Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing forever of Yahweh’s acts of loyal love.

From generation to generation^b

I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth.

²For I say, “Forever your loyal love is built up.

The heavens you have established with your faithfulness in them.”

³“I made a covenant with my chosen one;

I swore an oath to David my servant:

⁴‘I will establish your descendants forever,

and I will build up your throne from generation to generation.’ ”^c Selah

⁵And so the heavens will praise your wonderful deed, O Yahweh,

even your faithfulness, in the assembly of the holy ones.

⁶For who in the sky^d is equal to Yahweh?

Who is like Yahweh among the sons of God,

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

and awesome above all surrounding him?

⁸O Yahweh God of hosts,

who is mighty like you, O Yah,

with^e your faithfulness surrounding you?

⁹You are ruling the surging of the sea.

When its waves rise, you yourself still^f them.

¹⁰You yourself crushed^g Rahab like one who is slain;

you scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

¹¹The heavens are yours, the earth yours as well,

the world with its fullness, because you founded them.

¹²North and south, you created them;

Tabor and Hermon shout joyfully over your name.

¹³You have a mighty arm;

Your hand is strong; your right hand reaches high.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.

Loyal love and faithfulness^h come before your face.ⁱ
