The Incomparable Power of the Creator

5

Let the heavens praise your wonders, ADONAI, your faithfulness in the assembly of the angels.

6

For who in the skies can be compared with ADONAI? Which of these gods can rival ADONAI,

7

a God dreaded in the great assembly of the holy ones and feared by all around him?

8

ADONAI Elohei-Tzva'ot! Who is as mighty as you, Yah? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

9

You control the raging of the sea; when its waves rear up, you calm them.

10

You crushed Rahav like a carcass; with your strong arm you scattered your foes.

11

The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; you founded the world and everything in it.

12

You created north and south; Tavor and Hermon take joy in your name.

13

Your arm is mighty, your hand is strong, your right hand is lifted high.

14

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; grace and truth attend you.

15

How happy are the people who know the joyful shout! They walk in the light of your presence, ADONAI.

16

They rejoice in your name all day and are lifted up by your righteousness,

17

for you yourself are the strength in which they glory. Our power grows by pleasing you,

18

for our shield comes from ADONAI -our king is from the Holy One of Isra'el.
