Psalm 89: 19 - 52

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.

20 I have found David, my servant;

    with my holy oil I have anointed him,

21 so that my hand shall be established with him;

    my arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not outwit him;

    the wicked shall not humble him.

23 I will crush his foes before him

    and strike down those who hate him.

24 My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him,

    and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25 I will set his hand on the sea

    and his right hand on the rivers.

26 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father,

    my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

27 And I will make him the firstborn,

    the highest of the kings of the earth.

28 My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

    and my covenant will stand firm for him.

29 I will establish his offspring forever

    and his throne as the days of the heavens.

30 If his children forsake my law

    and do not walk according to my rules,

31 if they violate my statutes

    and do not keep my commandments,

32 then I will punish their transgression with the rod

    and their iniquity with stripes,

33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love

    or be false to my faithfulness.

34 I will not violate my covenant

    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

35 Once for all I have sworn by my holiness;

    I will not lie to David.

36 His offspring shall endure forever,

    his throne as long as the sun before me.

37 Like the moon it shall be established forever,

    a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

38 But now you have cast off and rejected;

    you are full of wrath against your anointed.

39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant;

    you have defiled his crown in the dust.

40 You have breached all his walls;

    you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

41 All who pass by plunder him;

    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;

    you have made all his enemies rejoice.

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

    and you have not made him stand in battle.

44 You have made his splendor to cease

    and cast his throne to the ground.

45 You have cut short the days of his youth;

    you have covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?

    How long will your wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my time is!

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

48 What man can live and never see death?

    Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49 Lord, where is your steadfast love of old,

    which by your faithfulness you swore to David?

50 Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,

    and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,

51 with which your enemies mock, O Lord,

    with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.

52 Blessed be the Lord forever!

Amen and Amen.
