Psalm 89:1-29

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)

¹⁹ You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones
and said, “I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen^[d] from the people.^(Z)
20 I have found David my servant;
I have anointed him with my sacred oil.^(AA)
21 My hand will always be with him,
and my arm will strengthen him.^(AB)
22 The enemy will not oppress^[e] him;
the wicked will not afflict him.^(AC)
23 I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.^(AD)
24 My faithfulness and love will be with him,
and through my name
his horn will be exalted.^(AE)
25 I will extend his power to the sea
and his right hand to the rivers.^(AF)
26 He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,^(AG)
my God, the rock of my salvation.’^(AH)
27 I will also make him my firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.^(AI)
28 I will always preserve my faithful love for him,
and my covenant with him will endure.^(AJ)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as heaven lasts.^[f](AK)
