9 (f) O Lord God of hosts,* who is like unto thee: thy truth, most mighty { Lord, is on eve-ry side.

10 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: thou stillest the waves there- of when they a-rise.

11 Thou hast subdued Egypt, and de-stroyed it: thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad* { with thy migh-ty arm.

12 The heavens are thine,* the earth { also is thine: thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that there-in is.

13 Thou hast made the north and the south: Tabor and Hermon shall re-joice in thy Name. 14 Thou hast a migh-ty arm: strong is thy hand,* and { high is thy right hand.

15 Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat: mercy and truth shall { go before thy face.

16 (f) Blessed is the people, O Lord,* that can re-joice in thee: they shall walk in the light of thy coun-te-nance.

17 (f) Their delight shall be daily in thy Name: and in thy righteousness shall they make their boast.

THE Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand,* until I make thine { ene-mies thy foot-stool.

2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Si-on: be thou ruler, even in the midst a- { mong thine ene-mies.

3 In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free-will offerings* with an holy } wor-ship: the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morn-ing.

4 The Lord sware, and will not re- } pent: Thou art a Priest for ever* after the order of { Mel-chise-dech.

5 The Lord upon thy right hand: shall wound even kings in the day of his wrath.
