Awit 89
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
89 Aking aawitin ang kagandahang-loob ng Panginoon magpakailan man: aking ipababatid ng aking bibig ang iyong pagtatapat sa lahat ng sali't saling lahi.
2 Sapagka't aking sinabi, Kaawaan ay matatayo magpakailan man: ang pagtatapat mo'y iyong itatatag sa mga kalangitlangitan.
3 Ako'y nakipagtipan sa aking hirang, aking isinumpa kay David na aking lingkod;
4 Ang binhi mo'y itatatag ko magpakailan man, at aking itatayo ang luklukan mo sa lahat ng sali't saling lahi. (Selah)
5 At pupurihin ng langit ang iyong mga kababalaghan, Oh Panginoon; ang pagtatapat mo naman sa kapulungan ng mga banal.
6 Sapagka't sino sa langit ang maitutulad sa Panginoon? Sino sa gitna ng mga anak ng makapangyarihan ang gaya ng Panginoon,
7 Isang Dios na kakilakilabot sa kapulungan ng mga banal, at kinatatakutan ng higit sa lahat na nangasa palibot niya?
8 Oh Panginoong Dios ng mga hukbo, sino ang makapangyarihang gaya mo, Oh JAH? At ang pagtatapat mo'y nasa palibot mo.
9 Iyong pinagpupunuan ang kapalaluan sa dagat: pagka nagsisibangon ang mga alon niyaon ay pinatatahimik mo.
10 Iyong pinagwaraywaray ang Rahab na parang napatay; iyong pinangalat ang iyong mga kaaway ng bisig ng iyong kalakasan.
11 Ang langit ay iyo, ang lupa ay iyo rin: ang sanglibutan at ang buong narito ay iyong itinatag,
12 Ang hilagaan at ang timugan ay iyong nilikha; ang Tabor at ang Hermon ay nangagagalak sa iyong pangalan.
13 Ikaw ay may makapangyarihang bisig: malakas ang iyong kamay, at mataas ang iyong kanang kamay.
14 Katuwiran at kahatulan ay patibayan ng iyong luklukan: kagandahang-loob at katotohanan ay nagpapauna sa iyong mukha.
15 Mapalad ang bayan na nakakaalam ng masayang tunog: sila'y nagsisilakad, Oh Panginoon, sa liwanag ng iyong mukha.
16 Sa iyong pangalan ay nangagagalak sila buong araw: at sa iyong katuwiran ay nangatataas sila.
17 Sapagka't ikaw ang kaluwalhatian ng kanilang kalakasan: at sa iyong lingap ay matataas ang aming sungay.
18 Sapagka't ang aming kalasag ay ukol sa Panginoon; at ang aming hari ay sa banal ng Israel.
19 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita ka sa pangitain sa iyong mga banal, at iyong sinabi, Aking ipinagkatiwala ang saklolo sa isang makapangyarihan; Aking itinaas ang isang hirang mula sa bayan.
20 Aking nasumpungan si David na aking lingkod; Aking pinahiran siya ng aking banal na langis:
21 Na siyang itatatag ng aking kamay; palakasin naman siya ng aking bisig.
22 Hindi dadahas sa kaniya ang kaaway; ni dadalamhatiin man siya ng anak ng kasamaan.
23 At ibubuwal ko ang kaniyang mga kaaway sa harap niya, at sasaktan ko ang nangagtatanim sa kaniya.
24 Nguni't ang pagtatapat ko at ang kagandahang-loob ko ay sasa kaniya; at sa pangalan ko'y matataas ang kaniyang sungay.
25 Akin namang ilalapag ang kaniyang kamay sa dagat, at ang kaniyang kanan ay sa mga ilog.
26 Siya'y dadaing sa akin, Ikaw ay Ama ko, Dios ko, at malaking bato ng aking kaligtasan.
27 Akin namang gagawin siyang panganay ko, na pinakamataas sa mga hari sa lupa.
28 Ang kagandahang-loob ko'y aking iingatan sa kaniya magpakailan man, at ang tipan ko'y mananayong matibay sa kaniya.
29 Ang kaniya namang binhi ay pananatilihin ko magpakailan man, at ang luklukan niya'y parang mga araw ng langit.
30 Kung pabayaan ng kaniyang mga anak ang kautusan ko, at hindi magsilakad sa aking mga kahatulan;
31 Kung kanilang salangsangin ang mga palatuntunan ko, at hindi ingatan ang mga utos ko;
32 Kung magkagayo'y aking dadalawin ng pamalo ang kanilang mga pagsalangsang, at ng mga hampas ang kanilang kasamaan.
33 Nguni't ang aking kagandahang-loob ay hindi ko lubos na aalisin sa kaniya, ni akin mang titiisin na ang pagtatapat ko'y magkulang.
