Psalm 89:11-18
The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name. You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
All creation declares Your Name, all creation declares Your Power, All creation declares You! But Your people do not always sense and appreciate that the very definitions of such qualities as righteousness, justice, love, grace and mercy are You. For You reveal Yourself as Righteousness, as Justice, as Love, as Grace, and as Mercy. Without You, we have no concept of the content of these standards.
