Psalm 89:1-18

[1]   I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever;  
          with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.

[2]   I declare that your steadfast love is established forever;  
          your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

[3]   You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one,  
          I have sworn to my servant David:  
[4]   'I will establish your descendants forever,  
          and build your throne for all generations.'"                  
Selah

[5]   Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD,  
          your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.  
[6]   For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD?  
          Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD,  
[7]   a God feared in the council of the holy ones,  
          great and awesome above all that are around him?  
[8]   O LORD God of hosts,  
          who is as mighty as you, O LORD?  
          Your faithfulness surrounds you.  
[9]   You rule the raging of the sea;  
          when its waves rise, you still them.  
[10]  You crushed Rahab like a carcass;  
          you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.  
[11]  The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours;  
          the world and all that is in it -- you have founded them.  
[12]  The north and the south -- you created them;  
          Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.  
[13]  You have a mighty arm;  
          strong is your hand, high your right hand.  
[14]  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;  
          steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.  
[15]  Happy are the people who know the festal shout,  
          who walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance;  
[16]  they exult in your name all day long,  
          and extol your righteousness.  
[17]  For you are the glory of their strength;  
          by your favor our horn is exalted.  
[18]  For our shield belongs to the LORD,  
          our king to the Holy One of Israel.
