I have called on you daily, Yahweh. I have spread out my hands to you. 088:010 Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? Selah. 088:011 Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction? 088:012 Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 088:013 But to you, Yahweh, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you. 088:014 Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me? 088:015 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted. 088:016 Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off. 088:017 They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me. 088:018 You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. 089:001 <<A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite.>> I will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. 089:002 I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them." 089:003 "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant, 089:004 'I will establish your seed forever, and build up your throne to all generations.'" Selah. 089:005 The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh; your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 089:006 For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh, 089:007 a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him? 089:008 Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you. 089:009 You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them. 089:010 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. 089:011 The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them. 089:012 The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. 089:013 You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted. 089:014 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face. 089:015 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh. 089:016 In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted. 089:017 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted. 089:018 For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king to the Holy One of Israel.
