Psalmorum 89
1 intellectus Aethan Ezraitae misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo in generationem et generationem adnuntiabo veritatem tuam in ore meo
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; to all generations will I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth.

For I have said: 'For ever is mercy built; in the very heavens Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness.
3 disposui testamentum electis meis iuravi David servo meo
I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:
4 usque in aeternum praeparabo semen tuum et aedificabo in generationem et generationem sedem tuam diapsalma
For ever will I establish thy seed, and build up thy throne to all generations.' (Selah)
5 confitebuntur caeli mirabilia tua Domine etenim veritatem tuam in ecclesia sanctorum
So shall the heavens praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 quoniam quis in nubibus aequabitur Domino similis erit Domino in filiis Dei

49 ubi sunt misericordiae tuae antiquae Domine sicut iurasti David in veritate tua
Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness?
50 memor esto Domine obprobrii servorum tuorum quod continui in sinu meo multarum gentium

51 quod exprobraverunt inimici tui Domine quod exprobraverunt commutationem christi tui
Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed.
52 benedictus Dominus in aeternum fiat fiat
