Psalm 89:30–52

30  pIf his children qforsake my law,

And walk not in my judgments;

31  If they †break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

32  Then will I rvisit their transgression with sthe rod,

And their iniquity with sstripes.

33  Nevertheless cmy lovingkindness †will I not utterly take from him,

Nor suffer cmy faithfulness †to fail.

34  lMy covenant will I not tbreak,

Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35  Once have I usworn vby my holiness

†That I will not lie unto David.

36  mHis seed shall endure for ever,

And nhis throne xas the sun before me.

37  It shall be established for ever as xthe moon,

And as a faithful ywitness in heaven. Selah.

38  But thou hast zcast off and ababhorred,

Thou achast been wroth with dthine anointed.

39  Thou hast emade void the covenant of thy servant:

fThou hast profaned ghis crown by casting it hto the ground.

40  iThou hast broken down all his hedges;

Thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

41  iAll that pass by the way spoil him:

He is ja reproach to his neighbours.

42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;

Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword,

And hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44  Thou hast made his †glory to cease,

And cast his throne down hto the ground.

45  kThe days of his youth hast thou shortened:

Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

46  lmHow long, Lord? mwilt thou hide thyself mfor ever?

Shall thy wrath nburn like fire?

47  oRemember how short pmy time is:

Wherefore hast thou made all qmen in vain?

48  rWhat man is he that liveth, and shall not ssee death?

Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

49  Lord, where are thy former tlovingkindnesses,

Which thou uswarest unto David in thy tvtruth?

50  wRemember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;

How I do bear xin my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

51  Wherewith wthine enemies have reproached, O Lord;

Wherewith they have reproached the yfootsteps of dthine anointed.

52  zBlessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
