Psalms 88:15 - Psalms 89:6
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up; while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
Psalms 89
Intro: God praised for the establishment of his covenant. (Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.)
1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant.
4 Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord; thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
