Psalms 89

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

1I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.

2For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”

3You 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 up your throne for all generations.’” Selah
