Psalm 89 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

For I have said ^H559, “Graciousness ^H2617 will be built ^H1129 up ^H1129 forever ^H5769;

In the heavens ^H8064 You will establish ^H3559 Your faithfulness ^H530.”

“I have made ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with My chosen ^H972;

I have sworn ^H7650 to My servant ^H5650 David ^H1732,

I will establish ^H3559 your [fn]descendants ^H2233 forever ^H5704 H5769

And build ^H1129 up ^H1129 your throne ^H3678 to all ^H1755 generations ^H1755.” Selah ^H5542

The heavens ^H8064 will praise ^H3034 Your wonders ^H6382, LORD ^H3068;

Your faithfulness ^H530 also ^H637 in the assembly ^H6951 of the holy ^H6918 ones ^H6918.

For who ^H4310 in the skies ^H7834 is ^H6186 comparable ^H6186 to the LORD ^H3068?

Who among the [fn]sons ^H1121 of the mighty ^H410 is ^H1819 like ^H1819 the LORD ^H3068,

A God ^H410 greatly ^H7227 feared ^H6206 in the council ^H5475 of the holy ^H6918 ones ^H6918,

And awesome ^H3372 above ^H5921 all ^H3605 those who are around ^H5439 Him?

LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of armies ^H6635, who ^H4310 is like ^H3644 You, mighty ^H2626 [fn]LORD ^H3050?

Your faithfulness ^H530 also surrounds ^H5439 You.

You rule ^H4910 the surging ^H1348 of the sea ^H3220;

When its waves ^H1530 rise ^H5375, You calm ^H7623 them.

You Yourself ^H859 crushed ^H1792 [fn]Rahab ^H7293 like one who is slain ^H2491;

You scattered ^H6340 Your enemies ^H340 with [fn]Your mighty ^H5797 arm ^H2220.

The heavens ^H8064 are Yours, the earth ^H776 also ^H637 is Yours;

The world ^H8398 and [fn]all ^H4393 it contains ^H4393, You have established ^H3245 them.

The north ^H6828 and the south ^H3225, You have created ^H1254 them;

Tabor ^H8396 and Hermon ^H2768 shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442 at Your name ^H8034.

You have [fn]a strong ^H1369 arm ^H2220;

Your hand ^H3027 is ^H5810 mighty ^H5810, Your right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 is exalted ^H7311.

Righteousness ^H6664 and justice ^H4941 are the foundation ^H4349 of Your throne ^H3678;

Mercy ^H2617 and [fn]truth ^H571 go ^H6923 before ^H6923 H6440 You.

Blessed ^H835 are the people ^H5971 who know ^H3045 the [fn]joyful ^H8643 sound ^H8643!

LORD ^H3068, they walk ^H1980 in the light ^H216 of Your face ^H6440.

In Your name ^H8034 they rejoice ^H1523 all ^H3605 the day ^H3117,

And by Your righteousness ^H6666 they are exalted ^H7311.

For You are the glory ^H8597 of their strength ^H5797,

And by Your favor ^H7522 [fn]our horn ^H7161 is exalted ^H7311.

For our shield ^H4043 belongs to the LORD ^H3068,

[fn]And our king ^H4428 to the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478.

[fn]Once ^H227 You spoke ^H1696 in vision ^H2377 to Your godly ^H2623 [fn]ones ^H2623,

And said ^H559, “I have [fn]given ^H7737 help ^H5828 to one who is mighty ^H1368;

I have exalted ^H7311 one chosen ^H977 from the people ^H5971.

“I have found ^H4672 My servant ^H5650 David ^H1732;

With My holy ^H6944 oil ^H8081 I have anointed ^H4886 him,

With whom ^H834 My hand ^H3027 will be established ^H3559;

My arm ^H2220 also ^H637 will strengthen ^H553 him.

“The enemy ^H340 will not [fn]deceive ^H5378 him,

Nor ^H3808 will the [fn]son ^H1121 of wickedness ^H5766 afflict ^H6031 him.

“But I will crush ^H3807 his adversaries ^H6862 before ^H4480 H6440 him,

And strike ^H5062 those who hate ^H8130 him.

“My faithfulness ^H530 and My favor ^H2617 will be with him,

And in My name ^H8034 his horn ^H7161 will be exalted ^H7311.

“I will also place ^H7760 his hand ^H3027 on the sea ^H3220,

And his right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 on the rivers ^H5104.

