Psalm 89:1-18

Christian Standard Bible

³ The Lord said,
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have sworn an oath to David my servant:
⁴ ‘I will establish your offspring forever
and build up your throne for all generations.’”^(E)Selah

⁵ Lord, the heavens praise your wonders^(F)—
your faithfulness also—
in the assembly of the holy ones.^(G)
6 For who in the skies can compare with the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings^[a] is like the Lord?^(H)
7 God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than^[b] all who surround him.^(I)
8 Lord God of Armies,
who is strong like you, Lord?^(J)
Your faithfulness surrounds you.
⁹ You rule the raging sea;
when its waves surge, you still them.^(K)
10 You crushed Rahab like one who is slain;^(L)
you scattered your enemies with your powerful arm.^(M)
11 The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours.
The world and everything in it—you founded them.^(N)
12 North and south—you created them.^(O)
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at your name.^(P)
13 You have a mighty arm;
your hand is powerful;
your right hand is lifted high.^(Q)
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation
of your throne;^(R)
faithful love and truth go before you.^(S)
15 Happy are the people who know the joyful shout;^(T)
Lord, they walk in the light from your face.^(U)
16 They rejoice in your name all day long,
and they are exalted by your righteousness.^(V)
17 For you are their magnificent strength;^(W)
by your favor our horn is exalted.^(X)
18 Surely our shield^[c] belongs to the Lord,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.^(Y)
