Covenant with David’s Seed

Psalm 89

A contemplative song of Ethan the Ezrahite.
I will sing of the love of Adonai forever.
To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.
For I said, “Let your lovingkindness be built up forever!
The heavens—let Your faithfulness be made firm there!”

“I have made a covenant with My chosen one.
I have sworn to David My servant:
‘Forever I will establish your seed,
and will build your throne from generation to generation.’”[a] Selah

The heavens praise Your wonders, Adonai
—Your faithfulness, too—
in the assembly of the kedoshim.
For who in the skies can compare to Adonai?
Who is like Adonai among the sons of gods?
God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
and awesome above all around Him.
Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, who is like You, mighty Adonai,
with Your faithfulness all around You?
10 You rule over the swelling of the sea.
When its waves mount up, You still them.
