Psalm 89:19-37

New King James Version

¹⁹Then You spoke in a vision to Your ^[a]holy one,
And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one ^(A)chosen from the people.
²⁰^(B)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
²¹^(C)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
²²The enemy shall not ^[b]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
²³I 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.
²⁵Also I will ^(D)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
²⁶He shall cry to Me, ‘You are ^(E)my Father,
My God, and ^(F)the rock of my salvation.’
²⁷Also I will make him ^(G)My firstborn,
^(H)The highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸^(I)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
²⁹His seed also I will make to endure forever,
^(J)And his throne ^(K)as the days of heaven.

³⁰“If^(L) his sons ^(M)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
³¹If they ^[c]break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
³²Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
³³^(N)Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not ^[d]utterly take from him,
Nor ^[e]allow My faithfulness to fail.
³⁴My covenant I will not break,
Nor ^(O)alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
³⁵Once I have sworn ^(P)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
³⁶^(Q)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne ^(R)as the sun before Me;
³⁷It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

Psalm 89:19-37

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁹Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

²⁰I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

²¹With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

²²An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

²³And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

²⁴And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

²⁵And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

²⁶He proclaimeth me: `Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

²⁷I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.

²⁹And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

³⁰If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

³¹If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

³²I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

³³And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

³⁴I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

³⁵Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

³⁶His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,

³⁷As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.

Psalm 89:19-37

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹^[a]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ^[b]ones,
And said, “I have ^[c]given help to one who is ^(A)mighty;
I have exalted one ^(B)chosen from the people.
²⁰I have ^(C)found My servant David;
With My holy ^(D)oil I have anointed him,
²¹With whom ^(E)My hand will be established;
My arm also will ^(F)strengthen him.
²²The enemy will not ^[d]deceive him,
Nor will the ^[e]^(G)son of wickedness afflict him.
²³But I will ^(H)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
²⁴My ^(I)faithfulness and My favor will be with him,
And in My name his ^(J)horn will be exalted.
²⁵I will also place his hand ^(K)on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
²⁶He will call to Me, ‘You are ^(L)my Father,
My God, and the ^(M)rock of my salvation.’
²⁷I will also make him My ^(N)firstborn,
The ^(O)highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸I will maintain My ^(P)favor for him forever,
And My ^(Q)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
²⁹So I will establish his ^[f]^(R)descendants forever,
And his ^(S)throne ^(T)as the days of heaven.

³⁰“If his sons ^(U)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
³¹If they ^[g]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
³²Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the ^(V)rod,
And their guilt with ^[h]afflictions.
³³But I will not ^[i]withhold ^(W)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
³⁴I will not ^[j]violate My ^(X)covenant,
Nor will I ^(Y)alter ^[k]the utterance of My lips.
³⁵^[l]Once I have ^(Z)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
³⁶His ^[m]^(AA)descendants shall endure forever,
And his ^(AB)throne ^(AC)as the sun before Me.
³⁷It shall be established forever ^(AD)like the moon,
And a ^(AE)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
