89:34 I will not <03808> break <02490> my covenant <01285> or <03808> go back <08138> on what I promised <08193> <04161>. 89:35 Once <0259> and for all I have vowed <07650> by my own holiness <06944>, I will never <0518> deceive <03576> David <01732>. 89:36 His dynasty <02233> will last <01961> forever <05769>. His throne <03678> will endure before <05048> me, like the sun <08121>, 89:37 it will remain <03559> stable <05769>, like the moon <03394>, his throne <05707> will endure <0539> like the skies <07834>.” (Selah <05542>) 89:38 But you <0859> have spurned <02186> and rejected <03988> him; you are angry <05674> with <05973> your chosen king <04899>. 89:39 You have repudiated <05010> your covenant <01285> with your servant <05650>; you have thrown <02490> his crown <05145> to the ground <0776>. 89:40 You have broken down <06555> all <03605> his walls <01448>; you have made <07760> his strongholds <04013> a heap of ruins <04288>. 89:41 All <03605> who pass by <05674> have robbed <08155> him; he has become <01961> an object of disdain <02781> to his neighbors <07934>. 89:42 You have allowed <07311> his adversaries <06862> to be victorious <03225>, and all <03605> his enemies <0341> to rejoice <08055>. 89:43 You turn back <07725> his sword <02719> from the adversary <06697>, and have not <03808> sustained <06965> him in battle <04421>. 89:44 You have brought to an end <07673> his splendor <02892>, and have knocked <04048> his throne <03678> to the ground <0776>. 89:45 You have cut short <07114> his youth <05934>, and have covered <05844> him with shame <0955>. (Selah <05542>) 89:46 How <04100> long <05704>, O Lord <03068>, will this last? Will you remain hidden <05641> forever <05331>? Will your anger <02534> continue to burn <01197> like <03644> fire <0784>? 89:47 Take note <02142> of my <0589> brief lifespan <02465>! Why <04100> do you make <01254> all <03605> people <0120> <01121> so mortal <07723>? 89:48 No man <01397> can live <02421> on without <03808> experiencing <07200> death <04194>, or deliver <04422> his life <05315> from the power <03027> of Sheol <07585>. (Selah <05542>) 89:49 Where <0346> are your earlier <07223> faithful deeds <02617>, O Lord <0136>, the ones performed <07650> in accordance with your reliable oath <0530> to David <01732>? 89:50 Take note <02142>, O Lord <0136>, of the way your servants <05650> are taunted, and of how I must bear <05375> so many <07227> insults <02781> from people <05971>! 89:51 Your enemies <0341>, O Lord <03068>, hurl insults <02778>; they insult <02778> your chosen king <04899> as they dog his footsteps <06119>. 89:52 The Lord <03068> deserves praise <01288> forevermore <05769>! We agree <0543>! We agree <0543>!

• Siang, Malam, Musim, Tahun [KJ.331]

  1. Siang, malam, musim, tahun gilir ganti melenyap; bayang- bayangnya berlalu, tiada satu yang tetap. Hidup kita menjalani jangka waktu dunia; tak terulang yang terjadi, tinggal tanggung jawabnya.
  2. Orang hidup ditinggalkan oleh pendahulunya, kita pun menuju makam yang fana. Dari bumi kita lahir dan kembali padaNya; tanpa rahmat yang ilahi, apakah manusia?	Pkh 1:4 Mzm 89:48-49 Kej 3:19 Mzm 103:14 Mzm 144:3-4

  4. Walau zaman menghanyutkan tiap hal di dunia, pengasihanMu, ya Tuhan, untuk s'lama-lamanya! Di segala perubahan, dalam duka apapun, dalam Kristus aku aman: kau menjadi Bapaku!	Mzm 90:5-10 Mzm 103:15-18 Yes 40:6-8
  5. Bapa, Sumber pengasihan, Bapa dalam t'rang dan g'lap. Bapa dalam kematian, pun di kubur yang senyap, setiaMu tak berubah, kasihMu tetap teguh: Bapa, kepadaMu jua kuserahkan diriku.
  6. Siang, malam, musim, tahun, biar kamu melenyap; dalam suka dan dukaku rahmat Allahku tetap! TanganNya menuntun daku lewat zaman dunia dan akhirnya 'ku selalu tinggal dalam rumahNya.	Mzm 31:16 Mzm 23:6

• [Psa 89:52] O Blessèd Be The Lord

  O blessèd be the Lord For His eternal Word, That sheds around the paths we tread Its calm and steady rays: Come, worship at His throne; O make His wonders known, And let His temple gates be filled With songs of praise. O blessèd be the Lord, In Heav’n and earth adored; The God of truth and righteousness, Our hope beyond the grave; Let anthems to the skies In joyful concert rise; O praise the Lord, whose mighty arm Is strong to save. O blessèd be our King, Whose Name the angels sing, While all the ransomed host above Their crowns before Him cast; O blessèd be our King, Who soon His own shall bring; Forever there, to rest from care, With Him at last.
