Psalm 89:35-45
New King James Version
35 Once I have sworn (A)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
36 (B)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne (C)as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
38 But You have (D)cast off and (E)abhorred,[a]
You have been furious with Your [b]anointed.
39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;
(F)You have [c]profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his [d]strongholds to ruin.
41 All who pass by the way (G)plunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.
44 You have made his [e]glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth You have shortened;
You have covered him with shame. Selah
