Psalms 89:12-37

¹²The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.

¹³Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

¹⁵Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.

¹⁶In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.

¹⁷For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

¹⁸For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him:

²¹With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

²⁴But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

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

²⁶He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.

²⁷I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him.

²⁹His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

³¹If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;

³²Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

³⁶His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.

³⁷It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
