Psalm 89:1-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³ You said, ‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
    I have sworn to my servant David:
⁴ “I will establish your descendants for ever,
    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 is like the Lord,
⁷ a God feared in the council of the holy ones,
    great and awesome^[b] above all that are around him?
⁸ O Lord God of hosts,
    who is as mighty as you, O Lord?
    Your faithfulness surrounds 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^[c]—you 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 Happy are the people who know the festal shout,
    who walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance;
¹⁶ they exult in your name all day long,
    and extol^[d] your righteousness.
¹⁷ For you are the glory of their strength;
    by your favour our horn is exalted.
¹⁸ For our shield belongs to the Lord,
    our king to the Holy One of Israel.
