Salmos 89
1 Maskil de Etán ezrahita. Quiero cantar eternamente las misericordias de Yahvé; que mi boca anuncie tu fidelidad de generación en generación.
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].
2 Porque Tú dijiste: “La misericordia está afianzada para siempre”, y en el cielo afirmaste tu fidelidad:
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.
3 “He hecho un pacto con mi escogido, he jurado a David, mi siervo:
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.’”
5 Los cielos pregonan tus maravillas, oh Yahvé, y tu fidelidad la asamblea de los santos.
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].
6 Porque ¿quién en los cielos se igualará a Yahvé, y quién entre los hijos de Dios será semejante a Él?

When your holy angels gather together, they declare that you must be revered; they say that you are more awesome than all the angels that surround your throne!
8 ¡Yahvé, Dios de los ejércitos! ¿Quién como Tú? Poderoso eres, oh Yah, y tu fidelidad te circunda.
O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are; your faithfully doing [all that you promise] is [like a cloak that] [MET] [always] surrounds you.
