Psalms 89:22-40
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 89
22The enemy will not deceive him, Nor will the son of wickedness afflict him. 23But I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him. 24My faithfulness and My favor will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted. 25I will also place his hand on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. 26He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ 27I will also make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth. 28I will maintain My favor for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him. 29So I will establish his descendants forever, And his throne as the days of heaven. 30'If his sons abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments, 31If they violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments, 32Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the rod, And their guilt with afflictions. 33But I will not withhold My favor from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. 34I will not violate My covenant, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. 35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His descendants shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me. 37It shall be established forever like the moon, And a witness in the sky is faithful.' Selah 38But You have rejected and refused, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed. 39You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust. 40You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.King James Version

Chapter 89
22The enemy will not oppress him; the wicked will not afflict him. 23I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him. 24My faithfulness and love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted. 25I will extend his power to the sea and his right hand to the rivers. 26He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.’ 27I will also make him my firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth. 28I will always preserve my faithful love for him, and my covenant with him will endure. 29I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as heaven lasts. 30If his sons abandon my instruction and do not live by my ordinances, 31if they dishonor my statutes and do not keep my commands, 32then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their iniquity with blows. 33But I will not withdraw my faithful love from him or betray my faithfulness. 34I will not violate my covenant or change what my lips have said. 35Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me,
37like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky." Selah
38But you have spurned and rejected him; you have become enraged with your anointed.
39You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have completely dishonored his crown.
40You have broken down all his walls; you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.
New Living Translation
Chapter 89
22His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him. 23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him. 24My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power. 25I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers. 26And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ 27I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth. 28I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end. 29I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven. 30But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations, 31if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands, 32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating. 33But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him. 34No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said. 35I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie: 36His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.English Standard Version
Chapter 89
22The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. 23I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. 24My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. 26He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ 27And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. 28My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. 29I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens. 30 If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, 31if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, 32then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, 33but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness. 34I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. 35Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. 37Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies." Selah 38But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. 39You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. 40You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.New International Version
Chapter 89
22The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him. 23I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries. 24My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted. 25I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers. 26He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’ 27And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. 28I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.
29I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
30"If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
31if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
32I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
33but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
35Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—
36that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky."
38But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.
40You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.
