Psalms 89:11-46

¹¹Heavens be thine, and the earth is thine; thou hast founded the world, and the fullness thereof;

¹²thou madest of nought the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon shall make full out joy in thy name;

¹³thine arm with power. Thine hand be made steadfast, and thy right hand be enhanced;

¹⁴rightfulness or rightwiseness and doom is the making ready of thy seat. Mercy and truth shall go before thy face;

¹⁵blessed is the people that know a hearty song. Lord, they shall go in the light of thy cheer;

¹⁶and in thy name they shall make full out joy all day; and they shall be enhanced in thy rightfulness or right-wiseness.

¹⁷For thou art the glory of the virtue of them; and in thy good pleasance our horn shall be enhanced.

¹⁸For our taking up is of the Lord; and of the Holy of Israel our king.

¹⁹Then thou spakest in revelation to thy saints, and saidest, I have set or put help in the mighty; and I have enhanced the chosen man of my people.

²⁰I found David, my servant; I anointed him with mine holy oil.

²¹For mine hand shall help him; and mine arm shall confirm him.

²²The enemy shall nothing profit in him; and the son of wickedness shall not lay to or put to, for to annoy him.

²³And I shall slay his enemies from his face; and I shall turn into flight them that hate him.

²⁴And my truth and mercy shall be with him; and his horn shall be enhanced in my name.

²⁵And I shall set or put his hand in the sea; and his right hand in floods.

²⁶He shall inwardly call me, Thou art my father; my God, and the up-taker of mine health.

²⁷And I shall set him the first be-gotten son; higher than the kings of earth.

²⁸Without end I shall keep my mercy to him; and my testament faithful to him.

²⁹And I shall set his seed into the world of world; and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰Forsooth if his sons forsake my law; and go not in my dooms.

³¹If they make unholy my rightful-nesses; and keep not my command-ments.

³²I shall visit in a rod the wicked-nesses of them; and in beatings the sins of them.

³³But I shall not scatter my mercy from him; and in my truth I shall not annoy him.

³⁴Neither I shall make unholy my testament; and I shall not make void those things that come forth of my lips.

³⁵Once I swore in mine holiness, I shall not lie to David;

³⁶his seed shall dwell without end. And his throne as the sun in my sight,

³⁷and as a perfect moon without end; and a faithful witness in heaven.

³⁸But thou hast put away, and despised; and hast delayed thy christ.

³⁹Thou hast turned away the testa-ment of thy servant; thou madest unholy his saintuary in earth.

⁴⁰Thou destroyedest all the hedges thereof; thou hast set the steadfastness thereof into dread.

⁴¹All men passing by the way ravished him; he is made a shame to his neighbours.

⁴²Thou hast enhanced the right hand of men oppressing him; thou hast gladdened all his enemies.

⁴³Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and thou helpedest not him in battle.

⁴⁴Thou destroyedest him from cleansing; and thou hast hurled down his seat in the earth.

⁴⁵Thou hast made less the days of his time; thou hast beshed him with shame.

⁴⁶Lord, how long turnest thou away, into the end; shall thine ire burn out as fire?
