Psalms 89:6-19

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

7a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him?

8O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

9You rule over the proud sea. When its waves surge, you calm them.

10You crushed the Proud One and killed it; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11The heavens belong to you, as does the earth. You made the world and all it contains.

12You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

13Your arm is powerful, your hand strong, your right hand victorious.

14Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.

15How blessed are the people who worship you! O Lord, they experience your favor.

16They rejoice in your name all day long, and are vindicated by your justice.

17For you give them splendor and strength. By your favor we are victorious.

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

19Then you spoke through a vision to your faithful followers and said: “I have energized a warrior; I have raised up a young man from the people.
