Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord,^v forever;

with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.^*

²I declare that your steadfast love is established forever;

your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.^*

³You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one;

I have sworn to my servant David:^*

⁴‘I will establish your descendants forever

and build your throne for all generations.’ ”   Selah^*

⁵Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord,

your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.^*

⁶For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?

Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,^*

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

great and awesome^w above all who are around him?^*

⁸O Lord God of hosts,

who is as mighty as you, O Lord?

Your faithfulness surrounds you.^*

⁹You rule the raging of the sea;

when its waves rise, you still them.^*

¹⁰You crushed Rahab like a carcass;

you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.^*

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

the world and all that is in it—you founded them.^*

¹²The north and the south^x—you created them;

Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.^*

¹³You have a mighty arm;

strong is your hand, high your right hand.^*

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;

steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.^*
