Psalms 89:2-36

²For thou saidest, Without end mercy shall be builded in heavens; thy truth shall be made ready in those or them.

³Thou saidest, I disposed a testa-ment to my chosen men; I swore to David, my servant,

⁴till into without end I shall make ready thy seed. And I shall build thy seat; in generation, and into generation.

⁵Lord, heavens shall acknowledge thy marvels; and thy truth in the church of saints.

⁶For who in the clouds shall be made even to the Lord; shall be like God among the sons of God?

⁷God, that is glorified in the council of saints; is great, and dreadful over all that be in his compass.

⁸Lord God of virtues, who is like thee? Lord, thou art mighty, and thy truth is in thy compass.

⁹Thou art Lord of the power of the sea; forsooth thou assuagest the stirring of the waves thereof.

¹⁰Thou madest low the proud, as wounded; in the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thine enemies.

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,
