Psalm 89:1-52            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will sing of the [Lord's] mercies forever. I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations, with my mouth. For I have said, You [shall] establish Your faithfulness in the very heavens, &  Mercy shall [endure] forever.

[Revelation 21:5-7 And He, [Who] sat upon the throne said, [See,] I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true & faithful. And He said to me, It is done.

I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will freely give to him, [who[ is [thirsty,] the Water [from] the Fountain of Life freely. He, [who overcomes] shall inherit all things & I will be his God, & he shall be My son, [a.k.a. child.]

I have made a covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with My chosen. I have sworn to David, My servant. [2 Samuel 7:25-26 And now, O Lord God, the Word that You [have] spoken concerning [me,] Your servant, & concerning his house, establish it forever, & do as You [have] said.

And let Your Name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of Hosts is the God over Israel; & let the house of Your servant, David, be established before You.]

Your seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] I will establish forever, & build up your throne to all generations. Selah. [Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring, [a.k.a. from the lineage,] of David, & the Bright & Morning Star.]

And the heavens shall praise Your wonders, [a.k.a. miracles,] O Lord; & also Your faithfulness [shall be praised] in the congregation of saints. For Who in heaven can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty, can be [considered] [similar] to the Lord? [Psalm 86:8-9 O Lord, among the gods, there [are] none [similar] to You. Neither are there any works, [a.k.a. miracles, similar] to Your [miracles.] All nations whom You [have] made, shall come & worship before You, O Lord; & shall glorify Your Name.]

God is to be greatly feared, [a.k.a. respected,] in the assembly of the saints, & to be [held] in reverence [by] all [those who] are [around] Him. O Lord God of Hosts, who is a strong Lord, [similar] to You? Or [who has] faithfulness [like] Yours [all around] You? You [rule] the raging sea: when [its] waves arise, & You still them. [Matthew 8:23-26 And when He [had] entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him.

And [look,] a great [storm] arose there in the sea, [in] that the ship was covered with waves: but He was asleep. And His disciples came to Him, & awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And He [said] to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then, He arose, & rebuked the winds & the sea, and there was a great calm.]

You [have] broken Rahab, [a.k.a. Egypt, into] pieces, [like someone who] is slain. You [have] scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm. [Isaiah 51:9-10 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord.

Awake, [like] in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Aren't] You, [Who has] cut Rahab, & wounded the dragon? [Aren't] You [Who has] dried [up] the sea, the waters of the great deep; & has made the depths of the sea a [road] for the ransomed to [cross] over?]

The heavens are Yours, & also the earth is Yours. As for the world ,& [its] fulness [of it,] You [have] founded them. [Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form, & void. And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the [Holy] Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters.]

You [have] created the North & the South. [Job 38:4-6 Where [were] you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you [have] understanding. If you [know,] Who [has] laid [its] measures? Or Who [has] stretched the [measuring] line upon it? Where upon [its foundation,] [is it] fastened? Or Who laid [its] cornerstone?]

[Mount] Tabor & [Mount] Herman shall rejoice in Your Name. You [have] a mighty arm, & Your hand is strong, & Your right hand is high, [a.k.a. magnified.] Mercy & truth shall go before Your face, & the [place of] justice & judgment are [where] Your throne [is.] [Hebrews 4:16 Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, [so] that we may [receive] mercy & find grace to help in [our] time of need.]

Blessed [are] the people [who] know the joyful sound. O Lord, they shall walk in the Light of Your countenance. [Psalm 44:3 For they [didn't get] the land [as a] possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but [by] Your right hand, & Your arm, & the Light of Your countenance, because You [had favored] them.]

They shall rejoice in Your Name all day; & in Your righteousness, they shall be exalted. For You [are] the glory of their strength; & our horn shall be exalted in Your favor. [1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, [so] that He may exalt you in due time; & [cast] all your [cares] upon Him; for He [cares] for you.]

For the Lord is our defense; & the Holy One of Israel is our King. Then, You [spoke] in a vision to Your Holy one, & [said,] Upon one [who] is mighty, I have [given the ability to] help. I have exalted one chosen out of the people. [1 Kings 11:32-34 (But he shall have one tribe for My servant, David's sake, & for Jerusalem's sake, the city [that] I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:} Because they have [abandoned] Me, & have [worshiped:] Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians;] Chemosh, the god of the Moabites; & Milcom, the god of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon, & haven't walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in [My] ways, to do [what] is right in [My] eyes, & to keep My [mandates,] & My judgments, [like] David, his father did.]

