Psalm 89:5-26

English Standard Version

⁵Let ^(A)the heavens praise your ^(B)wonders, O Lord,
    your faithfulness in the assembly of ^(C)the holy ones!
⁶For ^(D)who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
    ^(E)Who among the heavenly beings^[a] is like the Lord,
⁷a God greatly ^(F)to be feared in the council of ^(G)the holy ones,
    and awesome above all ^(H)who are around him?
⁸O Lord God of hosts,
    ^(I)who is mighty as you are, O ^(J)Lord,
    with your faithfulness all around you?
⁹You rule the raging of the sea;
    when its waves rise, you ^(K)still them.
¹⁰You ^(L)crushed ^(M)Rahab like a carcass;
    you ^(N)scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
¹¹^(O)The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
    ^(P)the world and all that is in it, you have ^(Q)founded them.
¹²^(R)The north and the south, you have created them;
    ^(S)Tabor and ^(T)Hermon ^(U)joyously praise your name.
¹³You have a mighty arm;
    strong is your hand, high your right hand.
¹⁴^(V)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    ^(W)steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
¹⁵Blessed are the people who know ^(X)the festal shout,
    who walk, O Lord, in ^(Y)the light of your face,
¹⁶who exult in your ^(Z)name all the day
    and in your righteousness are ^(AA)exalted.
¹⁷For you are ^(AB)the glory of their strength;
    by your favor our ^(AC)horn is exalted.
¹⁸For our ^(AD)shield belongs to the Lord,
    our king to ^(AE)the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹^(AF)Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,^[b] and said:
    “I have ^(AG)granted help to one who is ^(AH)mighty;
    I have exalted one ^(AI)chosen from the people.
²⁰^(AJ)I have found David, my servant;
    with my holy oil I have ^(AK)anointed him,
²¹so that my ^(AL)hand shall be established with him;
    my arm also shall strengthen him.
²²The enemy shall not outwit him;
    ^(AM)the wicked shall not humble him.
²³I will ^(AN)crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.
²⁴My ^(AO)faithfulness and my ^(AP)steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name shall his ^(AQ)horn be exalted.
²⁵I will set his hand on ^(AR)the sea
    and his right hand on ^(AS)the rivers.
²⁶He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^(AT)Father,
    my God, and ^(AU)the Rock of my salvation.’
