I Will Sing of the Steadfast Love of the LORD

A Maskil ^{1 89:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term} of Ethan the Ezrahite.

1  I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever;
    with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2  For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever;
    in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.”
3  You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
    I have sworn to David my servant:
4  ‘I will establish your offspring forever,
    and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah

5  Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD,
    your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
6  For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD?
    Who among the heavenly beings ^{2 89:6 Hebrew the sons of God, or the sons of might} is like the LORD,
7  a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones,
    and awesome above all who are around him?
8  O LORD God of hosts,
    who is mighty as you are, O LORD,
    with your faithfulness all around you?
9  You rule the raging of the sea;
    when its waves rise, you still them.
10  You crushed Rahab like a carcass;
    you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11  The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
    the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.
12  The north and the south, you have created them;
    Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.
13  You have a mighty arm;
    strong is your hand, high your right hand.
14  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
15  Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
    who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face,
16  who exult in your name all the day
    and in your righteousness are exalted.
17  For you are the glory of their strength;
    by your favor our horn is exalted.
18  For our shield belongs to the LORD,
    our king to the Holy One of Israel.
