Psalms 89:14-36

¹⁴◄Your rule MTY over us is based on/As you rule over us, you are always► treating people fairly and justly, and on/are always faithfully loving us and doing what you promised.

¹⁵Yahweh, happy are the people who worship you with joyful shouts, who live knowing that you are always watching over them.

¹⁶Every day, throughout the day, they rejoice in what you MTY have done, and they praise you for being very good to them.

¹⁷You give us your glorious strength; because you act in our favor, we defeat MET our enemies.

¹⁸Yahweh, you gave us the one who protects us MET; you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship, chose a king for us.

¹⁹Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying, “I have helped a famous soldier; I chose him from among all the people to be a king.

²⁰That man is David, the one who will serve me faithfully, and I anointed him with sacred olive oil to make him king.

²¹I MTY will always strengthen him; with my power MTY I will make him strong.

²²His enemies will never find ways to defeat him, and wicked people will never defeat him.

²³I will crush his enemies in front of him and get rid of those who hate him.

²⁴I will always be loyal to him and faithfully love him and enable him to defeat MET his enemies.

²⁵I will cause ◄his kingdom/the area that he rules► to include all the land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.

²⁶He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the one who protects MET and saves me.’

²⁷I will give him the rights/privileges that a man's firstborn son has MET; he will be the greatest king on the earth.

²⁸I will always be loyal to him, and my agreement to bless him will last forever.

²⁹I will establish a line of his descendants that will never end, various ones of his descendants will always be kings.

³⁰But, if some of his descendants disobey my laws, and do not not behave like my commands say that they should,

³¹if they disregard my requirements and do not do the right things that I have told them to do,

³²I will punish them severely MTY and cause them to suffer for doing wrong.

³³But I will not stop faithfully loving David, and I will always do what I promised him.

³⁴I will not break the agreement that I made with him; I will not change even one word that I spoke to him.

³⁵Once I made a solemn promise to David, and that will never change, and because I am God, I will never lie to David.

³⁶I promised that the line of kings descended from him will go on forever; it will last as long as the sun shines.
