Psalm 89:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰You crushed the monster Rahab,^[a]
and with your powerful arm
    you scattered your enemies.
¹¹The heavens and the earth
    belong to you.
And so does the world
    with all its people
because you created them
¹²    and everything else.^[b]

Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon
gladly praise you.
