Psalm 89:34 Context

◄ Psalm 89:34 ►

I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.

Context

34“My covenant I will not violate,
Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

35“Once I have sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.

36“His descendants shall endure forever
And his throne as the sun before Me.

37“It shall be established forever like the moon,
And the witness in the sky is faithful.”

Selah.

38But You have cast off and rejected,
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

39You have spurned 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.

41All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have not made him stand in battle.

44You have made his splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.

45You have shortened the days of his youth;
You have covered him with shame.

Selah.

46How long, O LORD?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire?

47Remember what my span of life is;
For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

48What man can live and not see death?
Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?

Selah.

49Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

50Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants;
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,

51With which Your enemies have reproached, O LORD,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.

52Blessed be the LORD forever!
Amen and Amen.
