Psalms 89:1-13 ▼

1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. Of the kind acts of YHWH, I sing for all time, || From generation to generation I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth,

2 For I said, “Kindness is built for all time, || The heavens! You establish Your faithfulness in them.”

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

4 “Even for all time I establish your seed, || And have built your throne to generation and generation.” Selah.

5 And the heavens confess Your wonders, O YHWH, || Your faithfulness [is] also in an assembly of holy ones.

6 For who in the sky, compares himself to YHWH? [Who] is like to YHWH among sons of the mighty?

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

8 O YHWH, God of Hosts, || Who [is] like You—a strong YAH? And Your faithfulness [is] around You.

9 You [are] ruler over the pride of the sea, || In the lifting up of its billows You restrain them.

10 You have bruised Rahab, as one wounded. You have scattered Your enemies with the arm of Your strength.

11 The heavens [are] Yours, || The earth [is] also Yours, || The habitable world and its fullness, || You have founded them.

12 North and south You have appointed them, || Tabor and Hermon sing in Your Name.

13 You have an arm with might, || Strong is Your hand—high Your right hand.
