Psalms 89:23

Compare all

21 ^aWith whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not¹ outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.

24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

25 Also I will ^aset his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
