Psalm 89:1–14

¹An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

²For I said, ‘To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.’

³I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:

⁴‘Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.

⁵And the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones.

⁶For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?

⁷God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

⁸O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee—a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

⁹Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

¹⁰Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.

¹¹Thine are the heavens—the earth also is Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.

¹²North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.

¹³Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand—high Thy right hand.

¹⁴Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
