Psalms 89:6-19

6For who in the skies can compare with the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?

7God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, more awe-inspiring than all who surround him.

8Lord God of Armies, who is strong like you, Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

9You rule the raging sea; when its waves surge, you still them.

10You crushed Rahab like one who is slain; you scattered your enemies with your powerful arm.

11The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours. The world and everything in it — you founded them.

12North and south — you created them. Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at your name.

13You have a mighty arm; your hand is powerful; your right hand is lifted high.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; faithful love and truth go before you.

15Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; Lord, they walk in the light from your face.

16They rejoice in your name all day long, and they are exalted by your righteousness.

17For you are their magnificent strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.

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

19You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones and said, “I have granted help to a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
