Psalms 89:1-13 ▼

1 Of understanding, for Ethan the Ezrahite. The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.

2 For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

3 I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:

4 Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.

5 The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy truth in the church of the saints.

6 For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?

7 God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: great and terrible above all them that are about him.

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.

9 Thou rulest the power of the sea: and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.

10 Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.

11 Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded:

12 the north and the sea thou hast created. Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name:

13 thy arm is with might. Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted:
