Psalms 89:26-52

26I will also set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

27He will call to Me: ‘You are my Father, my God and the rock of my salvation.’

28I also will set him as firstborn— the highest of the kings of earth.

29I will maintain My love for him forever, and My covenant with him will be firm.

30His seed I will establish forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

31If his sons forsake My Torah, and do not walk in My judgments,

32if they violate My decrees, and do not keep My mitzvot,

33then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with flogging.

34But I will not withdraw My lovingkindness from him, nor will I betray My faithfulness.

35I will not violate My covenant, nor alter what My lips have uttered.

36Once for all I have sworn by My holiness —surely I will not lie to David—

37his descendants will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me,

38and as the moon, established forever, and a trustworthy witness in the sky.” Selah

39But You have cast off and spurned, You have become furious with Your anointed one.

40You have renounced the covenant of Your servant. You have defiled his crown even to the ground.

41You have broken down all his walls. You reduced his strongholds to ruin.

42All who pass by have plundered him. He has become a taunt to his neighbors.

43You exalted the right hand of his foes and made all his enemies rejoice.

44You turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.

45You brought his splendor to an end, and cast his throne down to the ground.

46You cut short the days of his youth. You covered him with shame. Selah

47How long, Adonai, will You hide Yourself? Forever? Will Your fury keep burning like fire?

48Remember how short my life span is! For what futility have You created all the children of men?

49What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver himself from the clutches of Sheol? Selah

50Where is Your former lovingkindness, my Lord, which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

51Remember, my Lord, the mockery against Your servants that I bear in my heart from so many peoples.

52How Your enemies have mocked, Adonai, how they have mocked the footsteps of Your Anointed One!
