Psalms 89:6-19

6For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?

7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.

8O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

9You rule the raging of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

10You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.

12The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.

13You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

15Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.

16In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.

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

19Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
