Psalm 89:1-18

1     Your love, O LORD, for ever will I sing; *
from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness.

2     For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; *
you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens.

3     “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; *
I have sworn an oath to David my servant:

4     ‘I will establish your line for ever, *
and preserve your throne for all generations.'”

5     The heavens bear witness to your wonders, O LORD, *
and to your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones;

6     For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? *
who is like the LORD among the gods?

7     God is much to be feared in the council of the holy ones, *
great and terrible to all those round about him.

8     Who is like you, LORD God of hosts? *
O mighty LORD, your faithfulness is all around you.

9     You rule the raging of the sea *
and still the surging of its waves.

10     You have crushed Rahab of the deep with a deadly wound; *
you have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11     Yours are the heavens; the earth also is yours; *
you laid the foundations of the world and all that is in it.

12     You have made the north and the south; *
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your Name.

13     You have a mighty arm; *
strong is your hand and high is your right hand.

14     Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne; *
love and truth go before your face.

15     Happy are the people who know the festal shout! *
they walk, O LORD, in the light of your presence.

16     They rejoice daily in your Name; *
they are jubilant in your righteousness.

17     For you are the glory of their strength, *
and by your favor our might is exalted.

18     Truly, the LORD is our ruler; *
The Holy One of Israel is our King.
