Psalms 88:3-15

³I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware to David my servant.

⁴I will establish your seed for ever, and build up your throne to all generations. Pause.

⁵The heavens shall declare your wonders, O Lord; and your truth in the assembly of the saints.

⁶For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?

⁷God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him.

⁸O Lord God of hosts, who is like to you? you are mighty, O Lord, and your truth is round about you.

⁹You rule the power of the sea; and you calm the tumult of its waves.

¹⁰You have brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of your power you have scattered your enemies.

¹¹The heavens are your, and the earth is your: you have founded the world, and the fullness of it.

¹²You have created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name.

¹³Your is the mighty arm: let your hand be strengthened, let your right hand be exalted.

¹⁴Justice and judgment are the establishment of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.

¹⁵Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance.
