Psalms 89
Intro: God praised for the establishment of his covenant. (Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.)
1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant.
4 Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord; thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
