Psalms 89:1-21 ▼

1 I Will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth.

2 For I have said, “Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens Thou wilt establish Thy faithfulness.”

3 “I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant,

4 I will establish your seed forever, And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah.

5 And the heavens will praise Thy wonders, O LORD; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD,

7 A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?

8 O LORD God of hosts, who is like Thee, O mighty LORD? Thy faithfulness also surrounds Thee.

9 Thou dost rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, Thou dost still them.

10 Thou Thyself didst crush Rahab like one who is slain; Thou didst scatter Thine enemies with Thy mighty arm.

11 The heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine; The world and all it contains, Thou hast founded them.

12 The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Thy name.

13 Thou hast a strong arm; Thy hand is mighty, Thy right hand is exalted.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before Thee.

15 How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O LORD, they walk in the light of Thy countenance.

16 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And by Thy righteousness they are exalted.

17 For Thou art the glory of their strength, And by Thy favor our horn is exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once Thou didst speak in vision to Thy godly ones, And didst say, “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20 “I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.
