Psalms 89:13-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. You have a powerful arm;your hand is strong;your strong hand is raised high!

14. Your throne is built on righteousness and justice;loyal love and faithfulness stand in front of you.

15. The people who know the celebratory shout are truly happy!They walk in the light of your presence, Lord!

16. They rejoice in your name all day longand are uplifted by your righteousness

17. because you are the splendor of their strength.By your favor you make us strong

18. because our shield is the Lord’s own;our king belongs to the holy one of Israel!

19. Once you spoke in a visionto your faithful servants:I placed a crown on a strong man.I raised up someone specially chosen from the people.

20. I discovered my servant David.I anointed him with my holy oil.

21. My hand will sustain him—yes, my arm will strengthen him!
