Psalm 89 :: New English Translation (NET)

The LORD'S Covenant with David, and Israel's Afflictions.

Psa 89:1I will sing continually about the LORD's faithful deeds; to future generations I will proclaim your faithfulness.

Psa 89:2

Psa 89:2For I say, "Loyal love is permanently established; in the skies you set up your faithfulness."

Psa 89:3

Psa 89:3The LORD said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

Psa 89:4

Psa 89:4'I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.'" (Selah)

Psa 89:5

Psa 89:5O LORD, the heavens praise your amazing deeds, as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly.

Psa 89:6

Psa 89:6For who in the skies can compare to the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings,

Psa 89:7

Psa 89:7a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him?

Psa 89:8

Psa 89:8O LORD, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

Psa 89:9

Psa 89:9You rule over the proud sea. When its waves surge, you calm them.

Psa 89:10

Psa 89:10You crushed the Proud One and killed it; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

Psa 89:11

Psa 89:11The heavens belong to you, as does the earth. You made the world and all it contains.

Psa 89:12

Psa 89:12You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

Psa 89:13

Psa 89:13Your arm is powerful, your hand strong, your right hand victorious.

Psa 89:14

Psa 89:14Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.

Psa 89:15

Psa 89:15How blessed are the people who worship you! O LORD, they experience your favor.

Psa 89:16

Psa 89:16They rejoice in your name all day long, and are vindicated by your justice.

Psa 89:17

Psa 89:17For you give them splendor and strength. By your favor we are victorious.

Psa 89:18

Psa 89:18For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Psa 89:19

Psa 89:19Then you spoke through a vision to your faithful followers and said: "I have energized a warrior; I have raised up a young man from the people.

Psa 89:20

Psa 89:20I have discovered David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.

Psa 89:21

Psa 89:21My hand will support him, and my arm will strengthen him.

Psa 89:22

Psa 89:22No enemy will be able to exact tribute from him; a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him.

Psa 89:23

Psa 89:23I will crush his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.

Psa 89:24

Psa 89:24He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, and by my name he will win victories.

Psa 89:25

Psa 89:25I will place his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

Psa 89:26

Psa 89:26He will call out to me, 'You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.'

Psa 89:27

Psa 89:27I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, the most exalted of the earth's kings.

Psa 89:28

Psa 89:28I will always extend my loyal love to him, and my covenant with him is secure.

Psa 89:29

Psa 89:29I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.

Psa 89:30

Psa 89:30If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,

Psa 89:31

Psa 89:31if they break my rules and do not keep my commandments,

Psa 89:32

Psa 89:32I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club, their sin by inflicting them with bruises.

Psa 89:33

Psa 89:33But I will not remove my loyal love from him, nor be unfaithful to my promise.

Psa 89:34

Psa 89:34I will not break my covenant or go back on what I promised.

Psa 89:35

Psa 89:35Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.

Psa 89:36

Psa 89:36His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun,

Psa 89:37

Psa 89:37it will remain stable, like the moon, his throne will endure like the skies." (Selah)

Psa 89:38

Psa 89:38But you have spurned and rejected him; you are angry with your chosen king.

Psa 89:39

Psa 89:39You have repudiated your covenant with your servant; you have thrown his crown to the ground.

Psa 89:40

Psa 89:40You have broken down all his walls; you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins.

Psa 89:41

Psa 89:41All who pass by have robbed him; he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.

Psa 89:42

Psa 89:42You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, and all his enemies to rejoice.

Psa 89:43

Psa 89:43You turn back his sword from the adversary, and have not sustained him in battle.

Psa 89:44

Psa 89:44You have brought to an end his splendor, and have knocked his throne to the ground.

Psa 89:45

Psa 89:45You have cut short his youth, and have covered him with shame. (Selah)

Psa 89:46

Psa 89:46How long, O LORD, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

Psa 89:47

Psa 89:47Take note of my brief lifespan! Why do you make all people so mortal?

Psa 89:48

Psa 89:48No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)

Psa 89:49

Psa 89:49Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

Psa 89:50

Psa 89:50Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted, and of how I must bear so many insults from people!

Psa 89:51

Psa 89:51Your enemies, O LORD, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.

Psa 89:52

Psa 89:52The LORD deserves praise forevermore! We agree! We agree!
