Psalms 89:1-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 89
1I will sing of the graciousness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth. 2For I have said, 'Graciousness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.' 3'I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David, 4I will establish your descendants forever And build up your throne to all generations.' Selah 5The heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 6For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord, 7A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? 8Lord God of armies, who is like You, mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 9You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You calm them. 10You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. 11The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have established them. 12The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. 13You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted. 14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You. 15Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! Lord, they walk in the light of Your face.King James Version
Chapter 89
1{Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.} I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
