Psalms 89:10-29

¹⁰Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.

¹¹The heavens are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.

¹²The North and the South were created by thee; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.

¹³Thine is a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high thy right hand.

¹⁴Justice and equity are the foundation of thy throne; Mercy and truth go before thy face.

¹⁵Happy the people that know the trumpet's sound! They walk, O LORD! in the light of thy countenance;

¹⁶In thy name they daily rejoice, And in thy righteousness they glory!

¹⁷For thou art the glory of their strength; Yea, through thy favor our horn exalteth itself!

¹⁸For from Jehovah is our shield, And from the Holy One of Israel is our king.

¹⁹Once thou spakest in a vision to thy holy one, And saidst,—”I have laid help on one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people;

²⁰I have found David, my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him.

²¹With him shall my hand be established, And my arm shall strengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.

²³For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.

²⁴My faithfulness and mercy shall be with him, And through my name shall his horn be exalted.

²⁵I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.

²⁶He shall say to me, 'Thou art my father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'

²⁷I will also make him my first-born, Highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.

²⁹I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
