Psalms 89:1-21 ▼

1 A Psalme to giue instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lorde for euer: with my mouth will I declare thy trueth from generation to generation.

2 For I said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shalt thou stablish in ye very heauens.

3 I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,

4 Thy seede will I stablish for euer, & set vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

5 O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.

6 For who is equall to the Lorde in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?

7 God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.

8 O Lorde God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?

9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10 Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.

11 The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.

12 Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.

13 Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.

14 Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.

15 Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.

16 They shall reioyce continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousnes shall they exalt them selues.

17 For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.

18 For our shield apperteineth to the Lorde, and our King to the holy one of Israel.

19 Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

20 I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.

21 Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.
