89:1 A well-written song ²  by Ethan the Ezrachite.

I will sing continually ³  about the Lord’s faithful deeds;

to future generations I will proclaim your faithfulness. ⁴ 

89:2 For I say, “Loyal love is permanently established; ⁵ 

in the skies you set up your faithfulness.” ⁶ 

89:3 The Lord said, ⁷ 

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;

I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

89:4 ‘I will give you an eternal dynasty ⁸ 

and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” ⁹  (Selah)

89:5 O Lord, the heavens ¹⁰  praise your amazing deeds,

as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. ¹¹ 

89:6 For who in the skies can compare to the Lord?

Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings, ¹² 

89:7 a God who is honored ¹³  in the great angelic assembly, ¹⁴ 

and more awesome than ¹⁵  all who surround him?

89:8 O Lord, sovereign God! ¹⁶ 

Who is strong like you, O Lord?

Your faithfulness surrounds you.
