Nahum 1:9-13

(E)They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.
11 From you comes forth one
Who plots evil against the Lord,
A [b]wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord:
“Though they are [c]safe, and likewise many,
Yet in this manner they will be (F)cut down
When he passes through.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more;
13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
And burst your bonds apart.”

Psalm 89:20-52
New King James Version
20 (A)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 (B)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [a]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.
24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25 Also I will (C)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are (D)my Father,
My God, and (E)the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him (F)My firstborn,
(G)The highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (H)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,
(I)And his throne (J)as the days of heaven.
30 “If(K) his sons (L)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [b]break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 (M)Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [c]utterly take from him,
Nor [d]allow My faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor (N)alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35 Once I have sworn (O)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
36 (P)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne (Q)as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38 But You have (R)cast off and (S)abhorred,[e]
You have been furious with Your [f]anointed.
39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;
(T)You have [g]profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his [h]strongholds to ruin.
41 All who pass by the way (U)plunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.
44 You have made his [i]glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth You have shortened;
You have covered him with shame. Selah
46 How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time (V)is;
For what (W)futility have You created all the children of men?
48 What man can live and not [j]see (X)death?
Can he deliver his life from the power of [k]the grave? Selah
49 Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
Which You (Y)swore to David (Z)in Your truth?
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants—
(AA)How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 (AB)With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your [l]anointed.
52 (AC)Blessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen.
