Psalm 89:1–14

¹I will sing of thy steadfast love, O Lord,^v for ever;

with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations.

²For thy steadfast love was established for ever,

thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens.

³Thou hast said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,

I have sworn to David my servant:

⁴‘I will establish your descendants for ever,

and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah

⁵Let the heavens praise thy wonders, O Lord,

thy faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!

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

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

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

great and terrible^x above all that are round about him?

⁸O Lord God of hosts,

who is mighty as thou art, O Lord,

with thy faithfulness round about thee?

⁹Thou dost rule the raging of the sea;

when its waves rise, thou stillest them.

¹⁰Thou didst crush Rahab like a carcass,

thou didst scatter thy enemies with thy mighty arm.

¹¹The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine;

the world and all that is in it, thou hast founded them.

¹²The north and the south, thou hast created them;

Tabor and Hermon joyously praise thy name.

¹³Thou hast a mighty arm;

strong is thy hand, high thy right hand.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne;

steadfast love and faithfulness go before thee.
