Psalms 89:2-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 89
2For I have said, 'Graciousness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.' 3'I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David, 4I will establish your descendants forever And build up your throne to all generations.' Selah 5The heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 6For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord, 7A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? 8Lord God of armies, who is like You, mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 9You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You calm them. 10You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. 11The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have established them. 12The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. 13You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted. 14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You. 15Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! Lord, they walk in the light of Your face. 16In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted. 17For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted. 18For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel. 19 Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, 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 will be established; My arm also will strengthen him. 22The enemy will not deceive him, Nor will the son of wickedness afflict him. 23But I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.King James Version

Chapter 89
2For I will declare, "Faithful love is built up forever; you establish your faithfulness in the heavens." 3The Lord said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn an oath to David my servant:
4‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’" Selah
5 Lord, the heavens praise your wonders — your faithfulness also— in the assembly of the holy ones.
6For who in the skies can compare with the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?
7God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, more awe-inspiring than all who surround him.
8 Lord God of Armies, who is strong like you, Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.
9You rule the raging sea; when its waves surge, you still them.
10You crushed Rahab like one who is slain; you scattered your enemies with your powerful arm.
11The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours. The world and everything in it—you founded them.
12North and south—you created them. Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at your name.
13You have a mighty arm; your hand is powerful; your right hand is lifted high.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; faithful love and truth go before you.
15Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; Lord, they walk in the light from your face.
16They rejoice in your name all day long, and they are exalted by your righteousness.
17For you are their magnificent strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.
18Surely our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones and said: "I have granted help to a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20I have found David my servant; I have anointed him with my sacred oil.
21My hand will always be with him, and my arm will strengthen him.
22The enemy will not oppress him; the wicked will not afflict him.
23I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him.

5All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.
6For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord? What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord?
7The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
8O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful.
9You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves.
10You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours — you created it all.
12You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name.
13Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.
15Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
16They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness.
17You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong.
18Yes, our protection comes from the Lord, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.
19Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, 'I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king.
20I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.
21I will steady him with my hand; with my powerful arm I will make him strong.
22His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.
23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

Chapter 89
2For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.” 3“I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:
5And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?
7 God 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.
9 You rule the raging of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 The 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.
20 I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With 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.
