10 You crushed Rahab(A) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered(B) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(C) and yours also the earth;(D)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.(E)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor(F) and Hermon(G) sing for joy(H) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(I)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(J)
    love and faithfulness go before you.(K)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk(L) in the light(M) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(N) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(O)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.[a](P)
18 Indeed, our shield[b](Q) belongs to the Lord,
    our king(R) 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(S) my servant;(T)
    with my sacred oil(U) I have anointed(V) him.
