Psalm 89:35-49
English Standard Version
35 Once for all I have sworn (A)by my holiness;
I will not (B)lie to David.
36 His (C)offspring shall endure forever,
(D)his (E)throne as long as (F)the sun before me.
37 Like (G)the moon it shall be established forever,
(H)a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah
38 But now you have (I)cast off and rejected;
you are full of wrath against your (J)anointed.
39 You have (K)renounced (L)the covenant with your servant;
you have (M)defiled his (N)crown in the dust.
40 You have (O)breached all his walls;
you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
41 (P)All who pass by plunder him;
he has become (Q)the scorn of his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
and you have not made him stand in battle.
44 You have made his splendor to cease
and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short (R)the days of his youth;
you have (S)covered him with shame. Selah
46 (T)How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your wrath (U)burn like fire?
47 (V)Remember (W)how short my (X)time is!
For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
48 (Y)What man can live and never (Z)see death?
Who can deliver his soul from the power of (AA)Sheol? Selah
49 Lord, where is your (AB)steadfast love of old,
which by your (AC)faithfulness you swore to David?

22 Thus says the Lord God: (A)“I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out. (B)I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and (C)I myself will plant it on a high and lofty mountain. 23 (D)On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bear branches and produce fruit and become a noble cedar. (E)And under it will dwell every kind of bird; in the shade of its branches birds of every sort will nest. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; (F)I bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up (G)the green tree, and make (H)the dry tree flourish. (I)I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”

24 “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25 Thus says the Lord: (A)If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (B)For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

11 (A)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And (B)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that (C)the Lord will make you a house. 12 (D)When your days are fulfilled and (E)you lie down with your fathers, (F)I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (G)He shall build a house for my name, and (H)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (I)I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, (J)I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 (K)but my steadfast love will not depart from him, (L)as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 (M)And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me.[a] (N)Your throne shall be established forever.’”

English Standard Version
20 But as he considered these things, behold, (A)an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and (B)you shall call his name Jesus, (C)for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 (D)All this took place (E)to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
(which means, God (H)with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And (I)he called his name Jesus.
