Psalms 89:3-36

³I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,

⁴Thy seede will I stablish for euer, and set vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

⁵O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.

⁶For who is equall to the Lord in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?

⁷God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.

⁸O Lord God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?

⁹Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise, thou stillest them.

¹⁰Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.

¹¹The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.

¹²Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.

¹³Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.

¹⁴Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.

¹⁵Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.

¹⁶They shall reioyce continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousnes shall they exalt them selues.

¹⁷For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.

¹⁸For our shield apperteineth to the Lord, and our King to the holy one of Israel.

¹⁹Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.

²¹Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.

²²The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.

²³But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

²⁴My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.

²⁵I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.

²⁶He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.

²⁷Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.

²⁸My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.

²⁹His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.

³⁰But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:

³¹If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:

³²Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.

³³Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.

³⁴My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,

³⁶His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.
