DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Psalms - 89

89:1  A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

89:1  I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

89:1  Oratio Moysi, hominis Dei. Domine, refugium factus es nobis a generatione in generationem.

89:2  Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.

89:2  For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

89:2  Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus.

89:3  Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.

89:3  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

89:3  Ne avertas hominem in humilitatem : et dixisti : Convertimini, filii hominum.

89:4  For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,

89:4  Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

89:4  Quoniam mille anni ante oculos tuos tamquam dies hesterna quæ præteriit : et custodia in nocte

89:5  Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.

89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

89:5  quæ pro nihilo habentur, eorum anni erunt.

89:6  In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.

89:6  For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

89:6  Mane sicut herba transeat ; mane floreat, et transeat ; vespere decidat, induret, et arescat.

89:7  For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.

89:7  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

89:7  Quia defecimus in ira tua, et in furore tuo turbati sumus.

89:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.

89:8  O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

89:8  Posuisti iniquitates nostras in conspectu tuo ; sæculum nostrum in illuminatione vultus tui.

89:9  For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:

89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

89:9  Quoniam omnes dies nostri defecerunt, et in ira tua defecimus. Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur ;

89:10  The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.

89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

89:10  dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni. Si autem in potentatibus octoginta anni, et amplius eorum labor et dolor ; quoniam supervenit mansuetudo, et corripiemur.

89:11  Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear

89:11  The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

89:11  Quis novit potestatem iræ tuæ, et præ timore tuo iram tuam

89:12  Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.

89:12  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

89:12  dinumerare ? Dexteram tuam sic notam fac, et eruditos corde in sapientia.

89:13  Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.

89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

89:13  Convertere, Domine ; usquequo ? et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.

89:14  We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.

89:14  Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

89:14  Repleti sumus mane misericordia tua ; et exsultavimus, et delectati sumus omnibus diebus nostris.

89:15  We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.

89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.

89:15  Lætati sumus pro diebus quibus nos humiliasti ; annis quibus vidimus mala.

89:16  Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.

89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

89:16  Respice in servos tuos et in opera tua, et dirige filios eorum.

89:17  And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.

89:17  For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

89:17  Et sit splendor Domini Dei nostri super nos, et opera manuum nostrarum dirige super nos, et opus manuum nostrarum dirige.

89:18  For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

89:19  Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

89:20  I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

89:21  With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

89:22  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

89:27  Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

89:29  His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

89:46  How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

89:49  Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

89:52  Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
