I will sing of the LORD's unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. |
2
|
Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens. |
3
|
The LORD said, "I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him: |
4
|
'I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.' " Interlude |
5
|
All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness. |
6
|
For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD? |
7
|
The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne. |
8
|
O LORD God of Heaven's Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD? You are entirely faithful. |
9
|
You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves. |
10
|
You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. |
11
|
The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours-- you created it all. |
12
|
You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise your name. |
13
|
Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength. |
14
|
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants. |
15
|
Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. |
16
|
They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness. |
17
|
You are their glorious strength. It pleases you to make us strong. |
18
|
Yes, our protection comes from the LORD, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king. |
19
|
Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, "I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king. |
20
|
I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil. |
21
|
I will steady him with my hand; with my powerful arm I will make him strong. |
22
|
His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him. |
23
|
I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him. |
24
|
My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power. |
25
|
I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers. |
26
|
And he will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' |
27
|
I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth. |
28
|
I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end. |
29
|
I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven. |
30
|
But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations, |
31
|
if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands, |
32
|
then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating. |
33
|
But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him. |
34
|
No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said. |
35
|
I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie: |
36
|
His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun. |
37
|
It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!" Interlude |
38
|
But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king. |
39
|
You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust. |
40
|
You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him. |
41
|
Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors. |
42
|
You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice. |
43
|
You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle. |
44
|
You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne. |
45
|
You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude |
46
|
O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire? |
47
|
Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence! |
48
|
No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude |
49
|
Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge. |
50
|
Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people. |
51
|
Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes. |
52
|
Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen! A prayer of Moses, the man of God. |
