Psalm 89 consists of 52 verses, verses 46-52 are given below:
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blesssed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.-Psalm 89:46-52***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Adam lived for 930 years. Methuselah, the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve, lived for 969 years. Methuselah's grandson Noah the ark builder lived for 950 years. Noah's son Shem lived for 600 years, and Shem's son Arphaxad lived for 438 years. Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah lived for 205 years. Terah died and was buried in Haran in northern Mesopotamia. Terah's son Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) lived for 175 years and Terah's daughter Sarah (Sarai) lived for 127 years. Abraham and Sarah's son Isaac, their only child, lived for 180 years. Jacob (Israel), the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and his wife Rebekah, lived for 147 years. Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, the Promised Land, in the same cave wherein the bodies of Sarah, Abraham, Rebekah, Isaac, and Jacob's 1st wife Leah were buried. Levi was the 3rd son born to Jacob and Leah, and Judah was Jacob and Leah's 4th born son. Over 800 years after Levi and Judah were born, David was born into the tribe of Judah. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed David to reign as king in the Promised Land, according to the commands of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. When David was 70 years old, he died and his body was buried in the City of David. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon reigned for 40 years, died, and was buried in the City of David. However, the precise number of years that Solomon lived is not definitively revealed in the Holy Bible. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Rehoboam reigned for 17 years, died when he was 58 years old, and his body was buried in the City of David. Joash (Jehoash) was Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-grandson. Jehoiada was a priest from the tribe of Levi. Jehoiada's wife Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath) kept 1-year-old Joash alive when Joash's siblings were being killed by their grandmother Athaliah. Moreover, Jehoiada and Jehosheba kept Joash hidden within the priest's quarters in the temple of the Lord until Joash was 7 years old. After Jehoiada, his sons and those with them presented Joash as the rightful ruler, Joash was crowned and anointed and became the 7th king to rule Judah. Athaliah was killed. Jehoiada taught Joash to obey the commands of the Lord God. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, his body was buried near the bodies of the kings in the City of David. Shortly thereafter, Joash became an idolater. Joash was killed when he was 47 years old, after reigning for 40 years, and his body was buried in the City of David. Over 700 years after Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, became the 8th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:127:23, Deuteronomy 31:34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
