^89:19Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said: “I have set the crown on one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

^89:20I have found my servant David; with my holy oil I have anointed him;

^89:21my hand shall always remain with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.

^89:22The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him.

^89:23I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.

^89:24My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him; and in my name his horn shall be exalted.

^89:25I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

^89:26He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’

^89:27I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

^89:28Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm.

^89:29I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure.

^89:30If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances,

^89:31if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,

^89:32then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with scourges;

^89:33but I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness.

^89:34I will not violate my covenant, or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

^89:35Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

^89:36His line shall continue forever, and his throne endure before me like the sun.

^89:37It shall be established forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the skies.” Selah

^89:38But now you have spurned and rejected him; you are full of wrath against your anointed.

^89:39You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.

^89:40You have broken through all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.

^89:41All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

^89:42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.

^89:43Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not supported him in battle.

^89:44You have removed the scepter from his hand, and hurled his throne to the ground.

^89:45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah

^89:46How long, O Lord ? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?

^89:47Remember how short my time is— for what vanity you have created all mortals!

^89:48Who can live and never see death? Who can escape the power of Sheol? Selah

^89:49Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?

^89:50Remember, O Lord, how your servant is taunted; how I bear in my bosom the insults of the peoples,

^89:51with which your enemies taunt, O Lord , with which they taunted the footsteps of your anointed.

^89:52Blessed be the Lord forever. Amen and Amen.

^133:0The Blessedness of Unity.
A Song of Ascents.

^133:1How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!

^133:2It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes.

^133:3It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing, life forevermore.
