Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever!

Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.

²Your unfailing love will last forever.

Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

³The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant.

I have sworn this oath to him:

⁴‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever;

they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’ ”

Interlude

⁵All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord;

myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.

⁶For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord?

What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord?

⁷The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God.

He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.

⁸O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies!

Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord?

You are entirely faithful.

⁹You rule the oceans.

You subdue their storm-tossed waves.

¹⁰You crushed the great sea monster.

You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

¹¹The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;

everything in the world is yours—you created it all.

¹²You created north and south.

Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name.

¹³Powerful is your arm!

Strong is your hand!

Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.

Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.
