Today’s Scripture:

I will also make him my firstborn,greatest of the kings of the earth.28 I will always preserve my faithful love for him,and my covenant with him will endure.29 I will establish his line forever,his throne as long as heaven lasts.[a]30 If his sons abandon my instructionand do not live by my ordinances,31 if they dishonor my statutesand do not keep my commands,32 then I will call their rebellionto account with the rod,their iniquity with blows.33 But I will not withdrawmy faithful love from himor betray my faithfulness.34 I will not violate my covenantor change what my lips have said.35 Once and for allI have sworn an oath by my holiness;I will not lie to David.36 His offspring will continue forever,his throne like the sun before me,37 like the moon, established forever,a faithful witness in the sky.”Selah

38 But you have spurned and rejected him;you have become enraged with your anointed.39 You have repudiated the covenant with your servant;you have completely dishonored his crown.[b]40 You have broken down all his walls;you have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.41 All who pass by plunder him;he has become an object of ridiculeto his neighbors.42 You have lifted high the right hand of his foes;you have made all his enemies rejoice.43 You have also turned back his sharp swordand have not let him stand in battle.44 You have made his splendor[c] ceaseand have overturned his throne.45 You have shortened the days of his youth;you have covered him with shame.Selah

46 How long, Lord? Will you hide forever?Will your anger keep burning like fire?47 Remember how short my life is.Have you created everyone for nothing?48 What courageous person can live and never see death?Who can save himself from the power of Sheol?Selah49 Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful lovethat you swore to David in your faithfulness?50 Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants—in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples—51 how your enemies have ridiculed, Lord,how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed.

52 Blessed be the Lord forever.Amen and amen.
