Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever:

With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

²For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever;

Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

³I have made a covenant with my chosen,

I have sworn unto David my servant:

⁴Thy seed will I establish for ever,

And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah

⁵And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah;

Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

⁶For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah?

Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

⁷A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones,

And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

⁸O Jehovah God of hosts,

Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah?

And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

⁹Thou rulest the pride of the sea:

When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

¹⁰Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;

Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

¹¹The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:

The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

¹²The north and the south, thou hast created them:

Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.

¹³Thou hast a mighty arm;

Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne:

Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
