Psalms 89:15
13 Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.
Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence.
16 They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.
17 For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
