189:1 Ps. 101:1I will sing of 89:1 ver. 14, 24, 28, 33, 49; [Isa. 55:3] the steadfast love of the Lord forever;

with my mouth I will make known your 89:1 ver. 5, 8, 24, 33, 49; Ps. 88:11; 119:90faithfulness to all generations.

2For I said, 89:2 [See ver. 1above] “Steadfast love will be built up forever;

in the heavens 89:2 See Ps. 36:5you will establish your 89:2 [See ver. 1above]faithfulness.”

3You have said, “I have made 89:3 ver. 28, 34, 39a covenant with my 89:3 ver. 19; 1 Kgs. 8:16; Isa. 42:1chosen one;

I have 89:3 ver. 35, 49; Ps. 132:11; See 2 Sam. 7:8-16; 1 Chr. 17:7-14; Jer. 33:17-21sworn to David my servant:

4‘I will establish your 89:4 ver. 29, 36; John 12:34offspring forever,

and build your 89:4 ver. 29, 36; [Isa. 9:7; Luke 1:32, 33]throne for all generations.’” Selah

5Let 89:5 Ps. 19:1; 50:6; 97:6; See Rev. 7:10-12the heavens praise your 89:5 Ps. 88:12wonders, O Lord,

your faithfulness in the assembly of 89:5 ver. 7; Job 5:1; 15:15; [Job 1:6]the holy ones!

6For 89:6 ver. 8; [Ps. 86:8]who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?

89:6 ver. 8; [Ps. 86:8]Who among the heavenly beings89:6 Hebrew the sons of God, or the sons of might is like the Lord,

7a God greatly 89:7 See Ps. 47:2to be feared in the council of 89:7 [See ver. 5above] the holy ones,

and awesome above all 89:7 [Ps. 103:20, 21]who are around him?

8O Lord God of hosts,

89:8 [1 Sam. 2:2]; See Ps. 35:10who is mighty as you are, O 89:8 See Ps. 68:4Lord,

with your faithfulness all around you?

9You rule the raging of the sea;

when its waves rise, you 89:9 Ps. 65:7; Job 38:11still them.

10You 89:10 [Ex. 14:30] crushed 89:10 See Job 9:13Rahab like a carcass;

you 89:10 See Ps. 53:5scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

1189:11 Gen. 1:1; 1 Chr. 29:11The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;

89:11 See Ps. 24:1the world and all that is in it, you have 89:11 See Ps. 104:5founded them.

1289:12 Job 26:7The north and the south, you have created them;

89:12 Jer. 46:18Tabor and 89:12 Deut. 3:9Hermon 89:12 Ps. 98:8joyously praise your name.

13You have a mighty arm;

strong is your hand, high your right hand.

1489:14 Ps. 97:2Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;

89:14 ver. 2; [Ps. 85:13]steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

15Blessed are the people who know 89:15 See Ps. 66:1the festal shout,

who walk, O Lord, in 89:15 See Ps. 4:6the light of your face,

16who exult in your 89:16 [Ps. 20:5, 7] name all the day

and in your righteousness are 89:16 [Job 36:7]exalted.

17For you are 89:17 [Ps. 78:61] the glory of their strength;

by your favor our 89:17 ver. 24; See Ps. 75:10horn is exalted.

18For our 89:18 Ps. 47:9shield belongs to the Lord,

our king to 89:18 See Ps. 71:22the Holy One of Israel.

1989:19 [ver. 3, 4] Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,89:19 Some Hebrew manuscripts godly ones and said:

“I have 89:19 [Ps. 21:5] granted help to one who is 89:19 2 Sam. 17:10mighty;

I have exalted one 89:19 See ver. 3chosen from the people.

2089:20 Cited Acts 13:22I have found David, my servant;

with my holy oil I have 89:20 1 Sam. 16:13anointed him,

21so that my 89:21 Ps. 80:17hand shall be established with him;

my arm also shall strengthen him.

