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

5The heavens bear witness to your wonders, O Lord, *
and to your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones;

6For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? *
who is like the Lord among the gods?

7God is much to be feared in the council of the holy ones, *
great and terrible to all those round about him.

8Who is like you, Lord God of hosts? *
O mighty Lord, your faithfulness is all around you.

9You rule the raging of the sea *
and still the surging of its waves.

10You have crushed Rahab of the deep with a deadly wound; *
you have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11Yours are the heavens; the earth also is yours; *
you laid the foundations of the world and all that is in it.

12You have made the north and the south; *
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your Name.

13You have a mighty arm; *
strong is your hand and high is your right hand.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne; *
love and truth go before your face.

15Happy are the people who know the festal shout! *
they walk, O Lord, in the light of your presence.

16They rejoice daily in your Name; *
they are jubilant in your righteousness.

17For you are the glory of their strength, *
and by your favor our might is exalted.
