Psalms 89:1-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. I will sing of the Lord’s loyal love forever.I will proclaim your faithfulnesswith my own mouthfrom one generation to the next.

2. That’s why I say,"Your loyal love is rightly built—forever!You establish your faithfulness in heaven."

3. You said, "I made a covenant with my chosen one;I promised my servant David:

4. ‘I will establish your offspring forever;I will build up your throne from one generation to the next.’" Selah

5. Heaven thanks you for your wondrous acts, Lord—for your faithfulness too—in the assembly of the holy ones.

6. Is there any in the sky who could compare to the Lord?Who among the gods is equal to the Lord?

7. God is respected in the council of the holy ones;God is awesome and revered more than all those around him.

8. Who is like you, Lord God of heavenly forces?Mighty Lord, your faithfulness surrounds you!

9. You rule over the surging sea:When its waves rise up,it’s you who makes them still.

10. It’s you who crushed Rahab like a dead body;you scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

11. Heaven is yours! The earth too!The world and all that fills it—you made all of it! North and south—you created them!

12. The mountains Tabor and Hermonshout praises to your name.
