Psalm 89 (WEBP)

[1] I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
[2] I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”
[3] “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
[4] ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.
[5] The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
[6] For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
[7] a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?
[8] Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
[9] You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
[10] You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
[11] The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.
[12] You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
[13] You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
[14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
[15] Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
[16] In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
[17] For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
[18] For our shield belongs to Yahweh, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
[19] Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.
[20] I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
[21] with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
[22] No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
[23] I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
[24] But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
[25] I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
[26] He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
[27] I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
[28] I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him.
[29] I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
[30] If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
[31] if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
[32] then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
[33] But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
[34] I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.
[35] Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
[36] His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
[37] It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
[38] But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
[39] You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
[40] You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
[41] All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
[42] You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
[43] Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
[44] You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
[45] You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.
[46] How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
[47] Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
[48] What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
[49] Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
[50] Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
[51] With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
[52] Blessed be Yahweh forever more. Amen, and Amen.

Psalm 89:48 Sheol is the place of the dead.

[1] [88:1] συνεσεως αιθαν τω ισραηλιτη [88:2] τα ελεη σου κυριε εις τον αιωνα ασομαι εις γενεαν και γενεαν απαγγελω την αληθειαν σου εν τω στοματι μου
[2] [88:3] οτι ειπας εις τον αιωνα ελεος οικοδομηθησεται εν τοις ουρανοις ετοιμασθησεται η αληθεια σου
[3] [88:4] διεθεμην διαθηκην τοις εκλεκτοις μου ωμοσα δαυιδ τω δουλω μου
[4] [88:5] εως του αιωνος ετοιμασω το σπερμα σου και οικοδομησω εις γενεαν και γενεαν τον θρονον σου διαψαλμα
[5] [88:6] εξομολογησονται οι ουρανοι τα θαυμασια σου κυριε και την αληθειαν σου εν εκκλησια αγιων
[6] [88:7] οτι τις εν νεφελαις ισωθησεται τω κυριω και τις ομοιωθησεται τω κυριω εν υιοις θεου
[7] [88:8] ο θεος ενδοξαζομενος εν βουλη αγιων μεγας και φοβερος επι παντας τους περικυκλω αυτου
[8] [88:9] κυριε ο θεος των δυναμεων τις ομοιος σοι δυνατος ει κυριε και η αληθεια σου κυκλω σου
[9] [88:10] συ δεσποζεις του κρατους της θαλασσης τον δε σαλον των κυματων αυτης συ καταπραυνεις
[10] [88:11] συ εταπεινωσας ως τραυματιαν υπερηφανον και εν τω βραχιονι της δυναμεως σου διεσκορπισας τους εχθρους σου
[11] [88:12] σοι εισιν οι ουρανοι και ση εστιν η γη την οικουμενην και το πληρωμα αυτης συ εθεμελιωσας
[12] [88:13] τον βορραν και θαλασσας συ εκτισας θαβωρ και ερμων εν τω ονοματι σου αγαλλιασονται
[13] [88:14] σος ο βραχιων μετα δυναστειας κραταιωθητω η χειρ σου υψωθητω η δεξια σου
[14] [88:15] δικαιοσυνη και κριμα ετοιμασια του θρονου σου ελεος και αληθεια προπορευσεται προ προσωπου σου

[20] [88:21] ευρον δαυιδ τον δουλον μου εν ελαιω αγιω μου εχρισα αυτον
[21] [88:22] η γαρ χειρ μου συναντιλημψεται αυτω και ο βραχιων μου κατισχυσει αυτον
[22] [88:23] ουκ ωφελησει εχθρος εν αυτω και υιος ανομιας ου προσθησει του κακωσαι αυτον
[23] [88:24] και συγκοψω τους εχθρους αυτου απο προσωπου αυτου και τους μισουντας αυτον τροπωσομαι
[24] [88:25] και η αληθεια μου και το ελεος μου μετ αυτου και εν τω ονοματι μου υψωθησεται το κερας αυτου
[25] [88:26] και θησομαι εν θαλασση χειρα αυτου και εν ποταμοις δεξιαν αυτου
[26] [88:27] αυτος επικαλεσεται με πατηρ μου ει συ θεος μου και αντιλημπτωρ της σωτηριας μου
[27] [88:28] καγω πρωτοτοκον θησομαι αυτον υψηλον παρα τοις βασιλευσιν της γης

[34] [88:35] ουδε μη βεβηλωσω την διαθηκην μου και τα εκπορευομενα δια των χειλεων μου ου μη αθετησω
[35] [88:36] απαξ ωμοσα εν τω αγιω μου ει τω δαυιδ ψευσομαι
[36] [88:37] το σπερμα αυτου εις τον αιωνα μενει και ο θρονος αυτου ως ο ηλιος εναντιον μου
[37] [88:38] και ως η σεληνη κατηρτισμενη εις τον αιωνα και ο μαρτυς εν ουρανω πιστος διαψαλμα
[38] [88:39] συ δε απωσω και εξουδενωσας ανεβαλου τον χριστον σου
[39] [88:40] κατεστρεψας την διαθηκην του δουλου σου εβεβηλωσας εις την γην το αγιασμα αυτου
[40] [88:41] καθειλες παντας τους φραγμους αυτου εθου τα οχυρωματα αυτου δειλιαν
[41] [88:42] διηρπασαν αυτον παντες οι διοδευοντες οδον εγενηθη ονειδος τοις γειτοσιν αυτου
[42] [88:43] υψωσας την δεξιαν των εχθρων αυτου ευφρανας παντας τους εχθρους αυτου
[43] [88:44] απεστρεψας την βοηθειαν της ρομφαιας αυτου και ουκ αντελαβου αυτου εν τω πολεμω
[44] [88:45] κατελυσας απο καθαρισμου αυτον τον θρονον αυτου εις την γην κατερραξας
[45] [88:46] εσμικρυνας τας ημερας του χρονου αυτου κατεχεας αυτου αισχυνην διαψαλμα
[46] [88:47] εως ποτε κυριε αποστρεψεις εις τελος εκκαυθησεται ως πυρ η οργη σου
[47] [88:48] μνησθητι τις μου η υποστασις μη γαρ ματαιως εκτισας παντας τους υιους των ανθρωπων
[48] [88:49] τις εστιν ανθρωπος ος ζησεται και ουκ οψεται θανατον ρυσεται την ψυχην αυτου εκ χειρος αδου διαψαλμα
[49] [88:50] που εισιν τα ελεη σου τα αρχαια κυριε α ωμοσας τω δαυιδ εν τη αληθεια σου
[50] [88:51] μνησθητι κυριε του ονειδισμου των δουλων σου ου υπεσχον εν τω κολπω μου πολλων εθνων
[51] [88:52] ου ωνειδισαν οι εχθροι σου κυριε ου ωνειδισαν το ανταλλαγμα του χριστου σου
[52] [88:53] ευλογητος κυριος εις τον αιωνα γενοιτο γενοιτο
