Psalms 89:1-18

I will always sing about the LORD’s love; I will tell of his loyalty from now on. I will say, “Your love continues forever; your loyalty goes on and on like the sky.” You said, “I made an agreement with the man of my choice; I made a promise to my servant David. I told him, ‘I will make your family continue forever. Your kingdom will go on and on.’ ”Selah LORD, the heavens praise you for your miracles and for your loyalty in the meeting of your holy ones. Who in heaven is equal to the LORD? None of the angels is like the LORD. When the holy ones meet, it is God they fear. He is more frightening than all who surround him. LORD God All-Powerful, who is like you? LORD, you are powerful and completely trustworthy. You rule the mighty sea and calm the stormy waves. You crushed the sea monster Rahab; by your power you scattered your enemies. The skies and the earth belong to you. You made the world and everything in it. You created the north and the south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing for joy at your name. Your arm has great power. Your hand is strong; your right hand is lifted up. Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair. Love and truth are in all you do. Happy are the people who know how to praise you. LORD, let them live in the light of your presence. In your name they rejoice and continually praise your goodness. You are their glorious strength, and in your kindness you honor our king. Our king, our shield, belongs to the LORD, to the Holy One of Israel.
