Psalms 89:1-13 ▼

1 A Psalm of instruction for Aetham the Israelite. I will sing of thy mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare thy truth with my mouth to all generations.

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

3 I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware unto David my servant.

4 I will establish thy seed for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Pause.

5 The heavens shall declare thy wonders, O Lord; and thy truth in the assembly of the saints.

6 For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?

7 God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round 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 thou calmest the tumult of its waves.

10 Thou has brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of thy power thou has scattered thine enemies.

11 The heavens are thine, and the earth is thine: thou hast founded the world, and the fullness of it.

12 Thou hast created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

13 Thine is the mighty arm: let thy hand be strengthened, let thy right hand be exalted.