34 Ang tipan ko'y hindi ko sisirain, ni akin mang babaguhin ang bagay na lumabas sa aking mga labi.
35 Minsan ay sumampa ako sa pamamagitan ng aking kabanalan. Hindi ako magbubulaan kay David;
36 Ang kaniyang binhi ay mananatili magpakailan man; at ang kaniyang luklukan ay parang araw sa harap ko.
37 Matatatag magpakailan man na parang buwan, at tapat na saksi sa langit. (Selah)
38 Nguni't iyong itinakuwil at tinanggihan, ikaw ay napoot sa iyong pinahiran ng langis.
39 Iyong kinayamutan ang tipan ng iyong lingkod: iyong nilapastangan ang kaniyang putong sa pagtatapon sa lupa.
40 Iyong ibinuwal ang lahat niyang mga bakod: iyong dinala sa pagkaguho ang kaniyang mga katibayan.
41 Lahat na nagsisidaan sa lansangan ay nagsisisamsam sa kaniya. Siya'y naging kadustaan sa kaniyang mga kalapit.
42 Iyong itinaas ang kanan ng kaniyang mga kaaway; iyong pinagalak ang lahat niyang mga kaaway.
43 Oo, iyong ibinaligtad ang talim ng kaniyang tabak, at hindi mo itinayo siya sa pakikibaka.
44 Iyong pinapaglikat ang kaniyang kakinangan. At iyong ibinagsak ang kaniyang luklukan sa lupa.
45 Iyong pinaikli ang mga kaarawan ng kaniyang kabinataan: iyong tinakpan siya ng kahihiyan. (Selah)
46 Hanggang kailan, Oh Panginoon, magkukubli ka magpakailan man? Hanggang kailan magniningas ang iyong poot na parang apoy?
47 Oh alalahanin mo kung gaano kaikli ang aking panahon: sa anong pagkawalang kabuluhan nilalang mo ang lahat ng mga anak ng mga tao.
48 Sinong tao ang mabubuhay at hindi makakakita ng kamatayan, na magliligtas ng kaniyang kaluluwa sa kapangyarihan ng Sheol? (Selah)
49 Panginoon, saan nandoon ang iyong dating mga kagandahang-loob, na iyong isinumpa kay David sa iyong pagtatapat?
50 Alalahanin mo Panginoon, ang kadustaan ng iyong mga lingkod; kung paanong taglay ko sa aking sinapupunan ang pagdusta ng lahat na makapangyarihang bayan;
51 Na idinusta ng iyong mga kaaway, Oh Panginoon, na kanilang idinusta sa mga bakas ng iyong pinahiran ng langis.
52 Purihin ang Panginoon, magpakailan man. Siya nawa, at Siya nawa.
Psalm 89
King James Version
89 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
46 How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Psalm 89
New International Version
Psalm 89[a]
A maskil[b] of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1 I will sing(A) of the Lord’s great love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known(B)
through all generations.
2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.(C)
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant,
4 ‘I will establish your line forever
and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[c](D)
5 The heavens(E) praise your wonders, Lord,
your faithfulness too, in the assembly(F) of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(G)
7 In the council(H) of the holy ones(I) God is greatly feared;
he is more awesome than all who surround him.(J)
8 Who is like you,(K) Lord God Almighty?(L)
You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
9 You rule over the surging sea;
when its waves mount up, you still them.(M)
10 You crushed Rahab(N) like one of the slain;
with your strong arm you scattered(O) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(P) and yours also the earth;(Q)
you founded the world and all that is in it.(R)
12 You created the north and the south;
Tabor(S) and Hermon(T) sing for joy(U) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(V)
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(W)
love and faithfulness go before you.(X)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk(Y) in the light(Z) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(AA) all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(AB)
and by your favor you exalt our horn.[d](AC)
18 Indeed, our shield[e](AD) belongs to the Lord,
our king(AE) to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Once you spoke in a vision,
to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David(AF) my servant;(AG)
with my sacred oil(AH) I have anointed(AI) him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
surely my arm will strengthen him.(AJ)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(AK)
the wicked will not oppress(AL) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(AM)
and strike down his adversaries.(AN)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(AO)
and through my name his horn[f] will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers.(AP)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(AQ)
my God, the Rock(AR) my Savior.’(AS)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(AT)
the most exalted(AU) of the kings(AV) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
and my covenant with him will never fail.(AW)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as the heavens endure.(AX)
30 “If his sons forsake my law
and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
their iniquity with flogging;(AY)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(AZ)
nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
or alter what my lips have uttered.(BA)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
and his throne endure before me like the sun;(BB)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
the faithful witness in the sky.”(BC)
38 But you have rejected,(BD) you have spurned,
you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
and have defiled his crown in the dust.(BE)
40 You have broken through all his walls(BF)
and reduced his strongholds(BG) to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered(BH) him;
he has become the scorn of his neighbors.(BI)
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
you have made all his enemies rejoice.(BJ)
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
and have not supported him in battle.(BK)
44 You have put an end to his splendor
and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short(BL) the days of his youth;
you have covered him with a mantle of shame.(BM)
46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your wrath burn like fire?(BN)
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.(BO)
For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 Who can live and not see death,
or who can escape the power of the grave?(BP)
49 Lord, where is your former great love,
which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has[g] been mocked,(BQ)
how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,
with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.(BR)
52 Praise be to the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.(BS)

(A)A Hymn in Time of National Trouble[a]
89 O Lord, I will always sing of your constant love;
I will proclaim your faithfulness forever.
