11 1Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.
12 2Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. 3In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
