Psalms 89:26-52

26He shall cry unto meH7760, Thou art my father, my GodH3027, and the rock of my salvation.

27I also will makeH7121 him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

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

29His seed also will I make to endureH5769 for everH5769, and his throne as the daysH5769 of heaven.

30IfH7760 his childrenH2233 forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31IfH518 they break my statutes, and keep notH3808 my commandments;

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

33But my mercy will I not utterly takeH6485 from him, nor sufferH6485 my faithfulness to fail.

34My covenant will I notH3808 break, norH3808 alter the thing that is goneH3808 out of my lips.

35Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will notH3808 lie unto David;

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

37It shall be established for everH5769 as the moon, and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

38But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

39Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.

41AllH3605 that pass by the wayH3605 spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast madeH1961 allH3605 his enemies to rejoice.

43Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not madeH8055 him to stand in the battle.

44Thou hast madeH7725 his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

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

46How longH3117, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? how longH3117 shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47O remember howH4100 short my time is: for whatH4100 vanity hast thou created allH5704 the children of men!

48WhatH4100 manH120 is he that shall live and notH1121 see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49Lord, whereH3808 are thy former mercies, whichH4310 thou swarest unto DavidH3027 in thy faithfulness?

50Remember, LordH136, the reproach of thy servants; how I doH7650 bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples:

51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORDH136, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52Blessed be the LORDH3068 for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
