Psalms 89:3-28

3[God has said] “I have made a covenant with My chosen one; I have sworn to David My servant,

4I will establish your seed forever And I will build up your throne for all generations.” Selah.

5The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord, Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

6For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the divine beings is like the Lord,

7A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?

8O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being].

9You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

10You have crushed Rahab (Egypt) like one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them.

12The north and the south, You have created them; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

13You have a strong arm; Mighty is Your hand, Your right hand is exalted.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

15Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]! They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!

16In Your name they rejoice all the day, And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

18For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21With whom My hand shall be established and steadfast; My arm also shall strengthen him.

22The enemy will not outwit him, Nor will the wicked man afflict or humiliate him.

23I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and My steadfast lovingkindness shall be with him, And in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].

25I will also set his hand on the [Mediterranean] sea, And his right hand on the rivers [the tributaries of the Euphrates].

26He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

27I will also make him My firstborn (preeminent), The highest of the kings of the earth.

28My lovingkindness I will keep for him forevermore, And My covenant will be confirmed to him.