22The enemy shall not outwit him;

89:22 [2 Sam. 7:10]the wicked shall not humble him.

23I will 89:23 [2 Sam. 7:9]; See Ps. 2:9crush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.

24My 89:24 ver. 1faithfulness and my 89:24 ver. 1steadfast love shall be with him,

and in my name shall his 89:24 ver. 17horn be exalted.

25I will set his hand on 89:25 See Ps. 72:8the sea

and his right hand on 89:25 See Ps. 72:8the rivers.

26He shall cry to me, ‘You are my 89:26 [2 Sam. 7:14] Father,

my God, and 89:26 [Ps. 18:2]the Rock of my salvation.’

27And I will make him the 89:27 Ex. 4:22; [Rom. 8:29; Col. 1:15, 18; Heb. 1:5] firstborn,

89:27 Num. 24:7; [Rev. 19:16]the highest of the kings of the earth.

28My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

and my 89:28 See ver. 3covenant will stand firm89:28 Or will remain faithful for him.

29I will establish his 89:29 See ver. 4offspring forever

and his 89:29 See ver. 4throne as 89:29 See Job 14:12the days of the heavens.

3089:30 2 Sam. 7:14; 1 Kgs. 2:4If his children forsake my law

and do not walk according to my rules,89:30 Or my just decrees

31if they violate my statutes

and do not keep my commandments,

32then I will punish their transgression with 89:32 See Job 9:34the rod

and their iniquity with stripes,

33but I will not remove from him my steadfast love

or be false to my faithfulness.

34I will not violate my 89:34 [See ver. 28above]covenant

or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

35Once for all I have sworn 89:35 See Ps. 60:6by my holiness;

I will not 89:35 [Heb. 6:18]lie to David.

36His 89:36 [See ver. 29above] offspring shall endure forever,

89:36 See ver. 4his 89:36 [See ver. 29above] throne as long as 89:36 See Ps. 72:5the sun before me.

37Like 89:37 [See ver. 36above] the moon it shall be established forever,

89:37 See Job 16:19a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

38But now you have 89:38 See Ps. 44:9cast off and rejected;

you are full of wrath against your 89:38 ver. 20, 51anointed.

39You have 89:39 Lam. 2:7renounced 89:39 See ver. 3the covenant with your servant;

you have 89:39 See Ps. 74:7defiled his 89:39 Job 19:9crown in the dust.

40You have 89:40 See Ps. 80:12breached all his walls;

you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

4189:41 [See ver. 40above] All who pass by plunder him;

he has become 89:41 [ver. 50]; See Ps. 44:13; 69:9, 19the scorn of his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his foes;

you have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You have also turned back the edge of his sword,

and you have not made him stand in battle.

44You have made his splendor to cease

and cast his throne to the ground.

45You have cut short 89:45 Ps. 102:23the days of his youth;

you have 89:45 Ps. 71:13; 109:29covered him with shame. Selah

4689:46 See Ps. 13:1How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?

How long will your wrath 89:46 Ps. 78:63; 79:5burn like fire?

4789:47 Job 7:7; 10:9Remember 89:47 [Job 14:1] how short my 89:47 Ps. 39:5time is!

For what vanity you have created all the children of man!

4889:48 [Ps. 49:9] What man can live and never 89:48 [Luke 2:26; Heb. 11:5] see death?

Who can deliver his soul from the power of 89:48 See Ps. 16:10Sheol? Selah

49Lord, where is your 89:49 [ver. 1, 2]steadfast love of old,

which by your 89:49 [ver. 1, 2]faithfulness you swore to David?

5089:50 [ver. 41]; See Ps. 74:18, 22Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,

and how I bear in my 89:50 Ps. 79:12heart the insults89:50 Hebrew lacks the insults of all the many nations,

51with which your enemies mock, O Lord,

with which they mock 89:51 [Ps. 17:11; 56:6] the footsteps of your 89:51 ver. 20, 38anointed.

5289:52 See Ps. 41:13Blessed be the Lord forever!

Amen and Amen.
