A God dreaded in the council of the holy ones, greater and more awesome than all those around him!
I prayed: “Lord, God of heaven, great and awesome God, you preserve your covenant of mercy with those who love you and keep your commandments.
From Zaphon the golden splendor comes, surrounding God’s awesome majesty!
If it be a question of strength, he is mighty; or of judgment, who will call him to account?
Great is our Lord, vast in power, with wisdom beyond measure.
Who is this king of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in war.
My very bones shall say, “O Lord, who is like you, Who rescue the afflicted from the powerful, the afflicted and needy from the despoiler?”
and justice, God, to the highest heaven. You have done great things; O God, who is your equal?
For a sun and shield is the Lord God, bestowing all grace and glory. The Lord withholds no good thing from those who walk without reproach.
Zaphon and Amanus you created; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
The heavens praise your marvels, Lord, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.
Now, cease scoffing, lest your bonds be tightened, For I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, the God of hosts, for the whole land.
Ah, my Lord God! You made the heavens and the earth with your great power and your outstretched arm; nothing is too difficult for you.
and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one.
Indeed, their “rock” is not like our Rock; our enemies are fools.
Therefore, do not be terrified by them, for the Lord, your God, who is in your midst, is a great and awesome God.
“The Lord is the God of gods. The Lord, the God of gods, knows and Israel shall know. If now we have acted out of rebellion or treachery against the Lord, our God, do not try to save us this day,
Why then have you disobeyed the Lord? You have pounced on the spoil, thus doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight.”
There is no Holy One like the Lord; there is no Rock like our God.
