Psalms 89:7

FearGod's holiness

5 The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD— Your faithfulness as well— in the assembly of the holy ones.

6 For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.

8 O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.

9 You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.
