Psalms 89:34-52
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 89
34I will not violate My covenant, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. 35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His descendants shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me. 37It shall be established forever like the moon, And a witness in the sky is faithful.' Selah 38But You have rejected and refused, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed. 39You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust. 40You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin. 41All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a disgrace to his neighbors. 42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle. 44You have put an end to his splendor And cast his throne to the ground. 45You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah 46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? 47Remember what my lifespan is; For what futility You have created all the sons of mankind! 48What man can live and not see death? Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? 50Remember, Lord, the taunt against Your servants; How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples, 51With which Your enemies have taunted, Lord, With which they have taunted the footsteps of Your anointed. 52Blessed be the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.King James Version
Chapter 89
34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

Chapter 89
34I will not violate my covenant or change what my lips have said. 35Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me,
37like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky." Selah
38But you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed.
39You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have completely dishonored his crown.
40You have broken down all his walls; you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.
41All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.
42You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle.
44You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.
45You have shortened the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
46How long, Lord? Will you hide forever? Will your anger keep burning like fire?
47Remember how short my life is. Have you created everyone for nothing?
48What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah
49Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness?
50Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants -- in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples --
New Living Translation
Chapter 89
34No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said. 35I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie: 36His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.
38But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king.
39You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust.
40You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him.
41Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.
42You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice.
43You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.
44You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne.
46O Lord, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?
47Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!
English Standard Version
Chapter 89
34I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. 35Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. 37Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah 38But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. 39You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. 40You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins. 41All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. 42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle. 44You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. 45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah 46How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? 47Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! 48What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah 49Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? 50Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, 51with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed. 52Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.New International Version
Chapter 89
34I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered. 35Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David-- 36that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.'
38But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.
40You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.
41All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.
44You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.
46How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!
48Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
49Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
New King James Version
Chapter 89
34My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. 35Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David: 36 His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
38But You have cast off and abhorred, You have been furious with Your anointed.
39You have renounced the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41All who pass by the way plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, And have not sustained him in the battle.
44You have made his glory cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.
46How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?
49Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses, Which You swore to David in Your truth?
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants— How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord, With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
52 Blessed be the Lord forevermore! Amen and Amen.
