Psalms 89:26-52

26He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

27Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

28My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

29His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

30“If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,

31If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,

32Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

33Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

34My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

35Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:

36His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;

37It shall be established forever like the moon, Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

38But You have cast off and abhorred, You have been furious with Your anointed.

39You have renounced the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, And have not sustained him in the battle.

44You have made his glory cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

45The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah

46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?

48What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Selah

49Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth?

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

52Blessed be the Lord forevermore! Amen and Amen.
