Psalms 89 — Novel English Bible

1 I will shayar (sing) of the loving chasad (grace) of Yahawah () iwalam (forever). With my pah (mouth), I yadai (will) make known your amawanah (faithfulness) to all dawar (generation / age / period).

2 I amar (said) declare, “chasad (grace) stands firm iwalam (eternity). You kawan (established) the shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens). Your amawanah (faithfulness) is in them.”

3 “I have karath (cut) a barayath (covenant) with my bachayar (chosen) one, I have shabai (swear / take oath) to Dawad (David), my ibad (servant),

4 ‘I will kawan (establish) your zarai (seed) id (until / as far as), and banah (build) up your kasaa (throne) to all dawar (generation / age / period). Salah (selah).’”

5 The shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) will yadah (praise) your palaa (wonders), Yahawah (); your amawanah (faithfulness) also in the qahal (assembly) of the qadawash (holy) ones.

6 For who in the shachaq (skies) can be irak (compared) to Yahawah ()? Who among the banay (sons) of the heavenly beings is damah (like) Yahawah (),

7 A very awesome Al in the council of the qadawash (holy) ones, to be yaraa (fear / be afraid) above all those who are around him?

8 Yahawah (), Alahayam () of tzabaawath (armies), who is a chasayan (mighty) one, like you? Yah (), your amawanah (faithfulness) is around you.

9 You mashal (rule/have dominion) the gaawath (pride) of the yam (sea/waters). When its gal (waves) shawaa (vanity) up, you calm them.

10 You have dakaa (broken) Rahab (Rahab) in dakaa (pieces), like one of the chalal (slain). You have pazar (scattered) your ayab (enemy) with your iz (strength / might / refuge) zarawai (arm).

11 The shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) are yours. The aratz (Earth/land) also is yours; the thabal (world) and its fullness. You have founded them.

12 The tzapawan (north) and the yamayan (right hand), you have baraa (created) them. Thabawar (Tabor) and Charamawan (Hermon) ranan (rejoice) in your sham (name).

13 You have a gabawarah (mighty) zarawai (arm). Your yad (hand) is izaz (strong), and your right yad (hand) is rawam (will lift up).

14 Tzadaq (righteous / just / fair) and tzadaq (righteous / just / fair) are the makawan (foundation) of your kasaa (throne). Loving chasad (grace) and amath (truth) qadam (go) before your panayam (face).

15 Ashar (who/that) are the im (nation / people) who learn to acclaim you. They halak (move) in the awar (light) of your panayam (face), Yahawah ().

16 In your sham (name) they gayal (rejoice) all yawam (day). In your tzadaqah (righteousness), they are rawam (will lift up).

17 For you are the glory of their iz (strength / might / refuge). In your favor, our qaran (horn) will be rawam (will lift up).

18 For our magan (shield) belongs to Yahawah (); our malak (king) to the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel).

19 Then you dabar (word / matter) in chazawan (vision) to your chasayad (saints), and amar (said), “I have bestowed izar (strength) on the warrior. I have rawam (will lift up) a young gabawar (man) from the im (nation / people).

20 I matzaa (have) found Dawad (David), my ibad (servant). I have mashach (anointed) him with my qadash (set apart / make holy) shaman (oil),

21 With whom my yad (hand) shall be kawan (established). My zarawai (arm) will also amatz (strengthen) him.

22 No ayab (enemy) will tax him. No iwal (wicked) ban (son) will oppress him.

23 I will kathath (beat) down his tzar (oppressor / distressor) panayam (face) him, and nagap (strike) those who shanaa (hate) him.

24 But my amawanah (faithfulness) and my loving chasad (grace) will be with him. In my sham (name), his qaran (horn) will be rawam (will lift up).

25 I will shawam (place / establish / appoint) his yad (hand) also on the yam (sea/waters), and his right yamayan (right hand) on the naharawath (rivers).

26 He will qaraa (called) to me, ‘You are my ab (father), my Al, and the tzawar (rock) of my yashawaih (salvation)!’

27 I will also nathan (give) him my bakawar (firstborn), the highest of the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land).

28 I will shamar (keep/guard) my loving chasad (grace) for him forevermore. My barayath (covenant) will stand firm with him.

29 I will also shawam (place / establish / appoint) his zarai (seed) endure id (until / as far as), and his kasaa (throne) as the yamay (days) of shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens).

30 If his ban (son) izab (forsake) my thawarah (Torah / Instruction), and don't yalak (walk) in my mashapat (ordinances);

31 If they chalal (break) my chaqah (statutes), and don't shamar (keep/guard) my matzawah (commandments);

32 Then I will paqad (visit) their pashai (sin) with the shabat (rod), and their iwan (guilt/iniquity) with nagaiyam (stripes).

33 But I will not completely pawar (take) my loving chasad (grace) from him, nor allow my amawanah (faithfulness) to shaqar (fail).

34 I will not chalal (break) my barayath (covenant), nor shanah (alter) what my shapah (lips) have uttered.

35 Achad (one) have I shabai (swear / take oath) by my qadash (set apart / make holy), I will not kazab (lie) to Dawad (David).

36 His zarai (seed) will endure iwalam (eternity), his kasaa (throne) like the shamash (sun) before me.

37 It will be kawan (established) iwalam (eternity) like the yarach (moon), the aman (believe / have faith) id (until / as far as) in the shachaq (sky). Salah (selah).”

38 But you have rejected and spurned. You ibar (pass over/through) been angry with your mashayach (anointed one).

39 You have renounced the barayath (covenant) of your ibad (servant). You have chalal (defiled) his nazar (crown / consecrate) in the dust.

40 You have paratz (broken) down all his gadarah (hedges). You have shawam (place / establish / appoint) his strongholds to machathah (ruin).

41 Ibar (pass over/through) who pass by the darak (way) rob him. He has become a charapah (reproach) to his neighbors.

42 You have rawam (will lift up) the right yamayan (right hand) of his tzar (oppressor / distressor). You have made all of his ayab (enemy) shamach (rejoice).

43 Yes, you shawab (turn) back the tzawar (edge) of his charab (sword), and haven't supported him in malachamah (battle).

44 You have ended his splendor, and thrown his kasaa (throne) down to the aratz (Earth/land).

45 You have shortened the yamay (days) of his ilawam (youth). You have itah (covered) him with bawashah (shame). Salah (selah).

46 How long, Yahawah ()? Will you sathar (hide) yourself natzach (forever)? Will your chamah (wrath) bair (burn) like ash (fire)?

47 Zakar (remember) how chalad (short) my time is! For what shawaa (vanity) have you created all the banay (my son) of banay (my son)!

48 What gabar (man) is he who shall chayah (live) and not raah (see / saw) mawath (death), who shall malat (deliver) his napash (soul) from the yad (hand) of shaawal (Sheol / afterlife)? Salah (selah).

49 Adanay (), where are your raashawan (former) chasad (grace) kindnesses, which you shabai (swear / take oath) to Dawad (David) in your amawanah (faithfulness)?

50 Zakar (remember), Adanay (), the charapah (reproach) of your ibad (servant), how I nashaa (lift) in my chayaq (heart) the taunts of all the rab (mighty) imayam (peoples),

51 With which your ayab (enemy) have mocked, Yahawah (), with which they have mocked the iqabawath (footsteps) of your mashayach (anointed one) one.

52 Barak (blessed) be Yahawah () forevermore. Aman (believe / have faith), and aman (believe / have faith).
