Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever;^q

I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations

with my mouth.^r

²For I will declare,

“Faithful love is built up forever;

you establish your faithfulness in the heavens.”^s

³The Lord said,

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;

I have sworn an oath to David my servant:

⁴‘I will establish your offspring forever

and build up your throne for all generations.’ ”^t

Selah

⁵Lord, the heavens praise your wonders^u—

your faithfulness also—

in the assembly of the holy ones.^v

⁶For who in the skies can compare with the Lord?

Who among the heavenly beings^A is like the Lord?^w

⁷God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,

more awe-inspiring than^B all who surround him.^x

⁸Lord God of Armies,

who is strong like you, Lord?^y

Your faithfulness surrounds you.

⁹You rule the raging sea;

when its waves surge, you still them.^z

¹⁰You crushed Rahab like one who is slain;^aa

you scattered your enemies with your powerful arm.^ab

¹¹The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours.

The world and everything in it—you founded them.^ac

¹²North and south—you created them.^ad

Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at your name.^ae

¹³You have a mighty arm;

your hand is powerful;

your right hand is lifted high.^af

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation

of your throne;^ag

faithful love and truth go before you.^ah
