Psalms 89:1-12

¹An instruction. Of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation.

²For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.

³I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant:

⁴Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.

⁵And the heavens shall celebrate thy wonders, O Jehovah, and thy faithfulness in the congregation of the saints.

⁶For who in the heaven can be compared to Jehovah? who among the sons of the mighty shall be likened to Jehovah?

⁷God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him.

⁸Jehovah, God of hosts, who is like unto thee, the strong Jah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

⁹Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.

¹⁰Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

¹¹Thine are the heavens, the earth also is thine; the world and its fulness, thou hast founded them.

¹²The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon triumph in thy name.
