Psalms 89:31-47
-
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
-
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
-
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
-
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
-
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
-
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
-
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
-
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
-
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
-
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
-
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a 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 to the ground.
-
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
-
46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
-
47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
