Psalms 89:8-19

8O LORD GodH410 of hosts, who is a mightyH410 one, like unto thee, O JAH? and thy faithfulness is roundH5439 aboutH5439 thee.

9Thou rulest the pride 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 the arm of thy strength.

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

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

13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy handH3225, and high is thy rightH3225 handH3225.

14Righteousness and judgmentH3027 are the foundation of thy throne: mercy and truth go beforeH5973 thy face.

15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they walk, O LORDH2617, in the light of thy countenanceH6440.

16In thy name do they rejoice allH3045 the day: and in thy righteousness are they exalted.

17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exaltedH7311.

18For our shield belongeth unto the LORD; and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19Then thou spakest in vision to thy saintsH6918, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
