Psalm 89:1–14

I will sing of the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation. For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness. I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant: Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

⁵And the heavens shall celebrate thy wonders, O Jehovah, and thy faithfulness in the congregation of the saints. ⁶For who in the heaven can be compared to Jehovah? who among the sons of the mighty shall be likened to Jehovah? ⁷•God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him. ⁸Jehovah, God of hosts, who is like unto thee, the strong Jah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee. ⁹Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them. ¹⁰Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength. ¹¹Thine are the heavens, the earth also is thine; the world and its fulness, thou hast founded them. ¹²The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon triumph in thy name. ¹³Thine is the arm of might: strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand. ¹⁴Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne; loving-kindness and truth go before thy face.
