Psalms 89:3-28

3⌞You said,⌟ “I have made a promise  to my chosen one. I swore this oath to my servant David:

4‘I will make your dynasty continue forever. I built your throne to last throughout every generation.’ ” Selah

5O Lord, the heavens praise your miracles and your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

6Who in the skies can compare with the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?

7God is terrifying in the council of the holy ones. He is greater and more awe-inspiring than those who surround him.

8O Lord God of Armies, who is like you? Mighty Lord, even your faithfulness surrounds you.

9You rule the raging sea. When its waves rise, you quiet them.

10You crushed Rahab;  it was like a corpse. With your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11The heavens are yours. The earth is also yours. You made the world and everything in it.

12You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing your name joyfully.

13Your arm is mighty. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is lifted high.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne. Mercy and truth stand in front of you.

15Blessed are the people who know how to praise you. They walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.

16They find joy in your name all day long. They are joyful in your righteousness

17because you are the glory of their strength. By your favor you give us victory.

18Our shield belongs to the Lord. Our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

19Once in a vision you said to your faithful ones: “I set a boy above warriors. I have raised up one chosen from the people.

20I found my servant David. I anointed him with my holy oil.

21My hand is ready to help him. My arm will also give him strength.

22No enemy will take him by surprise. No wicked person will mistreat him.

23I will crush his enemies in front of him and defeat those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and mercy will be with him, and in my name he will be victorious.

25I will put his ⌞left⌟ hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

26He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’

27Yes, I will make him the firstborn. He will be the Most High to the kings of the earth.

28My mercy will stay with him forever. My promise to him is unbreakable.
