Ψαλμοί 89
1 «Μασχίλ του Εθάν του Εζραΐτου.» Τα ελέη του Κυρίου εις τον αιώνα θέλω ψάλλει· διά του στόματός μου θέλω αναγγέλλει την αλήθειάν σου εις γενεάν και γενεάν.
Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me; people not yet born will hear that you faithfully [do all that you have promised].

I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever, and that your being faithful [to do what you have promised] is as permanent as the sky.

Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose [to serve me]. I have made this solemn (agreement with/promise to) him:

‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”

Yahweh, I desire that all [those beings who are in] [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do, and that all your holy angels will sing about how you faithfully [do what you promise].
