Psalms 89:1-18

I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the LORD forever; With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation. For I have said, “Goodness and lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens [unchangeable and majestic] You will establish Your faithfulness.” [God has said] “I have made a covenant with My chosen one; I have sworn to David My servant, I will establish your seed forever And I will build up your throne for all generations.” [Is 9:7; Jer 33:14-26; Luke 1:32, 33; Gal 3:16] Selah. ¶The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O LORD, Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD? Who among the divine beings is like the LORD, A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being]. You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them. [Ps 65:7; 107:29; Mark 4:39] You have crushed Rahab (Egypt) like one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. ¶The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them. [Gen 1:3] The north and the south, You have created them; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon shout for joy at Your name. You have a strong arm; Mighty is Your hand, Your right hand is exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You. Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]! They walk, O LORD, in the light and favor of Your countenance! In Your name they rejoice all the day, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], And by Your favor our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
