Psalm 89:4-30

New International Version

⁵ The heavens^(B) praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly^(C) of the holy ones.
⁶ For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?^(D)
7 In the council^(E) of the holy ones^(F) God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.^(G)
8 Who is like you,^(H) Lord God Almighty?^(I)
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

⁹ You rule over the surging sea;
    when its waves mount up, you still them.^(J)
10 You crushed Rahab^(K) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered^(L) your enemies.
¹¹ The heavens are yours,^(M) and yours also the earth;^(N)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.^(O)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor^(P) and Hermon^(Q) sing for joy^(R) at your name.
¹³ Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.^(S)

¹⁴ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;^(T)
    love and faithfulness go before you.^(U)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk^(V) in the light^(W) of your presence, Lord.
¹⁶ They rejoice in your name^(X) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
¹⁷ For you are their glory and strength,^(Y)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.^[b](Z)
18 Indeed, our shield^[c](AA) belongs to the Lord,
    our king^(AB) to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹ Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
²⁰ I have found David^(AC) my servant;^(AD)
    with my sacred oil^(AE) I have anointed^(AF) him.
²¹ My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.^(AG)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;^(AH)
    the wicked will not oppress^(AI) him.
²³ I will crush his foes before him^(AJ)
    and strike down his adversaries.^(AK)
24 My faithful love will be with him,^(AL)
    and through my name his horn^[d] will be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.^(AM)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,^(AN)
    my God, the Rock^(AO) my Savior.’^(AP)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,^(AQ)
    the most exalted^(AR) of the kings^(AS) of the earth.
²⁸ I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.^(AT)
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.^(AU)

³⁰ “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
