With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. [2](#verse-2) I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.” [3](#verse-3) “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant, [4](#verse-4) ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah. [5](#verse-5) The heavens will praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. [6](#verse-6) For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD, [7](#verse-7) a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him? [8](#verse-8) LORD, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? LORD, your faithfulness is around you. [9](#verse-9) You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them. [10](#verse-10) You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. [11](#verse-11) The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them. [12](#verse-12) You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. [13](#verse-13) You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted. [14](#verse-14) Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face. [15](#verse-15) Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, LORD. [16](#verse-16) In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted. [17](#verse-17) For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted. [18](#verse-18) For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. [19](#verse-19) Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people. [20](#verse-20) I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil, [21](#verse-21) with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him. [22](#verse-22) No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him. [23](#verse-23) I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him. [24](#verse-24) But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted. [25](#verse-25) I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers. [26](#verse-26) He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’ [27](#verse-27) I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. [28](#verse-28) I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him. [29](#verse-29) I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. [30](#verse-30) If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances; [31](#verse-31) if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments; [32](#verse-32) then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. [33](#verse-33) But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail. [34](#verse-34) I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered. [35](#verse-35) Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David. [36](#verse-36) His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me. [37](#verse-37) It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah. [38](#verse-38) But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed. [39](#verse-39) You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust. [40](#verse-40) You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin. [41](#verse-41) All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors. [42](#verse-42) You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice. [43](#verse-43) Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle. [44](#verse-44) You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground. [45](#verse-45) You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah. [46](#verse-46) How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire? [47](#verse-47) Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children of men! [48](#verse-48) What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah. [49](#verse-49) Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness? [50](#verse-50) Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples, [51](#verse-51) With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one. [52](#verse-52) Blessed be the LORD forever more. Amen, and Amen. [← Psalms 88](/bible/psalms/88)[Psalms 90 →](/bible/psalms/90) World English Bible · Public domain ## Keep what speaks to you.
