 ‘I will establish your line for ever, * and preserve your throne for all generations.’”

The heavens bear witness to your wonders, O, * and to your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones;

For who in the skies can be compared to the ? * who is like the among the gods?

God is much to be feared in the council of the holy ones, * great and terrible to all those round about him.

Who is like you, God of hosts? * O mighty, your faithfulness is all around you.

You rule the raging of the sea * and still the surging of its waves.

You have crushed Rahab of the deep with a deadly wound; * you have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

Yours are the heavens; the earth also is yours; * you laid the foundations of the world and all that is in it.

You have made the north and the south; * Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your Name.

You have a mighty arm; * strong is your hand and high is your right hand.

Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne; * love and truth go before your face.

Happy are the people who know the festal shout! * they walk, O, in the light of your presence.

They rejoice daily in your Name; * they are jubilant in your righteousness.

For you are the glory of their strength, * and by your favor our might is exalted.