“He will call ^H7121 to Me, ‘You are my Father ^H1,

My God ^H410, and the rock ^H6697 of my salvation ^H3444.’

“I will also ^H637 make ^H5414 him My firstborn ^H1060,

The highest ^H5945 of the kings ^H4428 of the earth ^H776.

“I will maintain ^H8104 My favor ^H2617 for him forever ^H5769,

And My covenant ^H1285 shall be confirmed ^H539 to him.

“So I will establish ^H7760 his [fn]descendants ^H2233 forever ^H5703,

And his throne ^H3678 as the days ^H3117 of heaven ^H8064.

“If ^H518 his sons ^H1121 abandon ^H5800 My Law ^H8451

And do not walk ^H1980 in My judgments ^H4941,

If ^H518 they [fn]violate ^H2490 My statutes ^H2708

And do not keep ^H8104 My commandments ^H4687,

Then I will punish ^H6485 their wrongdoing ^H6588 with the rod ^H7626,

And their guilt ^H5771 with [fn]afflictions ^H5061.

“But I will not [fn]withhold ^H6565 My favor ^H2617 from him,

Nor ^H3808 deal ^H8266 falsely ^H8266 in My faithfulness ^H530.

“I will not [fn]violate ^H2490 My covenant ^H1285,

Nor ^H3808 will I alter ^H8132 [fn]the utterance ^H4161 of My lips ^H8193.

“[fn]Once ^H259 I have sworn ^H7650 by My holiness ^H6944;

I will not lie ^H3576 to David ^H1732.

“His [fn]descendants ^H2233 shall endure ^H1961 forever ^H5769,

And his throne ^H3678 as the sun ^H8121 before ^H5048 Me.

“It shall be established ^H3559 forever ^H5769 like the moon ^H3394,

And a witness ^H5707 in the sky ^H7834 is faithful ^H539.” Selah ^H5542

But You have rejected ^H2186 and refused ^H3988,

You have been ^H5674 full ^H5674 of ^H5674 wrath ^H5674 [fn]against ^H5973 Your anointed ^H4899.

You have [fn]repudiated ^H5010 the covenant ^H1285 of Your servant ^H5650;

You have profaned ^H2490 his crown ^H5145 [fn]in the dust ^H776.

You have broken ^H6555 down ^H6555 all ^H3605 his walls ^H1448;

You have brought ^H7760 his strongholds ^H4013 to ruin ^H4288.

All ^H3605 who pass ^H5674 along ^H5674 the way ^H1870 plunder ^H8155 him;

He has become ^H1961 a disgrace ^H2781 to his neighbors ^H7934.

You have exalted ^H7311 the right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 of his adversaries ^H6862;

You have made all ^H3605 his enemies ^H340 rejoice ^H8055.

You also ^H637 turn ^H7725 back ^H7725 the edge ^H6864 of his sword ^H2719,

And have not made him stand ^H6965 in battle ^H4421.

You have put ^H7673 an ^H7673 end ^H7673 to his [fn]splendor ^H2892

And cast ^H4048 his throne ^H3678 to the ground ^H776.

You have shortened ^H7114 the days ^H3117 of his youth ^H5934;

You have covered ^H5844 him with shame ^H955. Selah ^H5542

How ^H4100 long ^H5704, LORD ^H3068?

Will You hide ^H5641 Yourself forever ^H5331?

Will Your wrath ^H2534 burn ^H1197 like ^H3644 fire ^H784?

Remember ^H2142 [fn]what ^H4100 my lifespan ^H2465 is;

For what ^H4100 futility ^H7723 [fn]You have created ^H1254 all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of mankind ^H120!

What ^H4310 man ^H1397 can live ^H2421 and not see ^H7200 death ^H4194?

Can he save ^H4422 his soul ^H5315 from the [fn]power ^H3027 of [fn]Sheol ^H7585? Selah ^H5542

Where ^H346 are Your former ^H7223 acts ^H2617 of ^H2617 favor ^H2617, Lord ^H136,

Which You swore ^H7650 to David ^H1732 in Your faithfulness ^H530?

Remember ^H2142, Lord ^H136, the taunt ^H2781 against Your servants ^H5650;

[fn]How I carry ^H5375 in my heart ^H2436 the taunts of all ^H3605 the many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971,

With which ^H834 Your enemies ^H340 have taunted ^H2778, LORD ^H3068,

With which ^H834 they have taunted ^H2778 the footsteps ^H6119 of Your anointed ^H4899.

Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 forever ^H5769!

Amen ^H543 and Amen ^H543.
