Psalms 89:6-19

6For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the divine beings is like the Lord,

7A God greatly feared and reverently worshiped in the council of the holy [angelic] ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?

8O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds You [as an intrinsic, unchangeable part of Your very being].

9You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

10You have crushed Rahab (Egypt) like one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all that is in it, You have founded and established them.

12The north and the south, You have created them; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

13You have a strong arm; Mighty is Your hand, Your right hand is exalted.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

15Blessed and happy are the people who know the joyful sound [of the trumpet’s blast]! They walk, O Lord, in the light and favor of Your countenance!

16In Your name they rejoice all the day, And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17For You are the glory of their strength [their proud adornment], And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

18For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
