89 ⁽⁰⁾ A maskil of Eitan the Ezrachi:

^2 (1) I will sing about Adonai’s acts of grace forever,
with my mouth proclaim your faithfulness to all generations;
^3 (2) because I said, “Grace is built to last forever;
in the heavens themselves you established your faithfulness.”

^4 (3) You said, “I made a covenant with the one I chose,
I swore to my servant David,
^5 (4) ‘I will establish your dynasty forever,
build up your throne through all generations.’” (Selah)

^6 (5) Let the heavens praise your wonders, Adonai,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the angels.
^7 (6) For who in the skies can be compared with Adonai?
Which of these gods can rival Adonai,
^8 (7) a God dreaded in the great assembly of the holy ones
and feared by all around him?

^9 (8) Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot!
Who is as mighty as you, Yah?
Your faithfulness surrounds you.
^10 (9) You control the raging of the sea;
when its waves rear up, you calm them.
^11 (10) You crushed Rahav like a carcass;
with your strong arm you scattered your foes.
^12 (11) The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;
you founded the world and everything in it.
^13 (12) You created north and south;
Tavor and Hermon take joy in your name.

^14 (13) Your arm is mighty, your hand is strong,
your right hand is lifted high.
^15 (14) Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
grace and truth attend you.

^16 (15) How happy are the people who know the joyful shout!
They walk in the light of your presence, Adonai.
^17 (16) They rejoice in your name all day
and are lifted up by your righteousness,
^18 (17) for you yourself are the strength in which they glory.
Our power grows by pleasing you,
^19 (18) for our shield comes from Adonai —
our king is from the Holy One of Isra’el.

^20 (19) There was a time when you spoke in a vision;
you declared to your loyal [prophets],
“I have given help to a warrior,
I have raised up someone chosen from the people.
^21 (20) I have found David my servant
and anointed him with my holy oil.
^22 (21) My hand will always be with him,
and my arm will give him strength.
^23 (22) No enemy will outwit him,
no wicked man overcome him.
^24 (23) I will crush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
^25 (24) My faithfulness and grace will be with him;
through my name his power will grow.
^26 (25) I will put his hand on the sea
and his right hand on the rivers.
^27 (26) He will call to me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
^28 (27) I will give him the position of firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
^29 (28) I will keep my grace for him forever,
and in my covenant be faithful with him.
^30 (29) I will establish his dynasty forever,
and his throne as long as the heavens last.

^31 (30) “If his descendants abandon my Torah
and fail to live by my rulings,
^32 (31) if they profane my regulations
and don’t obey my mitzvot,
^33 (32) I will punish their disobedience with the rod
and their guilt with lashes.
^34 (33) But I won’t withdraw my grace from him
or be false to my faithfulness.
^35 (34) I will not profane my covenant
or change what my lips have spoken.
^36 (35) I have sworn by my holiness once and for all;
I will not lie to David —
^37 (36) his dynasty will last forever,
his throne like the sun before me.
^38 (37) It will be established forever, like the moon,
which remains a faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)

^39 (38) But you spurned your anointed one,
rejected and vented your rage on him.
^40 (39) You renounced the covenant with your servant
and defiled his crown in the dust.
^41 (40) You broke through all his defenses
and left his strongholds in ruins.
^42 (41) All who pass by plunder him;
he is an object of scorn to his neighbors.
^43 (42) You raised up the right hand of his foes
and made all his enemies rejoice.
^44 (43) You drive back his drawn sword
and fail to support him in battle.
^45 (44) You brought an end to his splendor
and hurled his throne to the ground.
^46 (45) You cut short the days of his youth
and covered him with shame. (Selah)

^47 (46) How long, Adonai? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your fury burn like fire?
^48 (47) Remember how little time I have!
Was it for no purpose that you created all humanity?
^49 (48) Who can live and not see death?
Who can save himself from the power of the grave? (Selah)
^50 (49) Where, Adonai, are the acts of grace you once did,
those which, in your faithfulness, you swore to David?
^51 (50) Remember, Adonai, the taunts hurled at your servants,
which I carry in my heart [from] so many peoples!
^52 (51) Your enemies, Adonai, have flung their taunts,
flung them in the footsteps of your anointed one.

^53 (52) Blessed be Adonai forever.
Amen. Amen.
