[Psalm 89:1-16] 

1. 'n Onderwysing van Etan, die Esrahiet.

2. Die goedertierenhede van die Here wil ek vir ewig besing; ek wil U trou bekend maak met my mond, van geslag tot geslag. 

3. Want ek het gesê: "Goedertierenheid sal vir ewig gebou word; in die hemele - daar bevestig U, U trou."

4. "'Ek het 'n verbond gesluit met my uitverkorene, met 'n eed aan Dawid My kneg belowe:

5. 'Tot in ewigheid sal Ek jou nageslag bevestig, en jou troon opbou van geslag tot geslag.' Sela. 

6. "En die hemele loof U wondermag, O Here, ook U trou in die vergadering van die heiliges.

7. "Want wie kan in die hemel met die Here vergelyk word? Wie is soos die Here onder die hemelinge?

8. "'n God, grootliks gedug in die raad van die heiliges, en vreeslik bo almal wat rondom Hom is.  

9. "O Here, God van die leërskare, wie is soos U? Grootmagtig is U O Here, en U trou is rondom U!

10. "Ú heers oor die trotsheid van die see; as sy golwe hulle verhef, bring U hulle tot bedaring. 

11. "U het Rahab (Egipte) verbrysel soos een wat verslaan is, met U sterke arm U vyande verstrooi. 

12. "Aan U behoort die hemel, aan U ook die aarde; die wêreld en sy volheid - U het dit gegrond,

13. "Die noorde en die suide - U het dit geskape; Tabor en Hermon jubel in U Naam.

14. "U het 'n arm met mag; U hand is sterk, U regterhand verhewe. 

15. "Geregtigheid en reg is die grondslag van U troon; goedertierenheid en trou gaan voor U aangesig uit.

16. "Welgeluksalig is die volk wat die geklank ken; O Here; hulle wandel in die lig van U aangesig."
