Psalms 89:1-13 ▼

1 Of instruction to Ethan the Ezrahite. The mercies of Jehovah forever will I sing: to generation and generation will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.

2 For I said, Mercy shall be built up forever: the heavens, thy faithfulness shall be prepared in them.

3 I cut out a covenant to my chosen, I sware to David my servant,

4 Even to forever I will prepare thy seed, and I built up to generation and generation thy throne, Silence.

5 And the heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Jehovah, also thy faithfulness in the convocation of the holy ones.

6 For who in the cloud shall be compared to Jehovah? shall he be likened to Jehovah among the sons of God?

7 God being greatly terrible in the council of the holy ones and to be feared by all round about him.

8 O Jehovah, God of armies, who as thee, Jah, strong? and thy faithfulness round about thee?

9 Thou ruling over the lifting up of the sea: in the lifting up of its waves thou wilt soothe them.

10 Thou didst break Rahab in pieces as the wounded one; with the arm of thy strength thou didst scatter thine enemies.

11 To thee the heavens, also to thee the earth; the habitable globe and its fulness thou didst found them.

12 The north and the south thou didst create them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

13 To thee an arm with strength: thou wilt strengthen thy hand, and thou wilt lift up thy right hand.
