89.6 :For who in the skies can be compared unto the ,
 * Who among the sons of might can be likened unto the ,
 * A God dreaded in the great council of the holy ones,
 * And feared of all them that are about Him?
 * O God of hosts,
 * Who is a mighty one, like unto Thee, O ?
 * And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.
 * Thou rulest the proud swelling of the sea;
 * When the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.
 * Thou didst crush Rahab, as one that is slain;
 * Thou didst scattered Thine enemies with the arm of Thy strength.
 * Thine are the heavens, Thine also the earth;
 * The world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.
 * The north and the south, Thou hast created them;
 * Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Thy name.
 * Thine is an arm with might;
 * Strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
 * Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne;
 * Mercy and truth go before Thee.
 * Happy is the people that know the joyful shout;
 * They walk, O, in the light of Thy countenance.
 * In Thy name do they rejoice all the day;
 * And through Thy righteousness are they exalted.
 * For Thou art the glory of their strength;
 * And in Thy favour our horn is exalted.
 * For of the is our shield;
 * And the Holy One of Israel is our king.


 * Then Thou spokest in vision to Thy godly ones,
 * And saidst: 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty;
 * I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
 * I have found David My servant;
 * With My holy oil have I anointed him;
 * With whom My hand shall be established;
 * Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
 * The enemy shall not exact from him;
 * Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
 * And I will beat to pieces his adversaries before him,
 * And smite them that hate him.
 * But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him;
 * And through My name shall his horn be exalted.
 * I will set his hand also on the sea,
 * And his right hand on the rivers.
 * He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father,
 * My God, and the rock of my salvation.
 * I also will appoint him first-born,
 * The highest of the kings of the earth.
 * For ever will I keep for him My mercy,
 * And My covenant shall stand fast with him.
 * His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
 * And his throne as the days of heaven.
 * If his children forsake My law,
 * And walk not in Mine ordinances;
 * If they profane My statutes,
 * And keep not My commandments;
 * Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
