Psalm 89:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness.

See the chapter Copy

The heav'ns declare his righteousness, all men his glory see.

The heav'ns God's glory do declare, the skies his hand-works preach:

And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare: Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are.

Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev'rence be ador'd.

And so will I perpetually sing praise unto thy name; That having made my vows, I may each day perform the same.

But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way:

It, like the moon, shall ever be establish'd stedfastly; And like to that which in the heav'n doth witness faithfully.

The Lord in truth to David sware, he will not turn from it, I of thy body's fruit will make upon thy throne to sit.
