The heavens(A) praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly(B) of the holy ones.
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(C)
In the council(D) of the holy ones(E) God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.(F)
Who is like you,(G) Lord God Almighty?(H)
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

You rule over the surging sea;
    when its waves mount up, you still them.(I)
10 You crushed Rahab(J) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered(K) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(L) and yours also the earth;(M)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.(N)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor(O) and Hermon(P) sing for joy(Q) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(R)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(S)
    love and faithfulness go before you.(T)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk(U) in the light(V) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(W) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(X)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.[a](Y)
18 Indeed, our shield[b](Z) belongs to the Lord,
    our king(AA) to the Holy One of Israel.
