Psalms [Praises] 89:3-17

³“I have made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with my chosen one, I have sworn to David Beloved, my servant,

⁴‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

⁵The heavens will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· of your wonders, Adonai ; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

⁶For who in the skies can be compared to Adonai ? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Adonai ,

⁷a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?

⁸Adonai , Elohim Tzva'ot Yahweh, God Commander of heaven’s armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

⁹You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.

¹⁰You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

¹¹The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them.

¹²The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon Devoted to destruction rejoice in your name.

¹³You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.

¹⁴Righteousness and mishpat ·justice· are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

¹⁵Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Adonai .

¹⁶In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.

¹⁷For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
