Psalms 89:6-19

6For who in the heaven can be compared unto Yhwh? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto Yhwh?

7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

8O Yhwh God of Armies, who is a strong Yah like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.12

11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.3

12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.4

14Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.5

15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Yhwh, in the light of thy countenance.

16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

18For Yhwh is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.6

19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
