Psalms:89:20-52
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I have found My servant David ;
With My holy oil I have anointed him ,
*
With whom My hand shall be established ;
Also My arm shall strengthen him .
*
The enemy shall not outwit him ,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him .
*
I will beat down his foes before his face ,
And plague those who hate him .
* "
But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him ,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted .
*
Also I will set his hand over the sea ,
And his right hand over the rivers .
*
He shall cry to Me , "
You are my Father ,
My God ,
and the rock of my salvation .'
*
Also I will make him My firstborn ,
The highest of the kings of the earth .
*
My mercy I will keep for him forever ,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him .
*
His seed also I will make to endure forever ,
And his throne as the days of heaven .
* "
If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments ,
*
If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments ,
*
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod ,
And their iniquity with stripes .
*
Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him ,
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail .
*
My covenant I will not break ,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips .
*
Once I have sworn by My holiness ;
I will not lie to David :
*
His seed shall endure forever ,
And his throne as the sun before Me ;
*
It shall be established forever like the moon ,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky ."
Selah
*
But You have cast off and abhorred ,
You have been furious with Your anointed .
*
You have renounced the covenant of Your servant ;
You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground .
*
You have broken down all his hedges ;
You have brought his strongholds to ruin .
*
All who pass by the way plunder him ;
He is a reproach to his neighbors .
*
You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries ;
You have made all his enemies rejoice .
*
You have also turned back the edge of his sword ,
And have not sustained him in the battle .
*
You have made his glory cease ,
And cast his throne down to the ground .
*
The days of his youth You have shortened ;
You have covered him with shame .
Selah
*
How long ,
LORD ?
Will You hide Yourself forever ?
Will Your wrath burn like fire ?
*
Remember how short my time is ;
For what futility have You created all the children of men ?
*
What man can live and not see death ?
Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave ?
Selah
*
Lord ,
where are Your former lovingkindnesses ,
Which You swore to David in Your truth ?
*
Remember ,
Lord ,
the reproach of Your servants --
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples ,
*
With which Your enemies have reproached ,
O LORD ,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed .
*
Blessed be the LORD forevermore !
Amen and Amen .
