Psalms 89 {Contemplating, For Ethan the Ezrahite{ Of the benignity of Yahweh will I sing for the eon; For generation after generation shall I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ {Contemplating, For Ethan the Ezrahite{ Of the benignity of Yahweh will I sing for the eon; For generation after generation shall I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth." ² For I have said, Eonian benignity shall be built; You shall establish Your faithfulness in the heavens themselves." ³ I contracted a covenant with My chosen; I swore to David My servant: ⁴ I shall establish your seed for the eon, And I will build your throne for generation after generation. {Interlude{ " ⁵ The heavens are acclaiming Your marvelous works, O Yahweh, Indeed Your faithfulness in the assembly of the saints." ⁶ For who in the skies can be appraised with Yahweh? Who is like Yahweh among the sons of the elim? ⁷ El is greatly terrifying among the council of the saints, And fear inspiring to all those round about Him." ⁸ O Yahweh, Elohim of hosts, Who is like You, an invincible Yah, With Your faithfulness round about You? ⁹ You are Ruler over the swelling sea; When its billows are lifted, You becalm them." ¹⁰ You crushed Rahab who became like one slain; With Your strong arm You dispersed Your enemies. ¹¹ Yours are the heavens; indeed Yours is the earth; The habitance and its fullness, You founded them." ¹² The north and the south, You created them; Tabor and Hermon are jubilant in Your Name." ¹³ Yours is an arm with mastery; Your hand is strong; Your right hand is exalted. ¹⁴ Righteousness and right judgment are the basis of Your throne; Benignity and truth stand before Your presence. ¹⁵ Happy are the people who know the joyful shouting; O Yahweh, they shall walk in the light of Your presence." ¹⁶ In Your Name shall they exult the entire day, And in Your righteousness shall they be exalted." ¹⁷ For You are the beauty of their strength, And by Your benevolence shall our horn be exalted." ¹⁸ For our shield is of Yahweh, And our king is of the Holy One of Israel." ¹⁹ Then You spoke in a vision to Your benign ones, And You said:I have poised help on a master; I have exalted one chosen from the people." ²⁰ I have found David My servant; With My holy oil have I anointed him, ²¹ With whom My hand shall stand readied; Indeed My arm shall make him resolute. ²² The enemy shall not astrict him, And the son of iniquity shall not humiliate him." ²³ I will pound down his foes before him, And I shall strike against those hating him." ²⁴ Yet My faithfulness and My benignity will be with him, And in My Name shall his horn be exalted." ²⁵ I will place his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the streams." ²⁶ He shall call out to Me, You are my Father, My El and the Rock of my salvation." ²⁷ Indeed, I shall make him the firstborn, The uppermost of the kings of the earth." ²⁸ For the eon shall I keep My benignity upon him, And My covenant with him is faithful." ²⁹ I will establish his seed for the future, And his throne as the days of the heavens." ³⁰ If his sons should forsake My law, And they should not walk in My ordinances, ³¹ If they should profane My statutes And should not keep My instructions, ³² Then I will visit their transgression with a club, And their depravity with contagions." ³³ Yet I shall not withdraw My benignity from him, And I shall not be false in My faithfulness." ³⁴ I shall not profane My covenant, And I shall not alter the utterance of My lips." ³⁵ Once for all have I sworn by My holiness; I shall assuredly not lie to David: ³⁶ His seed shall continue for the eon, And his throne as the sun in front of Me, ³⁷ Like the moon, it shall be established for the eon, Faithful like that witness in the sky. {Interlude{ " ³⁸ Yet You have cast off and are rejecting; You are enraged with Your anointed. ³⁹ You have disowned the covenant with Your servant; You have profaned his insignia down to the earth. ⁴⁰ You have breached all his stone dikes; You have made fatal cracks in his defenses. ⁴¹ All those passing by the way rob him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors. ⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice. ⁴³ Indeed You turn back the sharpness of his sword, And have not raised him up in battle." ⁴⁴ You have caused his luster to cease, And You have toppled his throne to the earth." ⁴⁵ You have shortened the days of his adolescence; You have muffled him with shame. {Interlude{ ⁴⁶ How long, O Yahweh; shall You be concealed permanently? How long shall Your fury consume like fire? ⁴⁷ Remember how transient is my life, For what futility have You created all the sons of humanity? ⁴⁸ What master could live and not see death? Could his soul escape from the hand of the unseen? {Interlude{ ⁴⁹ Where are Your former benignities, O Yahweh, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? ⁵⁰ Remember, O Yahweh, the reproach of Your servants; I bear in my bosom the mortification from many peoples, ⁵¹ With which Your enemies reproach, O Yahweh, With which they reproach the heel-prints of Your anointed one." ⁵² Blessed be Yahweh for the eon. Amen and amen.
