his strong holds a terror.

Psa 89:41

Psa 89:41(LXX 88:42) All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

Psa 89:42

Psa 89:42(LXX 88:43) Thou hast exalted the right hand of his enemies; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Psa 89:43

Psa 89:43(LXX 88:44) Thou hast turned back the help of his sword, and hast not helped him in the battle.

Psa 89:44

Psa 89:44(LXX 88:45) Thou hast deprived him of [fn]glory: thou hast broken down his throne to the ground.

Psa 89:45

Psa 89:45(LXX 88:46) Thou hast shortened the days of his [fn]throne: thou hast poured shame upon him. Pause.

Psa 89:46

Psa 89:46(LXX 88:47) How long, O Lord, wilt thou turn away, for ever? shall thine anger flame out as fire?

Psa 89:47

Psa 89:47(LXX 88:48) Remember what my being is: for hast thou created all the sons of men in vain?

Psa 89:48

Psa 89:48(LXX 88:49) What man is there who shall live, and not see death? shall any one deliver his soul from the hand of Hades? Pause.

Psa 89:49

Psa 89:49(LXX 88:50) Where are thine ancient mercies, O Lord, which thou swarest to David in thy truth?

Psa 89:50

Psa 89:50(LXX 88:51) Remember, O Lord, the reproach of thy servants, which I have borne in my bosom, even the reproach of many nations;

Psa 89:51

Psa 89:51(LXX 88:52) wherewith thine enemies have reviled, O Lord: wherewith they have reviled the recompence of thine anointed.

Psa 89:52

Psa 89:52(LXX 88:53) Blessed be the Lord for ever. So be it, so be it.
