Psalms 89:1-14 New English Translation (NET)

1. I will sing continually about the Lord’s faithful deeds;to future generations I will proclaim your faithfulness.

2. For I say, “Loyal love is permanently established;in the skies you set up your faithfulness.”

3. The Lord said,“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

4. ‘I will give you an eternal dynastyand establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah)

5. O Lord, the heavens praise your amazing deeds,as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly.

6. For who in the skies can compare to the Lord?Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings,

7. a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly,and more awesome than all who surround him?

8. O Lord, sovereign God!Who is strong like you, O Lord?Your faithfulness surrounds you.

9. You rule over the proud sea.When its waves surge, you calm them.

10. You crushed the Proud One and killed it;with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11. The heavens belong to you, as does the earth.You made the world and all it contains.

12. You created the north and the south.Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

13. Your arm is powerful,your hand strong,your right hand victorious.

14. Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne.Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.
