Psalms 89:12-37

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

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

¹⁴Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: Mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

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

¹⁶In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: And in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

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

¹⁸For the Lord is our defence; And the Holy One of Israel is our king.

¹⁹Then 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.

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 upon him; Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³And I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague them that hate him.

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

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

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

²⁷Also I will make him my firstborn, Higher than the kings of the earth.

²⁸My mercy 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 my judgments;

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

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

³³Nevertheless 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 That 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 a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
