Psalms 89:26-52

26He will callH7121 to Me, ‘You are 1my FatherH1, My GodH410, and the 2rockH6697 of my salvationH3444.’27I will alsoH637 makeH5414 him My 3firstbornH1060, The 4highestH5945 of the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.28I will maintainH8104 My 5favorH2617 for him foreverH5769, And My 6covenantH1285 shall be confirmedH539 to him.29So I will establishH7760 his 78descendantsH2233 foreverH5703, And his 9throneH3678 10as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.

30“IfH518 his sonsH1121 11abandonH5800 My LawH8451 And do not walkH1980 in My judgmentsH4941,31IfH518 they 12violateH2490 My statutesH2708 And do not keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687,32Then I will punishH6485 their wrongdoingH6588 with the 13rodH7626, And their guiltH5771 with 14afflictionsH5061.33But I will not 15withholdH6565 16My favorH2617 from him, NorH3808 dealH8266 falselyH8266 in My faithfulnessH530.34I will not 17violateH2490 My 18covenantH1285, NorH3808 will I 19alterH8132 20the utteranceH4161 of My lipsH8193.3521OnceH259 I have 22swornH7650 by My holinessH6944; I will not lieH3576 to DavidH1732.36His 2324descendantsH2233 shall endureH1961 foreverH5769, And his 25throneH3678 26as the sunH8121 beforeH5048 Me.37It shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5769 27like the moonH3394, And a 28witnessH5707 in the skyH7834 is faithfulH539.” SelahH5542

38But You have 29rejectedH2186 and 30refusedH3988, You have beenH5674 fullH5674 ofH5674 wrathH5674 31againstH5973 Your 32anointedH4899.39You have 3334repudiatedH5010 the covenantH1285 of Your servantH5650; You have 35profanedH2490 36his crownH5145 37in the dustH776.40You have 38brokenH6555 downH6555 allH3605 his wallsH1448; You have 39broughtH7760 his strongholdsH4013 to ruinH4288.4140AllH3605 who passH5674 alongH5674 the wayH1870 plunderH8155 him; He has becomeH1961 a 41disgraceH2781 to his neighborsH7934.42You have 42exaltedH7311 the rightH3225 handH3225 of his adversariesH6862; You have 43made allH3605 his enemiesH340 rejoiceH8055.43You alsoH637 turnH7725 backH7725 the edgeH6864 of his swordH2719, And have 44not made him standH6965 in battleH4421.44You have putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 to his 4546splendorH2892 And castH4048 his throneH3678 to the groundH776.45You have 47shortenedH7114 the daysH3117 of his youthH5934; You have 48coveredH5844 him with shameH955. SelahH5542

4649HowH4100 longH5704, LordH3068? Will You hideH5641 Yourself foreverH5331? Will Your 50wrathH2534 burnH1197 likeH3644 fireH784?4751RememberH2142 52whatH4100 my lifespanH2465 is; For whatH4100 53futilityH7723 54You have createdH1254 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!48WhatH4310 manH1397 can liveH2421 and not 55seeH7200 deathH4194? Can he 56saveH4422 his soulH5315 from the 57powerH3027 of 58SheolH7585? SelahH5542

49WhereH346 are Your formerH7223 actsH2617 ofH2617 favorH2617, LordH136, Which You 59sworeH7650 to DavidH1732 in Your faithfulnessH530?50RememberH2142, LordH136, the 60tauntH2781 against Your servantsH5650; 61How I carryH5375 in my heartH2436 the taunts of allH3605 the manyH7227 peoplesH5971,51With whichH834 62Your enemiesH340 have tauntedH2778, LordH3068, With whichH834 they have tauntedH2778 the footstepsH6119 of 63Your anointedH4899.
