Psalms 89:1-13 ▼

1 A Maskil of Ethan (enduring) the Ezrahite (of the soil). 1 I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD {YHWH} forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.

2 For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”

3 You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David (beloved) My servant:

4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’” Selah

5 The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD {YHWH}—Your faithfulness as well—in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies can compare with the LORD {YHWH}? Who among the heavenly beings (the sons of God) is like the LORD?

7 In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.

8 O LORD God {YHWH Elohe} of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.

9 You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

10 You crushed Rahab (breadth) like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

12 North and south You created; Tabor (mound) and Hermon (a sanctuary) shout for joy at Your name.

13 Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.
