8. O Lord God of Hosts, who is a mighty Lord like You,with Your faithfulness all around You?
9. You rule the raging of the sea;when the waves arise, You still them.
10. You crushed Rahab like a corpse;You scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm.
11. The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours;the world and all that is in it, You have founded them.
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.
24. My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,and in My name his horn shall be exalted.
