Psalm 89:1-8

Common English Bible

Psalm 89

A maskil^[a] of Ethan the Ezrahite.

89 I will sing of the Lord’s loyal love forever.
    I will proclaim your faithfulness
    with my own mouth
    from one generation to the next.
²That’s why I say,
    “Your^[b] loyal love is rightly built—forever!
    You establish your faithfulness in heaven.”
³You said,^[c] “I made a covenant with my chosen one;
    I promised my servant David:
⁴    ‘I will establish your offspring forever;
    I will build up your throne from one generation to the next.’” Selah

⁵Heaven thanks you for your wondrous acts, Lord—
    for your faithfulness too—
    in the assembly of the holy ones.
⁶Is there any in the sky who could compare to the Lord?
    Who among the gods is equal to the Lord?
⁷God is respected in the council of the holy ones;
    God is awesome and revered more than all those around him.
⁸Who is like you, Lord God of heavenly forces?
    Mighty Lord, your faithfulness surrounds you!
