Psalms 89:3-28

3I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with my chosenH972, I have swornH7650 to DavidH1732 my servantH5650, 4Thy seedH2233 will I establishH3559 forH5704 everH5769, and build upH1129 thy throneH3678 to allH1755 generationsH1755. SelahH5542.

5And the heavensH8064 shall praiseH3034 thy wondersH6382, O LORDH3068: thy faithfulnessH530 also in the congregationH6951 of the saintsH6918. 6For who in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 to the LORDH3068? who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 to the LORDH3068? 7GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saintsH6918, and to be had in reverenceH3372 by all them that are aboutH5439 him. 8O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, who is a strongH2626 LORDH3050 like thee? or to thy faithfulnessH530 aroundH5439 thee? 9Thou rulestH4910 the ragingH1348 of the seaH3220: when its wavesH1530 ariseH7721, thou stillestH7623 them. 10Thou hast brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in piecesH1792, as one that is slainH2491; thou hast scatteredH6340 thy enemiesH341 with thy strongH5797 armH2220.12 11The heavensH8064 are thine, the earthH776 also is thine: as for the worldH8398 and all it containethH4393, thou hast foundedH3245 them.3 12The northH6828 and the southH3225 thou hast createdH1254 them: TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shall rejoiceH7442 in thy nameH8034. 13Thou hast a mightyH1369 armH2220: strongH5810 is thy handH3027, and highH7311 is thy right handH3225.4 14RighteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941 are the habitationH4349 of thy throneH3678: mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before thy faceH6440.5

15BlessedH835are the peopleH5971 that knowH3045 the joyful soundH8643: they shall walkH1980, O LORDH3068, in the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440. 16In thy nameH8034 shall they rejoiceH1523 all the dayH3117: and in thy righteousnessH6666 shall they be exaltedH7311. 17For thou art the gloryH8597 of their strengthH5797: and in thy favourH7522 our hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311. 18For the LORDH3068 is our defenceH4043; and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 is our kingH4428.6

19Then thou didst speakH1696 in visionH2377 to thy holy oneH2623, and didst sayH559, I have laidH7737 helpH5828 upon one that is mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH977 out of the peopleH5971. 20I have foundH4672 DavidH1732 my servantH5650; with my holyH6944 oilH8081 have I anointedH4886 him: 21With whom my handH3027 shall be establishedH3559: my armH2220 also shall strengthenH553 him. 22The enemyH341 shall not exactH5378 upon him; nor the sonH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 him. 23And I will beat downH3807 his foesH6862 before his faceH6440, and afflictH5062 them that hateH8130 him. 24But my faithfulnessH530 and my mercyH2617 shall be with him: and in my nameH8034 shall his hornH7161 be exaltedH7311. 25I will setH7760 his handH3027 also in the seaH3220, and his right handH3225 in the riversH5104. 26He shall cryH7121 to me, Thou art my fatherH1, my GodH410, and the rockH6697 of my salvationH3444. 27Also I will makeH5414 him my firstbornH1060, higherH5945 than the kingsH4428 of the earthH776. 28My mercyH2617 will I keepH8104 for him for evermoreH5769, and my covenantH1285 shall stand fastH539 with him.
