Psalms 89:3-28

3“I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:

4‘Your seed I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations.’ ” Selah

5And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.

6For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?

7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.

8O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

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

10You have broken Rahab in pieces, as 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 its fullness, You have founded them.

12The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.

13You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

15Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.

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

17For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.

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

19Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

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

21With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him.

22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague those who hate him.

24“But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

25Also I will set his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the rivers.

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

27Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

28My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
