Psalms 89:7-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. When the holy ones meet, it is God they fear.He is more frightening than all who surround him.

8. Lord God of heaven’s armies, who is like you?Lord, you are powerful and completely to be trusted.

9. You rule the mighty sea.You calm the stormy waves.

10. You crushed the sea monster Rahab.By your power you scattered your enemies.

11. The skies and the earth belong to you.You made the world and everything in it.

12. You created the north and the south.Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing for joy at your name.

13. Your arm has great power.Your hand is strong. Your right hand is lifted up.

14. Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair.Love and truth are in all you do.

15. Happy are the people who know how to praise you.Lord, let them live in the light of your presence.

16. In your name they rejoice all the time.They praise your goodness.

17. You are their glorious strength.In your kindness you honor our king.

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

19. Once, in a vision, you spoketo those who worship you.You said, “I have given strength to a warrior.I have selected a young man from my people.

20. I have found my servant David.I appointed him by pouring holy oil on him.

21. I will steady him with my hand.I will strengthen him with my arm.

22. No enemy will make him give forced payments.Wicked people will not defeat him.

23. I will crush his enemies in front of him.I will defeat those who hate him.
