Psalms 89:5-14

5The 1heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord; Your faithfulness also 2in the assembly of the 3holy ones.6For 4who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the 56sons of the mighty is like the Lord,7A God 7greatly feared in the council of the 8holy ones, And 9awesome above all those who are around Him?8Lord God of armies, 10who is like You, mighty 11Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.9You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You 12calm them.10You Yourself crushed 1314Rahab like one who is slain; You 15scattered Your enemies with 16Your mighty arm.

11The 17heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The 18world and 19all it contains, You have established them.12The 20north and the south, You have created them; 21Tabor and 22Hermon 23shout for joy at Your name.13You have 24a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your 25right hand is exalted.1426Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; 27Mercy and 28truth go before You.