I have found David, My servant, & with My Holy oil, I have anointed him, with whom My hand shall be established, & [My] arm shall also strengthen him. The enemy shall not [deceive] him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

[Ephesians 6:12-13 For we [don't] wrestle against flesh & blood, but: against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [For this reason,] take [for yourselves] the whole armor of God, [so] that you may be able to withstand [on] the evil day, having done all, to [withstand] [it.]

And I will beat down his [enemies in front of] his face, & plague [those who] hate him. But My faithfulness, & My mercy shall be with him; & his horn shall be exalted in My Name. [Revelation 3:7-8 And to the Angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things [says] He [Who] is Holy; He [Who] is True & He Who [has] the key of David.

He [Who opens,] & no man [shuts,] & [shuts] & no man [opens.] I know your works, [a.k.a. deeds.] [Look,] I have [put] before you an open door, & no man can shut it. For you [have a] little strength, & [have] kept My Word, & [haven't] denied My Name.]

I will also [put] His hand in the sea, & His right hand in the rivers. [Psalm 72:7-8 In His days, the righteous shall flourish, & [an] abundance of peace, so long as the moon [endures.] He shall also have dominion from sea to sea, & from the river unto the ends of the earth.]

He shall cry [out] to Me, You [are] My Father, My God, & the Rock of My Salvation. *Also I will make Him, My Firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever believes] in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through Him. He [who believes in] Him isn't condemned: but he [who doesn't believe] is already condemned, because he hasn't believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.]

I will keep My mercy for him [forever,] & My covenant shall stand [firmly] with him. Also, his seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] I will make to endure forever, & his throne [like] the days of heaven.

[Isaiah 9:7 There shall be no end of the increase of His government & peace, upon the throne of David & upon His kingdom, to order, [a.k.a. command,] it, & to establish it with judgment, & with justice from [this day on,] even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will [accomplish] this.]

If his children [abandon] My Law, & [don't] walk, [a.k.a. follow,] My judgments; if they break My [mandates,] & [don't] keep My commandments; then I will visit, [a.k.a. punish,] their [sins] with the rod, & stripes [for] their iniquity. [Still,] I won't [totally] take away from him, My loving kindness, nor [allow] My faithfulness to fail. [2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, [Who] shall [establish] you, & keep you from evil.]

I will not break My covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] nor alter [what] [has come] out of My lips. [Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the Son of Man, that He should [feel sorry.] [What] He [has] said, [won't] He do it? Or [what] He [has] spoken, [won't] He make it good?]

Once I have sworn by My Holiness, that I won’t lie to David. His seed shall endure forever, & his throne [like] the sun before Me. [*Luke 1:31-33 And, Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, & [deliver] a Son, & [shall] call His Name JESUS.

He shall be great, & shall be called the Son of the Highest; & the Lord God shall give to Him the throne of His [forefather,] David. *And He shall [rule] over the house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] forever, & there shall be no end of His kingdom.]

It shall be established forever [like] the moon, & [like] a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. But You [have] cast off, & [loathed,] & You have been [angry] with Your anointed. You [have] made the covenant of Your servant void. You [have] profaned his crown by [throwing] it to the ground.

[Revelation 13:1-6 And I stood upon the sand of the [seashore,] & saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads & 10 horns. And 10 crowns upon his horns, & the name of blasphemy upon his heads. And the beast [that] I saw was [similar] to a leopard, & his feet were [like] the feet of a bear, & his mouth [like] the mouth of a lion.

And the dragon gave him his power, & his seat, [a.k.a. throne,] & great authority. And I saw one of his heads as [if] it were wounded to death. And his deadly wound was healed; & all the world wondered after the beast. And they [worshiped] the dragon that gave power to the beast. And they [worshiped] the beast, saying, Who is [similar] to the beast?

Who is able to make war with him? And there was given to him a mouth speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] things, & blasphemies. And power was given to him to continue 42 months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name, & His tabernacle, & [those who] dwell in heaven.]

You [have] broken down all his hedges; & You [have] brought his strongholds to ruin. [Mark 1:23-27 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit ;& he cried out, saying, Let us alone. What do we have to do with You, You, Jesus of Nazareth?

[Have] You come to destroy us? I know You, Who You [are,] the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, & come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, & cried [out] with a loud voice, he came out of him.

