Psalms 89:6-19

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

7a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?

8O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you?

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

10You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you 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 them.

12The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.

13You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.

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

15Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,

16who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted.

17For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.

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

19Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: "I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
