[89:1] O Lord, I will always sing of your constant love; I will proclaim your faithfulness forever.
[89:2] I know that your love will last for all time, that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.
[89:3] You said, “I have made a covenant with the man I chose; I have promised my servant David,
[89:4] ‘A descendant of yours will always be king; I will preserve your dynasty forever.’”
[89:5] The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do; the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, Lord.
[89:6] No one in heaven is like you, Lord; none of the heavenly beings is your equal.
[89:7] You are feared in the council of the holy ones; they all stand in awe of you.
[89:8] Lord God Almighty, none is as mighty as you; in all things you are faithful, O Lord.
[89:9] You rule over the powerful sea; you calm its angry waves.
[89:10] You crushed the monster Rahab and killed it; with your mighty strength you defeated your enemies.
[89:11] Heaven is yours, the earth also; you made the world and everything in it.
[89:12] You created the north and the south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing to you for joy.
[89:13] How powerful you are! How great is your strength!
[89:14] Your kingdom is founded on righteousness and justice; love and faithfulness are shown in all you do.
[89:15] How happy are the people who worship you with songs, who live in the light of your kindness!
[89:16] Because of you they rejoice all day long, and they praise you for your goodness.
[89:17] You give us great victories; in your love you make us triumphant.
[89:18] You, O Lord, chose our protector; you, the Holy God of Israel, gave us our king.
