|
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. |
2
|
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. |
3
|
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant; |
4
|
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. {cf15i Selah} |
5
|
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD; thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. |
6
|
For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty is like unto the LORD, |
7
|
A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all them that are round about him? |
8
|
O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O JAH? and thy faithfulness is round about thee. |
9
|
Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. |
10
|
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength. |
11
|
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
12
|
The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name. |
13
|
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
14
|
Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne: mercy and truth go before thy face. |
15
|
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. |
16
|
In thy name do they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness are they exalted. |
17
|
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. |
18
|
For our shield belongeth unto the LORD; and our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
19
|
Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. |
20
|
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: |
21
|
With whom my hand shall be established; mine arm also shall strengthen him. |
22
|
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
23
|
And I will beat down his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him. |
24
|
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
25
|
I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers. |
26
|
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. |
27
|
I also will make him {cf15i my} firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. |
28
|
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. |
29
|
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. |
30
|
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; |
31
|
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
32
|
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. |
33
|
But my mercy will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
34
|
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
35
|
Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David; |
36
|
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. |
37
|
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and {cf15i as} the faithful witness in the sky. {cf15i Selah} |
38
|
But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. |
39
|
Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown {cf15i even} to the ground. |
40
|
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain. |
41
|
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours. |
42
|
Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. |
43
|
Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. |
44
|
Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. |
45
|
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. {cf15i Selah} |
46
|
How long, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? {cf15i how long} shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
47
|
O remember how short my time is: for what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! |
48
|
What man is he that shall live and not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? {cf15i Selah} |
49
|
Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? |
50
|
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom {cf15i the reproach of} all the mighty peoples: |
51
|
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
52
|
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
