Thou rulest the power of the sea and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.

Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: with the arm of thy strength, thou hast scattered thy enemies.

Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth; the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded: the north and the sea thou hast created.

Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name: thy arm is with might.

Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted: justice and judgment are the preparation of thy Throne.

Mercy and truth shall go before thy face: blessed is the people that knoweth jubila

tion.

They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance, and in thy name they shall rejoice all the day: and in thy justice, they shall be exalted.

For thou art the glory of their strength and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.

For our protection is of the Lord: and of our King, the Holy One of Israel.

Then thou spokest in a vision to thy Saints, and saidst: "I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have "exalted one chosen out of my "people.
