1I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.→2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.→3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,→4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.→5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.→6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?→7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.→8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?→9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.→10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.→11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.→12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.→13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.→14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.→15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.→16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.→17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.→18For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.→19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.→20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:→21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.→22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.→23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.→24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.→25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.→26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.→27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.→28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.→29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.→30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;→31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;→32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.→33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.→34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.→35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.→36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.→37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.→38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.→39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.→40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.→41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.→42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.→43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.→44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.→45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.→46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?→47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?→48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.→49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?→50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;→51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.→52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.→
