Psalm 89:1-18 - King David's Mighty Hand

Psalm 89:1-18
1 I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever;
To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.
For I have said, “Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.”
“I have made a covenant with My chosen;
I have sworn to David My servant,
I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah.

The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
And awesome above all those who are around Him?
O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
You rule the swelling of the sea;
When its waves rise, You still them.
10 You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain;
You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all it contains, You have founded them.
12 The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
13 You have a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
15 How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
16 In Your name they rejoice all the day, and by Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.


Message: King David's Mighty Hand

Time: The psalms were written by many different people across a period of a thousand years in Israel's history. They are thought to have been compiled and put together in their present form by some unknown editor shortly after the captivity ended about 537 B.C.

What the Lord is Saying:

Lord, I enter your presence, today, bowing down in spirit, I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; to all generations (all ages of people) I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth. I sing to you, but I make you known to everyone. You God will remain loving forever. Lovingkindness will be built up forever; above me Lord, in the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness. Thank you God for making a covenant with me, your chosen. Thank you for establishing my seed forever through Jesus Christ. I never have to doubt or question my eternal state with God. The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also as we gather together at church, with one another. Your faithfulness is always amazing.For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? No one. No one in all of the world that we see and cannot see is comparable to the Lord. None of the angels (sons of the mighty) is like the Lord. God, you are greatly feared among the people of God, the holy ones and you are awesome above anyone that is around you. O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. You have power over the sea. When its waves rise, You still them. As I think of the sea and your power over it, I am reminded of how You Yourself redeemed your people in the Red Sea; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. The heavens, the earth, the world and all it contains, You have founded them and all is Yours. You own it all God and all that we see is for you. You created directions. The north and the south, You have created them. The mountains of Tabor and Hermon in the land of Canaan shout for joy and proclaim on high you God. Your name is majesty and is shouted from the mountaintops. Lord, you are a God with power. You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your hand is exalted. You exercise your will with power. O God, righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne. You are right. You are perfect. You are good. You judge fairly and your kingship is of order. You reign with power. Lovingkindness and truth go before You. How blessed are the people of God who know the amazing and wonderful sound of God's righteousness, justice, and lovingkindness. Our walk is bright; You God shine upon us. In Jesus name there is rejoicing all the day. And by your righteouness, your making us clean from sin and declaring us in right standing with God and because of this they (the Church) is exalted. The joy of the Lord is my strength. by Your favor our horn (power) is exalted. Our shield belongs to the Lord and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

God has done a great work with his people. 

Promise: No one can compare with the Lord revealed in Scripture.
