Tehillim 89

²I will sing of the mercies of Hashem olam;

with my mouth will I make known

Thy emunah (faithfulness) to dor vador.

³For I have said: Chesed shall be built up olam;

Thy emunah (faithfulness) shalt Thou establish in Shomayim itself.

⁴I have made a Brit with My Bechir (Chosen one) ,

I have sworn unto Dovid Avdi,

⁵Thy Zera will I establish ad olam,

and build up thy kisse to dor vador.

Selah

⁶And Shomayim shall praise Thy wonders, O Hashem ;

Thy emunah (faithfulness) also in the Kahal Kedoshim.

⁷For who in the heavens can be compared unto Hashem ?

Who among the bnei elim can be likened unto Hashem ?

⁸G-d is greatly to be feared in the sod Kedoshim (council of the holy ones) ,

and is awesome over all them that are around Him.

⁹Hashem Elohei Tzva'os,

who is like Thee, O Mighty One, Hashem ?

Thy emunah also surrounds Thee!

¹⁰Thou rulest the raging of the yam;

when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

¹¹Thou hast broken Rachav in pieces, as one that is slain;

Thou hast scattered Thine oyevim with Thy strong Zero'a.

¹²Shomayim are Thine, Eretz also is Thine;

as for the tevel (world) and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.

¹³The tzafon (north) and the yamin (south) Thou hast created them;

Tavor and Chermon shall sing for joy in Thy Shem.

¹⁴Thou hast a mighty Zero'a;

strong is Thy Yad, and exalted is Thy Yamin.

¹⁵Tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of Thy kisse;

chesed and emes shall go before Thy face.

¹⁶Ashrei is the people that know the joyful sound;

they shall walk, Hashem , in the ohr (light) of Thy countenance.

¹⁷In Thy Shem shall they rejoice kol hayom;

and in Thy tzedakah shall they be exalted.

¹⁸For Thou art the tiferet (splendor, glory) of their strength;

and in Thy favor our keren shall be exalted.

¹⁹For Hashem is our mogen;

and the Kadosh Yisroel is Malkeinu (our king) .

²⁰Then Thou spoke in chazon (vision) to Thy chasidim,

and saidst, I have laid ezer (help) upon one that is mighty;

I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²¹I have found Dovid Avdi;

with My shemen kadosh (holy oil) meshachtiv (I anointed him) ;

²²With whom My yad shall be established;

Mine zero'a also shall strengthen him.

²³The oyev (enemy) shall not ensnare him;

nor the ben avlah (son of wickedness) afflict him.

²⁴And I will beat down his tzar before his face,

and strike down them that hate him.

²⁵But My emunah (faithfulness) and My chesed shall be with him;

and in My Shem shall his keren be exalted.

²⁶I will set his yad also upon the yam,

and his yamin upon the neharot (rivers) .

²⁷He shall cry out unto Me, Thou art Avi, Eli,

and the Tzur of my Yeshu'ah (salvation) .

²⁸Also I will make him My Bechor,

elyon (most exalted) of the Malkhei Aretz.

²⁹My chesed will I be shomer over for him forevermore,

and My Brit shall stand unfailing with him.

³⁰His zera also will I make to endure forever,

and his kisse as the days of Shomayim.

³¹If his banim forsake My torah,

walk not in My mishpatim,

³²If they violate My chukkot,

and are not shomer over My mitzvot;

³³Then will I visit their peysha with shevet (rod) ,

and their avon (iniquity) with stripes.

³⁴Nevertheless My chesed will I not utterly take from him,

nor suffer My emunah (faithfulness) to fail.

³⁵My Brit will I not violate,

nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips.

³⁶Once have I sworn by My Kodesh;

I will not lie unto Dovid.

³⁷His zera shall endure l'olam,

and his kisse as the shemesh before Me.

³⁸It shall be established olam as the yarei'ach,

and as an ed ne'eman (a faithful witness) in the heavens.

Selah

³⁹But Thou hast cast off and abhorred,[#89:39 mem-alef-samech, see same word Ps 118:22]

Thou hast been in wrath with Thine Moshiach.

⁴⁰Thou hast made void the Brit of Thy eved;

Thou hast profaned his nezer (diadem) to the ground.

⁴¹Thou hast broken down all his gederot (hedges) ;

Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴²All that pass by the derech plunder him;

he is a cherpah (reproach) to his shchenim.

⁴³Thou hast exalted the yamin of his adversaries;

Thou hast made all his oyevim to rejoice.

⁴⁴Thou hast also turned back the edge of his cherev,

and hast not made him to stand in the milchamah.

⁴⁵Thou hast made his glory to cease,

and cast his kisse down to the ground.

⁴⁶The days of his youth hast thou shortened;

Thou hast covered him with bushah (shame) .

Selah

⁴⁷How long, Hashem ? Wilt Thou hide Thyself lanetzach (forever) ?

Shall Thy wrath burn like eish?

⁴⁸Remember how short my time is.

For what vanity hast Thou created kol bnei adam?

⁴⁹What gever is he that liveth, and shall not see mavet?

Shall he deliver his nefesh from the yad Sheol (power of Sheol) ?

Selah

⁵⁰Adonoi, where are Thy former lovingkindnesses,

which Thou didst swear unto Dovid in Thy emunah?

⁵¹Remember, Adonoi, the reproach of Thy avadim;

how I do bear in my kheyk (bosom) the reproach of all rabbim amim (many peoples) ;

⁵²Wherewith Thine oyevim have reproached, Hashem ;

wherewith they have reproached the ikkevot (footsteps) of Thine Moshiach.

⁵³Baruch Hashem l'olam.

Omein and Omein.
