Psalm 89

89 Ethan Ezrahite song.

1 Yahweh, I will always sing about how faithfully you love your people.

I will tell my children and grandchildren that you always do what you promise.

2 I know that you will always love us faithfully.

Just as the sky is permanent, so you will always be faithful to us.

3 Yahweh has said, “I made a covenant with the man I chose to be the king of Israel.

That was David, who loyally obeyed me.

I made a solemn promise to him.

4 I said, ‘I will make sure that your descendants always rule as kings;

yes, I will make sure that your dynasty never ends.’ ” Selah

5 Yahweh, the angels in heaven praise you for the wonderful things you do,

When those holy beings gather, they celebrate how you always do what you promise.

6 No one in the sky is equal to Yahweh!

None of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh!

7 When the holy beings gather together, they all respect God greatly.

Everyone around his throne honors him.

8 Yahweh, you are the God who commands the heavenly armies.

No one is as mighty as you are!

You are always faithful in every way.

9 You control the sea so that it does not become too violent;

when its waves become too large, you make them smaller.

10 It was you who put the world in order as you created it, as if you had completely destroyed the sea monster Rahab;

You used your great power to defeat your enemies.

11 Because you created the world and everything in it,

the sky belongs to you, and the earth also belongs to you.

12 You created the full extent of the world around us.

You made everything to the north and to the south.

You made everything to the west, where Mount Tabor is,

and you made everything to the east, where Mount Hermon is.

People throughout the world joyfully praise you because of who you are.

13 You are very powerful; yes, you are very strong,

and you use your power to do great things.

14 As you rule, you always do what is right and just,

and you are always faithful and true in everything you do.

15 Yahweh, the people who worship you with joyful shouts have truly good lives;

they enjoy your favor as they live.

16 They rejoice continually because of who you are,

and they celebrate how you always do what is right.

17 You make your people strong and glorious,

and because you were pleased with us, you gave us a good king.

18 The one who protects us belongs to you, Yahweh;

yes, our king belongs to you, the holy God whom we Israelites worship.

19 Long ago you spoke in a vision to the Israelites who were loyal to you.

You said, “I have given strength to a mighty warrior;

I have chosen a young man from among the people to be the king.

20 I have found David, who loyally obeys me,

and I have had people anoint him with my holy oil to appoint him as king.

21 I will always support him with my power;

indeed, I will make him strong.

22 He will never have to pay tribute to a foreign ruler,

and no wicked enemy will defeat him.

23 I will defeat his opponents when they fight against him;

yes, I will destroy his enemies.

24 I will always be faithful to him and treat him kindly,

and I will make him a great ruler by my own authority.

25 I will make his realm extend from the Great Sea to the Euphrates River.

26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father;

you are my God, the one who protects me and saves me!’

27 For my part, I will treat him as if he were my firstborn son,

and I will make him the greatest of all the kings on the earth.

28 I will always love him faithfully,

and I will always honor my covenant with him.

29 I will make sure that his descendants always rule as kings,

so that his dynasty lasts as long as the sky exists.

30 However, if his descendants disobey my instructions

and do not live according to what I have decreed,

31 if they treat my decrees as something they can ignore,

and if they do not obey my commands,

32 then I will punish them to correct them

because of the wrong things they have done

as if I were hitting them with a rod.

33 But I will not stop faithfully loving David;

I will not fail to do what I promised for his descendants.

34 I will not break my covenant;

no, I will not take back what I said.

35 I guaranteed my promise to David by my own holy character.

I said that I was not lying to him, and I meant it.

36 I promised solemnly that his descendants would rule as kings forever.

Yes, I said that I would preserve his dynasty

just as I have made the sun to shine in the sky always.

37 The moon appears in the sky dependably each month,

and in the same way, David’s dynasty will always endure.” Selah

38 Yet now it appears that you have completely rejected

David’s descendant who was our king.

It appears that you have abandoned him.

39 It seems as though you are disregarding the covenant you made with David.

You have allowed his dynasty to end, as if you had not promised to preserve it.

40 You have allowed enemies to break down

all the walls that protected his city of Jerusalem.

It had strong defenses, but you have allowed those enemies to reduce them to ruins.

41 Now people can come along and steal the things that remain in the city.

People in the surrounding countries are ridiculing us Israelites.

42 You have allowed our enemies to become strong,

and they are celebrating how they have defeated us.

43 Our armies have had to retreat from battles

because you have not helped us when we fight.

44 Our kingdom is no longer glorious,

and we no longer have a king.

45 We are no longer strong, as young men are.

This has disgraced us completely. Selah

46 Yahweh, please help us, and do not delay! Do not keep neglecting us!

Do not keep being so angry with us!

47 Please remember how short human lives are!

Please remember that you created us human beings as mere mortals!

48 No one can live forever and never die;

everyone must go to the place where dead people are. Selah

49 Lord, you promised David that you would faithfully love us Israelites, and you did.

You always keep your promises, so please help us!

50 Lord, consider the insulting things that many people are saying

about us who loyally obey you!

I deeply feel the pain of all those insults.

51 Yahweh, do something to stop your enemies

from mocking the actions of the king you appointed.

52 May people always bless Yahweh!

Amen! Yes, amen!
