WORDS OF LIFE
Psalm 89
No enemy will deceive him; no wicked person will afflict him.
23 I will crush his enemies before him and strike those who hate him.
24 My faithfulness and gracious love will be with him, and in my name his power will be exalted.
25 I will place his hand over the sea, and his right hand[p] over the rivers.
26 He will announce to me ‘You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
27 “Indeed, I myself made him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will show my gracious love toward him forever, since my covenant is securely established with him.
29 I will establish his dynasty forever, and his throne as long as heaven endures.
30 “But if his sons abandon my laws and do not follow my ordinances,
31 if they profane my statutes; and do not keep my commands,
32 then I will punish their disobedience with a rod and their iniquity with lashes.
33 But I will not cut off my gracious love from him, and I will not stop being faithful.
34 I will not dishonor my covenant, because I will not change what I have spoken.
35 I have sworn by my holiness once for all: I will not lie to David.
36 His dynasty will last forever and his throne will be like the sun before me.
37 It will be established forever like the moon, a faithful witness in the sky.”
— Psalm 89: 22-37
