Psalm 89:6-24 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,

7. A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?

8. O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

9. Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.

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

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

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

14. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.

15. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.

16. In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.

17. For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

18. For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

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

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

21. With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22. The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23. And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.

24. But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted.
