Psalm 89 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

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

Psa 89:1An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

Psa 89:2

Psa 89:2For I said, 'To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'

Psa 89:3

Psa 89:3I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:

Psa 89:4

Psa 89:4'Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.

Psa 89:5

Psa 89:5and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones.

Psa 89:6

Psa 89:6For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?

Psa 89:7

Psa 89:7God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

Psa 89:8

Psa 89:8O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

Psa 89:9

Psa 89:9Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

Psa 89:10

Psa 89:10Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.

Psa 89:11

Psa 89:11Thine are the heavens -- the earth also is Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.

Psa 89:12

Psa 89:12North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.

Psa 89:13

Psa 89:13Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.

Psa 89:14

Psa 89:14Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.

Psa 89:15

Psa 89:15O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.

Psa 89:16

Psa 89:16In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,

Psa 89:17

Psa 89:17For the beauty of their strength art Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

Psa 89:18

Psa 89:18For of Jehovah is our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

Psa 89:19

Psa 89:19Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

Psa 89:20

Psa 89:20I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

Psa 89:21

Psa 89:21With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

Psa 89:22

Psa 89:22An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

Psa 89:23

Psa 89:23And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

Psa 89:24

Psa 89:24And My faithfulness and kindness are with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

Psa 89:25

Psa 89:25And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

Psa 89:26

Psa 89:26He proclaimeth me: 'Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

Psa 89:27

Psa 89:27I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

Psa 89:28

Psa 89:28To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant is stedfast with him.

Psa 89:29

Psa 89:29And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

Psa 89:30

Psa 89:30If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

Psa 89:31

Psa 89:31If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

Psa 89:32

Psa 89:32I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

Psa 89:33

Psa 89:33And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

Psa 89:34

Psa 89:34I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

Psa 89:35

Psa 89:35Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

Psa 89:36

Psa 89:36His seed is to the age, And his throne is as the sun before Me,

Psa 89:37

Psa 89:37As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.

Psa 89:38

Psa 89:38And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,

Psa 89:39

Psa 89:39Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,

Psa 89:40

Psa 89:40Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.

Psa 89:41

Psa 89:41Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,

Psa 89:42

Psa 89:42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.

Psa 89:43

Psa 89:43Also -- Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,

Psa 89:44

Psa 89:44Hast caused him to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.

Psa 89:45

Psa 89:45Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over with shame. Selah.

Psa 89:46

Psa 89:46Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

Psa 89:47

Psa 89:47Remember, I pray Thee, what is life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?

Psa 89:48

Psa 89:48Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

Psa 89:49

Psa 89:49Where are Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

Psa 89:50

Psa 89:50Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

Psa 89:51

Psa 89:51Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.

Psa 89:52

Psa 89:52Blessed is Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!
