12. The north and the south, You have created them;Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.
13. You have a mighty arm,and strong is Your hand, and victorious is Your right hand.
14. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;mercy and truth shall go before Your presence.
15. Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout.They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your presence.
16. In Your name they rejoice all the day,and in Your righteousness they shall be exalted.
17. For You are the beauty of their strength;by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18. For the Lord is our shield of defense,and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19. Long ago You spoke in a visionto Your godly one and said:“I have given help to one who is mighty;I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20. I have found David, My servant;with My holy oil I have anointed him:
21. By whom My hand shall be established;My arm also shall strengthen him.
22. The enemy shall not take tribute from him,nor the wicked humiliate him.
23. I will beat down his foes before himand strike down those who hate him.
