Maskil of Eitan the Ezrachite

89:1 I will sing of the mercies of YHWH (יהוה) for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

89:2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

89:3 I have made a Brit with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My eved,

89:4 Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

89:5 And the heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O YHWH (יהוה): thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the chasidim.

89:6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto YHWH (יהוה)? [who] among the benai the mighty can be likened unto YHWH (יהוה)?

89:7 Elohim (אלהים) is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the chasidim, and to be had in reverence of all [them that are] about him.

89:8 O YHWH (יהוה) Elohim (אלהים) Tzava'ot, who [is] a strong YHWH (יהוה) like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

89:10 Thou hast broken Rahav in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

89:11 The heavens [are] thine, the eretz also [is] thine: [as for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

89:12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Thy Name.

89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is Thy hand, [and] high is thy right hand.

89:14 Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of Thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.

89:15 Ashrei [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O YHWH (יהוה), in the light of Thy countenance.

89:16 In Thy Name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy Tzedek shall they be exalted.

89:17 For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

89:18 For YHWH (יהוה) [is] our defence; and the set apart One of Yisrael [is] our king.

89:19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy set apart one, and saidst, I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out of the people.

89:20 I have found David My eved; with My set apart oil have I anointed him:

89:21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

89:22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

89:23 And I will beat down His foes before His face, and plague them that hate him.

89:24 But my faithfulness and My mercy [shall be] with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

89:25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] My father, Elohai, and the rock of my salvation.

89:27 Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the kings of the eretz.

89:28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and My Brit shall stand fast with him.

89:29 His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

89:30 If His banim forsake My Torah, and walk not in My mishpatim (judgments);

89:31 If they break My chukkot (statutes), and keep not My mitzvot;

89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

89:33 Nevertheless My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness to fail.

89:34 My Brit will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.

89:35 Once have I sworn by My Kadosh(Set Apartness) that I will not lie unto David.

89:36 His seed shall endure forever, and His throne as the sun before me.

89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

89:38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

89:39 Thou hast made void the Brit of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

89:40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

89:41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

89:42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

89:43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

89:44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

89:45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

89:46 How long, YHWH (יהוה)? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall Thy wrath burn like fire?

89:47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

89:48 What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his nefesh from the hand of the grave? Selah.

89:49 YHWH (יהוה)*, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which] thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

89:50 Remember, YHWH (יהוה)*, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;

89:51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O YHWH (יהוה); wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

89:52 Ashrei [be] YHWH (יהוה) for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
