Salmos 89
1 Las misericordias de Jehová cantaré perpetuamente: en generación y generación haré notoria tu verdad con mi boca.
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 dije: Para siempre será edificada misericordia en los cielos: en ellos afirmarás tu verdad.
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 Hice alianza con mi escogido: juré 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:
4 Para siempre confirmaré tu simiente: y edificaré de generación en generación tu trono. (Selah)
‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings; the line of kings descended from you [MTY] will never end.’”
5 Y celebrarán los cielos tu maravilla, o! Jehová: tu verdad también en la congregación 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 con Jehová? ¿ Quién será semejante a Jehová entre los hijos de los dioses?
There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh. There are no angels [RHQ] in heaven who are equal to you.
7 Dios terrible en la grande congregación de los santos, y formidable sobre todos sus al rededores.
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 Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, ¿quién como tú, fuerte - Jehová; y tu verdad al rededor de ti?
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.
9 Tú dominas sobre la soberbia de la mar: cuando se levantan sus ondas, tú las haces sosegar.
You rule over the powerful seas; when their waves rise up, you calm them.
10 Tú quebrantaste como muerto a Egipto; con el brazo de tu fortaleza esparciste a tus enemigos.
