Psalm 89:14-37

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁴⁽¹³⁾Your arm is mighty, your hand is strong,
your right hand is lifted high.
¹⁵⁽¹⁴⁾Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
grace and truth attend you.

¹⁶⁽¹⁵⁾How happy are the people who know the joyful shout!
They walk in the light of your presence, Adonai.
¹⁷⁽¹⁶⁾They rejoice in your name all day
and are lifted up by your righteousness,
¹⁸⁽¹⁷⁾for you yourself are the strength in which they glory.
Our power grows by pleasing you,
¹⁹⁽¹⁸⁾for our shield comes from Adonai —
our king is from the Holy One of Isra’el.

²⁰⁽¹⁹⁾There was a time when you spoke in a vision;
you declared to your loyal [prophets],
“I have given help to a warrior,
I have raised up someone chosen from the people.
²¹⁽²⁰⁾I have found David my servant
and anointed him with my holy oil.
²²⁽²¹⁾My hand will always be with him,
and my arm will give him strength.
²³⁽²²⁾No enemy will outwit him,
no wicked man overcome him.
²⁴⁽²³⁾I will crush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
²⁵⁽²⁴⁾My faithfulness and grace will be with him;
through my name his power will grow.
²⁶⁽²⁵⁾I will put his hand on the sea
and his right hand on the rivers.
²⁷⁽²⁶⁾He will call to me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
²⁸⁽²⁷⁾I will give him the position of firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁹⁽²⁸⁾I will keep my grace for him forever,
and in my covenant be faithful with him.
³⁰⁽²⁹⁾I will establish his dynasty forever,
and his throne as long as the heavens last.

³¹⁽³⁰⁾“If his descendants abandon my Torah
and fail to live by my rulings,
³²⁽³¹⁾if they profane my regulations
and don’t obey my mitzvot,
³³⁽³²⁾I will punish their disobedience with the rod
and their guilt with lashes.
³⁴⁽³³⁾But I won’t withdraw my grace from him
or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁵⁽³⁴⁾I will not profane my covenant
or change what my lips have spoken.
³⁶⁽³⁵⁾I have sworn by my holiness once and for all;
I will not lie to David —
³⁷⁽³⁶⁾his dynasty will last forever,
his throne like the sun before me.
