Psalms 88:16 - Psalms 89:7

16 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

Psalms 89
Intro: God praised for the establishment of his covenant. (Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.)

1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever, with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant.

4 Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord; thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
