89:1   O LORD, I will always sing of your constant love; I will proclaim your faithfulness forever.

89:2   I know that your love will last for all time, that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.

89:3   You said, "I have made a covenant with the man I chose; I have promised my servant David,

89:4   'A descendant of yours will always be king; I will preserve your dynasty forever.' "

89:5   The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do; the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, LORD.

89:6   No one in heaven is like you, LORD; none of the heavenly beings is your equal.

89:7   You are feared in the council of the holy ones; they all stand in awe of you.

89:8   LORD God Almighty, none is as mighty as you; in all things you are faithful, O LORD.

89:9   You rule over the powerful sea; you calm its angry waves.

89:10   You crushed the monster Rahab and killed it; with your mighty strength you defeated your enemies.

89:11   Heaven is yours, the earth also; you made the world and everything in it.

89:12   You created the north and the south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing to you for joy.

89:13   How powerful you are! How great is your strength!

89:14   Your kingdom is founded on righteousness and justice; love and faithfulness are shown in all you do.

89:15   How happy are the people who worship you with songs, who live in the light of your kindness!

89:16   Because of you they rejoice all day long, and they praise you for your goodness.

89:17   You give us great victories; in your love you make us triumphant.

89:18   You, O LORD, chose our protector; you, the Holy God of Israel, gave us our king.

89:19   In a vision long ago you said to your faithful servants, "I have given help to a famous soldier; I have given the throne to one I chose from the people.

89:20   I have made my servant David king by anointing him with holy oil.

89:21   My strength will always be with him, my power will make him strong.

89:22   His enemies will never succeed against him; the wicked will not defeat him.

89:23   I will crush his foes and kill everyone who hates him.

89:24   I will love him and be loyal to him; I will make him always victorious.

89:25   I will extend his kingdom from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates River.

89:26   He will say to me, 'You are my father and my God; you are my protector and savior.'

89:27   I will make him my first-born son, the greatest of all kings.

89:28   I will always keep my promise to him, and my covenant with him will last forever.

89:29   His dynasty will be as permanent as the sky; a descendant of his will always be king.

89:30   "But if his descendants disobey my law and do not live according to my commands,

89:31   if they disregard my instructions and do not keep my commandments,

89:32   then I will punish them for their sins; I will make them suffer for their wrongs.

89:33   But I will not stop loving David or fail to keep my promise to him.

89:34   I will not break my covenant with him or take back even one promise I made him.

89:35   "Once and for all I have promised by my holy name: I will never lie to David.

89:36   He will always have descendants, and I will watch over his kingdom as long as the sun shines.

89:37   It will be as permanent as the moon, that faithful witness in the sky."

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

89:39   You have broken your covenant with your servant and thrown his crown in the dirt.

89:40   You have torn down the walls of his city and left his forts in ruins.

89:41   All who pass by steal his belongings; all his neighbors laugh at him.

89:42   You have given the victory to his enemies; you have made them all happy.

89:43   You have made his weapons useless and let him be defeated in battle.

89:44   You have taken away his royal scepter and knocked his throne to the ground.

89:45   You have made him old before his time and covered him with disgrace.

89:46   LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

89:47   Remember how short my life is; remember that you created all of us mortal!

89:48   Who can live and never die? How can we humans keep ourselves from the grave?

89:49   Lord, where are the former proofs of your love? Where are the promises you made to David?

89:50   Don't forget how I, your servant, am insulted, how I endure all the curses of the heathen.

89:51   Your enemies insult your chosen king, O LORD! They insult him wherever he goes.

89:52   Praise the LORD forever! Amen! Amen!
