Geneva1599 - Psalms - 89

89:1  A Psalme to give instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lord for euer: with my mouth will I declare thy trueth from generation to generation.

89:2  For I said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shalt thou stablish in ye very heauens.

89:3  I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,

89:4  Thy seede will I stablish for euer, and set vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

89:5  O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.

89:6  For who is equall to the Lord in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?

89:7  God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.

89:8  O Lord God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?

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

89:10  Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.

89:11  The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.

89:12  Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.

89:13  Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.

89:14  Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.

89:15  Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.

89:16  They shall reioyce continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousnes shall they exalt them selues.

89:17  For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.

89:18  For our shield apperteineth to the Lord, and our King to the holy one of Israel.

89:19  Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

89:20  I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.

89:21  Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.

89:22  The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.

89:23  But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

89:24  My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.

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

89:26  He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.

89:27  Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.

89:28  My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.

89:29  His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.

89:30  But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:

89:31  If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:

89:32  Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.

89:33  Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.

89:34  My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

89:35  I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,

89:36  His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.

89:37  He shalbe established for euermore as the moone, and as a faythfull witnes in the heauen. Selah.

89:38  But thou hast reiected and abhorred, thou hast bene angry with thine Anoynted.

89:39  Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant, and profaned his crowne, casting it on the ground.

89:40  Thou hast broken downe all his walles: thou hast layd his fortresses in ruine.

89:41  All that goe by the way, spoyle him: he is a rebuke vnto his neighbours.

89:42  Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies, and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.

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

89:44  Thou hast caused his dignitie to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.

89:45  The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned, and couered him with shame. Selah.

89:46  Lord, howe long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire?

89:47  Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?

89:48  What man liueth, and shall not see death? shall hee deliuer his soule from the hande of the graue? Selah.

89:49  Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?

89:50  Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy seruants, which I beare in my bosome of all the mightie people.

89:51  For thine enemies haue reproched thee, O Lord, because they haue reproched the footesteps of thine Anointed.

89:52  Praised be the Lord for euermore. So be it, euen so be it.
