O LORD, I will always sing of your constant love; I will proclaim your faithfulness forever. |
2
|
I know that your love will last for all time, that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky. |
3
|
You said, "I have made a covenant with the man I chose; I have promised my servant David, |
4
|
'A descendant of yours will always be king; I will preserve your dynasty forever.' " |
5
|
The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do; the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, LORD. |
6
|
No one in heaven is like you, LORD; none of the heavenly beings is your equal. |
7
|
You are feared in the council of the holy ones; they all stand in awe of you. |
8
|
LORD God Almighty, none is as mighty as you; in all things you are faithful, O LORD. |
9
|
You rule over the powerful sea; you calm its angry waves. |
10
|
You crushed the monster Rahab and killed it; with your mighty strength you defeated your enemies. |
11
|
Heaven is yours, the earth also; you made the world and everything in it. |
12
|
You created the north and the south; Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon sing to you for joy. |
13
|
How powerful you are! How great is your strength! |
14
|
Your kingdom is founded on righteousness and justice; love and faithfulness are shown in all you do. |
15
|
How happy are the people who worship you with songs, who live in the light of your kindness! |
16
|
Because of you they rejoice all day long, and they praise you for your goodness. |
17
|
You give us great victories; in your love you make us triumphant. |
18
|
You, O LORD, chose our protector; you, the Holy God of Israel, gave us our king. |
19
|
In a vision long ago you said to your faithful servants, "I have given help to a famous soldier; I have given the throne to one I chose from the people. |
20
|
I have made my servant David king by anointing him with holy oil. |
21
|
My strength will always be with him, my power will make him strong. |
22
|
His enemies will never succeed against him; the wicked will not defeat him. |
23
|
I will crush his foes and kill everyone who hates him. |
24
|
I will love him and be loyal to him; I will make him always victorious. |
25
|
I will extend his kingdom from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates River. |
26
|
He will say to me, 'You are my father and my God; you are my protector and savior.' |
27
|
I will make him my first-born son, the greatest of all kings. |
28
|
I will always keep my promise to him, and my covenant with him will last forever. |
29
|
His dynasty will be as permanent as the sky; a descendant of his will always be king. |
30
|
"But if his descendants disobey my law and do not live according to my commands, |
31
|
if they disregard my instructions and do not keep my commandments, |
32
|
then I will punish them for their sins; I will make them suffer for their wrongs. |
33
|
But I will not stop loving David or fail to keep my promise to him. |
34
|
I will not break my covenant with him or take back even one promise I made him. |
35
|
"Once and for all I have promised by my holy name: I will never lie to David. |
36
|
He will always have descendants, and I will watch over his kingdom as long as the sun shines. |
37
|
It will be as permanent as the moon, that faithful witness in the sky." |
38
|
But you are angry with your chosen king; you have deserted and rejected him. |
39
|
You have broken your covenant with your servant and thrown his crown in the dirt. |
40
|
You have torn down the walls of his city and left his forts in ruins. |
41
|
All who pass by steal his belongings; all his neighbors laugh at him. |
42
|
You have given the victory to his enemies; you have made them all happy. |
43
|
You have made his weapons useless and let him be defeated in battle. |
44
|
You have taken away his royal scepter and knocked his throne to the ground. |
45
|
You have made him old before his time and covered him with disgrace. |
46
|
LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire? |
47
|
Remember how short my life is; remember that you created all of us mortal! |
48
|
Who can live and never die? How can we humans keep ourselves from the grave? |
49
|
Lord, where are the former proofs of your love? Where are the promises you made to David? |
50
|
Don't forget how I, your servant, am insulted, how I endure all the curses of the heathen. |
51
|
Your enemies insult your chosen king, O LORD! They insult him wherever he goes. |
52
|
Praise the LORD forever! Amen! Amen! |
