Psalms 89:12-20

¹²You created north and south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon celebrate you.

¹³Your arm is powerful. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is held up high in command.

¹⁴Your character of goodness and fairness is the basis for the way you rule; dependable love and trustworthiness are always with you.

¹⁵How happy are those who know how to shout your praises, Lord. They live in the light of your presence.

¹⁶They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.

¹⁷They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.

¹⁸Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.

²⁰I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.
