Psalms 89:8-19

8O Lord God of Armies, who is like you? Mighty Lord, even your faithfulness surrounds you.

9You rule the raging sea. When its waves rise, you quiet them.

10You crushed Rahab;  it was like a corpse. With your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11The heavens are yours. The earth is also yours. You made the world and everything in it.

12You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing your name joyfully.

13Your arm is mighty. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is lifted high.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne. Mercy and truth stand in front of you.

15Blessed are the people who know how to praise you. They walk in the light of your presence, O Lord.

16They find joy in your name all day long. They are joyful in your righteousness

17because you are the glory of their strength. By your favor you give us victory.

18Our shield belongs to the Lord. Our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

19Once in a vision you said to your faithful ones: “I set a boy above warriors. I have raised up one chosen from the people.
