RF PSA 89:1 A Reflection of Aithan the Azrakhite.
STANZA 1.
AITHAN.
I will sing the LORD'S Mercies for ever,
Teach to ages His truth by my mouth.
RF PSA 89:2 Will say, "Your Mercy for ever is built,
Your Truth You have fixed in the skies!"
RF PSA 89:3 STANZA 2.
THE LORD.
"With My chosen a Treaty I made,
I have sworn it to David My Slave,
RF PSA 89:4 Your heir I will settle for ever,
And for ages will build up your throne."
RF PSA 89:5 STANZA 3.
LORD! Your wonders the Heavens declare,
Your Truth to th' Assembly of Saints.
RF PSA 89:6 Who is like to the LORD in the Skies?
Who of GOD'S sons can equal the LORD?—
RF PSA 89:7 GOD is grand in the Council of Saints,
Great, and fearful, above all around.
RF PSA 89:8 LORD GOD of Hosts who is equal to You?—
Your Strength, LIFE, and Truth are around.
RF PSA 89:9 You ruled over the pride of the Sea,
Controlling the roar of its waves,
RF PSA 89:10 When Rahab1 You trod down to death,
And Your foes with a strong arm dispersed.
RF PSA 89:11 STANZA 4.
But Yours are the Heavens and Earth,
You formed the World's sphere and its times.
RF PSA 89:12 You created the North and the South;—
Tabor and Hermon, applaud to Your Name!
RF PSA 89:13 The hand of the Mighty is Yours,
Your hand is strong, and Your right hand is high.
—————
1. Note.—Psalms 89.11. "Rahab" was a poetic name for Egypt, probably a title of Pharoh.—F.F.
RF PSA 89:14 STANZA 5.
Your Throne stands on Goodness and Right,
Before You, march Mercy and Truth!
RF PSA 89:15 Blest the People who know of their hope,
Who march in Your Splendour,
RF PSA 89:16 O Lord! In Your Name they can laugh all the day;
And can in Your Goodness exult;
RF PSA 89:17 For You are their Glory and Strength,
And your favour lights upon them.
RF PSA 89:18 For our shield is with the LORD,
And with Israel's Holy our King.
RF PSA 89:19 STANZA 6.
In a vision You spoke to Your Saint,
And said "I put strength in a man,
From the People My chosen I raised,
RF PSA 89:20 Yes, David I formed as My Servant,
I appointed by My Sacred Oil;
RF PSA 89:21 My hand shall be firmly with Him,
Yes! he shall be strong by My arm.
RF PSA 89:22 His foe shall not rise over him,
Nor the Son of the Wicked distress.
RF PSA 89:23 His assailants I cut from his face,
And all who hate him will defeat.
RF PSA 89:24 With him are My Mercy and Truth,
And I lift up his horn by My Power.
RF PSA 89:25 So I placed his left hand on the Sea,
And his right to the Rivers afar!
RF PSA 89:26 He shall say to me, 'You are my father;
My GOD, and my Tower of retreat!'
RF PSA 89:27 Yes! I will make him Imperial,
The First of the Kings of the Earth!
RF PSA 89:28 I will guard him for ever by Mercy,
And secure My Treaty to him.
RF PSA 89:29 And his Heir shall endure forever,
And his throne like the Periods of Heaven.
RF PSA 89:30 STANZA 7.
"If his sons should abandon My Laws,
And by My Decrees cease to walk;
RF PSA 89:31 If they profane My Institutions,
And will not preserve My Commands;
RF PSA 89:32 I will punish their sins with a rod,
And their faults with a lash;—
RF PSA 89:33 But My mercy not take from his People,
Nor will I be false to My Truth.
RF PSA 89:34 My Treaty will never be broken,
Nor change from the words of My lips;
RF PSA 89:35 For I by My holiness swore,
I will never forget about David!
RF PSA 89:36 His heir shall endure for ever,
And near Me his throne, like the Sun.
RF PSA 89:37 Like the Moon, be established for ever,
Rejoicing in truth upon high."
RF PSA 89:38 STANZA 8.
But now You forsake and regret!
Against Your anointed You rage;
RF PSA 89:39 You break from Your bond with Your servant,
You throw his crown down to the ground!
RF PSA 89:40 And through all his fences You break,—
You have thrown down the walls of his vine.
RF PSA 89:41 All who travel the Highway can rob,
And he is to his neighbors a scorn;
RF PSA 89:42 His oppressors raise up their right hand,
And all of his foemen rejoice!
RF PSA 89:43 You have turned back the edge of his sword,
And he cannot prevail in the War.
RF PSA 89:44 His splendour You bring to an end,
And have thrown down his throne to the Earth!
RF PSA 89:45 You have cut off the days of his manhood,
And covered him up with contempt!
RF PSA 89:46 STANZA 9.
Till when will You hide, LORD, for ever?
Like fire, will Your anger consume?
RF PSA 89:47 Remember how short is my life,
Why create in vain all Adam's Sons?
RF PSA 89:48 What man lives, and never sees Death?
Can his body escape the Grave's hand
RF PSA 89:49 STANZA 10.
Lord where are Your Mercies of old,
That to David You swore by Your Truth?
RF PSA 89:50 LORD, remember the griefs of Your slave, With such great Peoples loading my breast!
RF PSA 89:51 How Your foemen insult You, O Lord,
When the steps of Your Chosen they curse.
RF PSA 89:52 (NOTE BY AN ANCIENT EDITOR.)
Bless the EVER-LIVING for ever, Amen, and Amen.
