Psalms 89:8-22

⁸Yahweh God of hosts, who is strong like you, Yahweh? Your truthfulness surrounds you.

⁹You rule the raging sea; when the waves surge, you calm them.

¹⁰You crushed Rahab as one who is killed. You scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

¹¹The heavens belong to you, and the earth also. You made the world and all it contains.

¹²You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

¹³You have a mighty arm and a strong hand, and your right hand is high.

¹⁴Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness come before you.

¹⁵Blessed are the people who worship you! Yahweh, they walk in the light of your face.

¹⁶They rejoice in your name all day long, and in your righteousness they exalt you.

¹⁷You are their majestic strength, and by your favor we are victorious.

¹⁸For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones; you said, “I have set a crown on a mighty one.” I have raised up one chosen from among the people.

²⁰I have chosen David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.

²¹My hand will support him; my arm will strengthen him.

²²No enemy will deceive him; no son of wickedness will oppress him.
