Psalms 89:8-19

8Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

9You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

10You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

11The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.

12You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.

13Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.

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

15Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

16They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.

17For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.

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

19Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: “I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people.
