Psalms 89:6-19
6For who in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 unto YhwhH3068? who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 unto YhwhH3068?
7GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saintsH6918, and to be had in reverenceH3372 of all them that are aboutH5439 him.
8O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ArmiesH6635, who is a strongH2626 YahH3050 like unto thee? or to thy faithfulnessH530 round aboutH5439 thee?
9Thou rulestH4910 the ragingH1348 of the seaH3220: when the wavesH1530 thereof ariseH7721, thou stillestH7623 them.
10Thou hast brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in piecesH1792, as one that is slainH2491; thou hast scatteredH6340 thine enemiesH341 with thy strongH5797 armH2220.12
11The heavensH8064 are thine, the earthH776 also is thine: as for the worldH8398 and the fulnessH4393 thereof, thou hast foundedH3245 them.3
12The northH6828 and the southH3225 thou hast createdH1254 them: TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shall rejoiceH7442 in thy nameH8034.
13Thou hast a mightyH1369 armH2220: strongH5810 is thy handH3027, and highH7311 is thy right handH3225.4
14RighteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the foundationH4349 of thy throneH3678: mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before thy faceH6440.5
15BlessedH835 is the peopleH5971 that knowH3045 the joyful soundH8643: they shall walkH1980, O YhwhH3068, in the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440.
16In thy nameH8034 shall they rejoiceH1523 all the dayH3117: and in thy righteousnessH6666 shall they be exaltedH7311.
17For thou art the gloryH8597 of their strengthH5797: and in thy favourH7522 our hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311.
18For YhwhH3068 is our defenceH4043; and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 is our kingH4428.6
19Then thou spakestH1696 in visionH2377 to thy holy oneH2623, and saidstH559, I have laidH7737 helpH5828 upon one that is mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH977 out of the peopleH5971.
