Psalms 89:8-19

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.
