8. Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
9. You rule over the surging sea;when its waves mount up, you still them.
10. You crushed Rahab like one of the slain;with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.
11. The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth;you founded the world and all that is in it.
12. You created the north and the south;Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.
13. Your arm is endowed with power;your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
14. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;love and faithfulness go before you.
15. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
16. They rejoice in your name all day long;they celebrate your righteousness.
17. For you are their glory and strength,and by your favour you exalt our horn.
18. Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord,our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19. Once you spoke in a vision,to your faithful people you said:‘I have bestowed strength on a warrior;I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20. I have found David my servant;with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
21. My hand will sustain him;surely my arm will strengthen him.
22. The enemy will not get the better of him;the wicked will not oppress him.
