Psalms 89:17
15 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.
For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18 Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
