Psalms 89

1 Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me; people not yet born will hear that you faithfully [do all that you have promised].

A poem of Ethan the Ezrachite. [the] covenant loyalti of Yahweh forever I will sing to a generation and a generation - I will make known faithfulness your with mouth my.

2 I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever, and that your being faithful [to do what you have promised] is as permanent as the sky.

For I have said forever covenant loyalty it will be built [the] heavens - you establish faithfulness your in them.

3 Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose [to serve me]. I have made this solemn (agreement with/promise to) him:

I have made a covenant to chosen one my I have sworn an oath to David servant my.

4 ‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”

Until perpetuity I will establish offspring your and I will build to a generation and a generation throne your (Selah)

5 Yahweh, I desire that all [those beings who are in] [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do, and that all your holy angels will sing about how you faithfully [do what you promise].

So they may praise [the] heavens wonder[s] your O Yahweh also faithfulness your in [the] assembly of [the] holy [ones].

6 There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh. There are no angels [RHQ] in heaven who are equal to you.

For who? in the cloud[s] is he comparable to Yahweh is he like? Yahweh among [the] sons of gods.

7 When your holy angels gather together, they declare that you must be revered; they say that you are more awesome than all the angels that surround your throne!

God [is] awesome in [the] council of [the] holy [ones] much and to be feared above all [those] around him.

8 O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are; your faithfully doing [all that you promise] is [like a cloak that] [MET] [always] surrounds you.

O Yahweh - God of hosts who? like you [is] mighty - O Yahweh and faithfulness your [is] around you.

9 You rule over the powerful seas; when their waves rise up, you calm them.

You [are] ruling over [the] swelling of the sea when rise up waves its you you calm them.

10 You are the one who crushed [and killed the great sea monster named] Rahab. You [defeated and] scattered your enemies with your great power [MTY].

You you crushed like [one] slain Rahab with [the] arm of strength your you scattered enemies your.

11 The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; and everything on the earth is yours, because you created it all.

[belongs] to You heaven also [belongs] to you [the] earth [the] world and what fills it you you founded them.

12 You created [everything from] the north to the south. Tabor [Mountain] and Hermon [Mountain] joyfully praise you [MTY].

[the] north And [the] south you you created them Tabor and Hermon at name your they shout for joy.

13 (You/Your arms) are very powerful; (you/your hands) are extremely strong.

[belongs] to You an arm with strength it is strong hand your it is exalted right [hand] your.

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].

[is] righteousness And justice [the] foundation of throne your covenant loyalty and faithfulness they come to meet face your.

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

How blessed! [is] the people [which] know a shout of joy O Yahweh in [the] light of presence your they walk!

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

In name your they rejoice! all the day and in righteousness your they are exalted.

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

For [are] [the] splendor of strength their you and in favor your (it is exalted *QK) horn our.

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

For [belongs] to Yahweh shield our and [belongs] to [the] holy [one] of Israel king our.

19 Long 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.

Then you spoke in a vision to faithful [people] your and you said I have placed help on a warrior I have raised up a chosen [one] from [the] people.

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

I have found David servant my with [the] oil of holiness my I have anointed him.

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

Whom hand my it will be steadfast with him also arm my it will strengthen him.

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

Not he will deceive an enemy him and a son of injustice not he will afflict him.

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

And I will crush from before him opponents his and [those who] hate him I will strike down.

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

And faithfulness my and covenant loyalty my [will be] with him and in name my it will be exalted horn his.

25 I will cause (his kingdom/the area that he rules) to include all the land from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Euphrates] River.

And I will set on the sea hand his and on the rivers right [hand] his.

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

He he will call out to me [are] father my you God my and [the] rock of salvation my.

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

Also I firstborn I will make him most high to [the] kings of [the] earth.

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

For ever (I will keep *Qk) to him covenant loyalty my and covenant my [will be] reliable to him.

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

And I will establish for ever offspring his and throne his like [the] days of [the] heavens.

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

If they will forsake sons his law my and in judgments my not they will walk!

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

If statutes my they will violate and commandments my not they will keep.

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

And I will punish with a rod transgression their and with plagues iniquity their.

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

And covenant loyalty my not I will break off from with him and not I will deal falsely with faithfulness my.

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

Not I will violate covenant my and [the] utterance of lips my not I will change.

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

One [time] I have sworn an oath by holiness my if to David I will lie.

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

Offspring his for ever it will be and throne his like the sun before me.

37 That line will (be as permanent/last as long) as the moon that is always watching everything from the sky.

Like [the] moon it will be established forever and a witness in the cloud[s] [will be] reliable (Selah)

38 But [Yahweh], now you have rejected [DOU] David! You are very angry with the king whom you appointed.

And you you have spurned and you have rejected you have been furious with anointed your.

39 [It seems that] you have broken the agreement that you made with your servant, [David]; it seems as though you [have signaled that he is no longer the king by] throwing his crown into the dust/dirt.

You have repudiated [the] covenant of servant your you have profaned to the ground crown his.

40 You have torn down the walls [that protect] his [city], and allowed all his forts to become ruins.

You have broken through all walls his you have made strongholds his a ruin.

41 All those who pass by plunder/steal his possessions; his neighbors (laugh at/ridicule) him.

They have plundered him all [those who] pass by of [the] road he has become a reproach to neighbors his.

42 You have enabled his enemies to defeat him; you have made them all happy.

You have exalted [the] right [hand] of opponents his you have made to rejoice all enemies his.

43 You have caused his sword to become useless, and you have not helped him in his battles.

Also you turn back [the] flint of sword his and not you have raised up him in battle.

44 You have caused his splendor to end (OR, You have taken away his power by knocking his throne to the ground.

You have made cease from luster his and throne his to the ground you have thrown.

45 You have caused him to look old when he is still young and caused him to be very shamed/disgraced.

You have made short [the] days of youth his you have wrapped on him shame (Selah)

46 O Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like a fire?

Until when? O Yahweh will you hide yourself? to perpetuity will it burn? like a fire anger your.

47 Do not forget that life is very short; have you created all us people in vain?

Remember I what? [is] lifespan concerning what? emptiness have you created all [the] children of humankind.

48 No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die; (No one can [RHQ] avoid going/Everyone will go) to the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)

Who? [is the] man [who] he will live and not he will see death [who] he will deliver life his from [the] hand of Sheol (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

49 Yahweh, you promised long ago that you would faithfully love us; why are you not doing that? You solemnly promised that to David!

Where? - [are] covenant loyalti your former - O Lord [which] you swore an oath to David in faithfulness your.

50 Yahweh, do not forget that people insult me! (Heathen people/People who do not know you) curse me!

Remember O Lord [the] reproach of servants your bearing my in bosom my all many peoples.

51 Yahweh, your enemies insult your chosen king! They insult/ridicule him wherever he goes.

Which they have reproached enemies your - O Yahweh which they have reproached [the] footprints of anointed your.

52 I hope/desire that Yahweh will be praised forever! Amen! May it be so!

[be] blessed Yahweh for ever amen - and amen.