And they were all amazed, [in] that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this thing? What new doctrine is this? For He even [commands] the unclean spirits with authority, & they obey Him.]

All [who] pass by the [road plunder] Him. He is a [disgrace] to His neighbors. [Isaiah 53:3-5 *He is despised & rejected [by] men. A Man of sorrows, & acquainted with grief. And we hid [like] it were, our faces from Him. He was despised, & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.]

Surely, He [has] borne our griefs, & carried our sorrows, [still,] we [didn't respect] Him, [suffering, struck,] & afflicted [by] God. *But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The [discipline for] our peace was upon Him, & we are healed with His stripes, [a.k.a. whip marks.]

You [have] made all His enemies rejoice. You [have] set up the right hand of His adversaries. [*Mark 15:9-15 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will you [want] that I release to you the King of the Jews? For [Pilate] knew that the chief priests had delivered [Jesus, because of] envy. But the chief priests moved, [a.k.a. persuaded,] the people, that [Pilate] should [instead,] release Barabbas to them. And Pilate answered & said again to them, What will you [want] then, that I shall do to Him, Whom you call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify Him. Then, Pilate said to them, Why, what evil [has] He done? And they cried out [even] exceedingly more, Crucify Him. And so, Pilate, willing to [satisfy] the people, released Barabbas to them, & delivered Jesus, [after Pilate] had Him scourged, to be crucified.]

You [have] also turned the edge of His sword, & [have] not made Him [able] to stand in the battle. [John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus, & saw that He was already dead, they [didn't break] His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear, pierced His side, & [immediately] blood & water came out  there.

And he [who] saw it, bare record, & his record is true, & he [knows] that [what] he [said] [is] true, [so] you might believe. * For these things were done, [so] that the Scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.]

You [have] made His glory to cease, & cast His throne down to the ground. [Matthew *27:57-60 When the [evening had] come, a rich man [from] Arimathaea came there, named Joseph, who also, himself, was Jesus' disciple. He went to Pilate, & begged [for] the body of Jesus. Then, Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, & laid it in his own new tomb, which he had [cut] out in the rock. And he rolled a [large] stone, [a.k.a. boulder,] to the door of the [tomb,] & departed.]

You [have] shortened the days of His youth, & you have covered Him with shame. Selah. [Deuteronomy 21:22-23 And if a man [has] committed a sin worthy of death, & he [is] to be put to death ,& you hang him on a tree, His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but [regardless,] you [shall] bury him that day; (for he [who] is hanged is [cursed by] God;) [so] that your land, which the Lord your God [gives] you for an inheritance, [isn't] defiled.]

[Will] You hide Yourself forever? How long, Lord? Shall Your [anger] burn like fire? [Isaiah 54:7-8 For a [little] moment, I have [abandoned] you. But I will gather you with great mercies. I hid My face from you for a moment, in a little [anger,] but I will have mercy on you, with everlasting kindness, [says] the Lord your Redeemer.]

Remember how short My time is. [Have] You made all men in vain, [for this reason?] [Psalm 90:10-13 The years & days [we live,] are 70 years, & if [because] of strength, they [are] 80 years, [still in] their strength, [they] labor [in] sorrow. For it is soon cut off, & we fly away. Who [knows] the power of Your anger? According to Your fear, [a.k.a. respect,] even so is Your [anger.]

What man is he [who lives,] & shall not see death? Shall he deliver his [own] soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are Your [previous] loving kindnesses, [that] You swore to David in Your truth?

[2 Samuel 7:25-26 And now, O Lord God, establish the Word that You [have] spoken [related to] [me,] Your servant, & [about] his house, forever, & do as You [have] said. And let Your Name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of Hosts Is the God over Israel. And let the house of Your servant, David, be established before You.]

Lord, remember the [disgrace] of Your servants. How I do bear in My [heart,] the [disgrace] of all the mighty people. [Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking to Jesus, the Author & Finisher of our faith, Who for the [eternal] joy that was [put] before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, & is [now] [sitting] down at the right hand [side] of the throne of God. For consider Him, [Who] endured such contradiction [for] sinners against Himself, lest you be wearied, & your minds faint, [a.k.a. give up.]

[For this reason,] Your enemies have [ridiculed,] O Lord, [with which] they [disgraced] the footsteps of Your anointed. [Mark 15:31-32 *Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others. He can’t save Himself. Let Christ, the King of Israel now descend from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [insulted] Him.]

Blessed be the Lord forevermore. Amen and Amen.
