Psalms 89:6-19

6In all the heavens, there is no one like you, Lord! No angel in heaven is equal to you.

7When the angels meet together in heaven, they respect you with fear. All who meet round your throne in heaven respect you, as you deserve.

8Lord God Almighty, no one is as powerful as you! You are always faithful in all that you do!

9You rule over the powerful sea. When the waves rise up, you make them quiet again.

10You caught the monster Rahab and you killed it! With your power, you chased away your enemies.

11The heavens belong to you and so does the earth. You made the world and everything that is in it.

12You made everything, from the north to the south. Tabor and Hermon are happy to praise your name.

13You have great strength, and you can do great things. You hold up your right hand, as you win against your enemies.

14As King, you rule with justice, and you always do what is right. You show your faithful love and you are faithful.

15You have truly blessed the people who know how to praise you, Lord. They know that you are pleased with them.

16They praise your name all the time. Your justice makes them happy.

17You give strength and glory to your people. Because you are kind to us, we win against our enemies.

18Yes! Our king belongs to the Lord, and he protects us like a shield. Our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

19A long time ago, Lord, you spoke to your servants. In a vision, you said to them, ‘I have helped a brave soldier to be strong. I have chosen as king a young man from among the people.
