4.8 KiB
I Will Sing of the Steadfast Love of the LORD
Chapter 89
-
I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
-
For I said, "Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness."
-
You have said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:
-
'I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.'" Selah
-
Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
-
For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
-
a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
-
O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you?
-
You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.
-
You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
-
The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.
-
The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.
-
You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.
-
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
-
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face,
-
who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted.
-
For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.
-
For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
-
Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: "I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
-
I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him,
-
so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.
-
The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him.
-
I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
-
My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
-
I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
-
He shall cry to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.'
-
And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
-
My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.
-
I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.
-
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,
-
if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,
-
then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes,
-
but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.
-
I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
-
Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.
-
His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me.
-
Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies." Selah
-
But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.
-
You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.
-
You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
-
All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
-
You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
-
You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle.
-
You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground.
-
You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
-
How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
-
Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
-
What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
-
Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?
-
Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,
-
with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.
-
Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