2 I know that your love will last for all time,
that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with the man I chose;
I have promised my servant David,
4 (B)‘A descendant of yours will always be king;
I will preserve your dynasty forever.’”
5 The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do;
the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, Lord.
6 No one in heaven is like you, Lord;
none of the heavenly beings is your equal.
7 You are feared in the council of the holy ones;
they all stand in awe of you.
8 Lord God Almighty, none is as mighty as you;
in all things you are faithful, O Lord.
9 You rule over the powerful sea;
you calm its angry waves.
10 You crushed the monster Rahab[b] and killed it;
with your mighty strength you defeated your enemies.
11 Heaven is yours, the earth also;
you made the world and everything in it.
12 You created the north and the south;
Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing to you for joy.
13 How powerful you are!
How great is your strength!
14 Your kingdom is founded on righteousness and justice;
love and faithfulness are shown in all you do.
15 How happy are the people who worship you with songs,
who live in the light of your kindness!
16 Because of you they rejoice all day long,
and they praise you for your goodness.
17 You give us great victories;
in your love you make us triumphant.
18 You, O Lord, chose our protector;
you, the Holy God of Israel, gave us our king.
God's Promise to David
19 In a vision long ago you said to your faithful servants,
“I have given help to a famous soldier;
I have given the throne to one I chose from the people.
20 (C)I have made my servant David king
by anointing him with holy oil.
21 My strength will always be with him,
my power will make him strong.
22 His enemies will never succeed against him;
the wicked will not defeat him.
23 I will crush his foes
and kill everyone who hates him.
24 I will love him and be loyal to him;
I will make him always victorious.
25 I will extend his kingdom
from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates River.
26 He will say to me,
‘You are my father and my God;
you are my protector and savior.’
27 (D)I will make him my first-born son,
the greatest of all kings.
28 I will always keep my promise to him,
and my covenant with him will last forever.
29 His dynasty will be as permanent as the sky;
a descendant of his will always be king.
30 “But if his descendants disobey my law
and do not live according to my commands,
31 if they disregard my instructions
and do not keep my commandments,
32 then I will punish them for their sins;
I will make them suffer for their wrongs.
33 But I will not stop loving David
or fail to keep my promise to him.
34 I will not break my covenant with him
or take back even one promise I made him.
35 “Once and for all I have promised by my holy name:
I will never lie to David.
36 He will always have descendants,
and I will watch over his kingdom as long as the sun shines.
37 It will be as permanent as the moon,
that faithful witness in the sky.”
Lament over the Defeat of the King
38 But you are angry with your chosen king;
you have deserted and rejected him.
39 You have broken your covenant with your servant
and thrown his crown in the dirt.
40 You have torn down the walls of his city
and left his forts in ruins.
41 All who pass by steal his belongings;
all his neighbors laugh at him.
42 You have given the victory to his enemies;
you have made them all happy.
43 You have made his weapons useless
and let him be defeated in battle.
44 You have taken away his royal scepter[c]
and knocked his throne to the ground.
45 You have made him old before his time
and covered him with disgrace.
A Prayer for Deliverance
46 Lord, will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your anger burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my life is;
remember that you created all of us mortal!
48 Who can live and never die?
How can we humans keep ourselves from the grave?
49 Lord, where are the former proofs of your love?
Where are the promises you made to David?
50 Don't forget how I, your servant, am insulted,
how I endure all the curses[d] of the heathen.
51 Your enemies insult your chosen king, O Lord!
They insult him wherever he goes.
52 Praise the Lord forever!
Amen! Amen!
