⁵ The heavens^(E) praise your wonders, Lord,
your faithfulness too, in the assembly^(F) of the holy ones.
⁶ For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?^(G)
7 In the council^(H) of the holy ones^(I) God is greatly feared;
he is more awesome than all who surround him.^(J)
8 Who is like you,^(K) Lord God Almighty?^(L)
You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

⁹ You rule over the surging sea;
when its waves mount up, you still them.^(M)
10 You crushed Rahab^(N) like one of the slain;
with your strong arm you scattered^(O) your enemies.
¹¹ The heavens are yours,^(P) and yours also the earth;^(Q)
you founded the world and all that is in it.^(R)
12 You created the north and the south;
Tabor^(S) and Hermon^(T) sing for joy^(U) at your name.
¹³ Your arm is endowed with power;
your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.^(V)

¹⁴ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;^(W)
love and faithfulness go before you.^(X)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk^(Y) in the light^(Z) of your presence, Lord.
¹⁶ They rejoice in your name^(AA) all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.
¹⁷ For you are their glory and strength,^(AB)
and by your favor you exalt our horn.^[d](AC)
18 Indeed, our shield^[e](AD) belongs to the Lord,
our king^(AE) 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^(AF) my servant;^(AG)
with my sacred oil^(AH) I have anointed^(AI) him.
²¹ My hand will sustain him;
surely my arm will strengthen him.^(AJ)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;^(AK)
the wicked will not oppress^(AL) him.
²³ I will crush his foes before him^(AM)
and strike down his adversaries.^(AN)
24 My faithful love will be with him,^(AO)
and through my name his horn^[f] will be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers.^(AP)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,^(AQ)
my God, the Rock^(AR) my Savior.’^(AS)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,^(AT)
the most exalted^(AU) of the kings^(AV) of the earth.
²⁸ I will maintain my love to him forever,
and my covenant with him will never fail.^(AW)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as the heavens endure.^(AX)

¹⁵ Truth^(A) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.^(B)
16 He saw that there was no one,^(C)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;^(D)
so his own arm achieved salvation^(E) for him,
and his own righteousness^(F) sustained him.
¹⁷ He put on righteousness as his breastplate,^(G)
and the helmet^(H) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments^(I) of vengeance^(J)
and wrapped himself in zeal^(K) as in a cloak.
¹⁸ According to what they have done,
so will he repay^(L)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands^(M) their due.
¹⁹ From the west,^(N) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,^(O) they will revere his glory.^(P)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath^(Q) of the Lord drives along.^[a]

²⁰ “The Redeemer^(R) will come to Zion,^(S)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”^(T)
declares the Lord.

⁶ Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
being made in human likeness.^(F)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
to the glory of God the Father.
