Psalms 89:6-23 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. For who in the skies can compare with the Lord?Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?

7. God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

8. Lord God of Hosts,who is strong like You, Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds You.

9. You rule the raging sea;when its waves surge, You still them.

10. You crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your powerful arm.

11. The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours.The world and everything in it — You founded them.

12. North and south — You created them. Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.

13. You have a mighty arm;Your hand is powerful;Your right hand is lifted high.

14. Righteousness and justice are the foundationof Your throne; faithful love and truth go before You.

15. Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; Yahweh, they walk in the light of Your presence.

16. They rejoice in Your name all day long,and they are exalted by Your righteousness.

17. For You are their magnificent strength; by Your favor our horn is exalted.

18. Surely our shield belongs to the Lord,our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19. You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal onesand said: “I have granted help to a warrior;I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20. I have found David My servant;I have anointed him with My sacred oil.

21. My hand will always be with him,and My arm will strengthen him.

22. The enemy will not afflict him;no wicked man will oppress him.

23. I will crush his foes before himand strike those who hate him.
