Psalms 89:8-19

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.
