Psalms 89:8-19
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.
