I will asing of the lovingkindness
of the LORD
forever
; To all
generations
I will bmake
known
Your cfaithfulness
with my mouth
.
For I have said, " aLovingkindness
will be built
up forever
; In the heavens
You will establish
Your bfaithfulness
."
"I have made a covenant
with aMy chosen
; I have bsworn
to David
My servant
,
I will establish your aseed
forever
And build
up your bthrone
to all
generations
." 1Selah
.
The aheavens will praise
Your wonders
, O LORD
; Your faithfulness
also
bin the assembly
of the choly
ones
.
For awho in the skies
is comparable
to the LORD
? Who among the 1 bsons
of the mighty
is like
the LORD
,
A God agreatly
feared
in the council
of the bholy
ones
, And cawesome
above
all
those who are around
Him?
O LORD God
of hosts
, awho
is like
You, O mighty
1LORD
? Your faithfulness
also surrounds
You.
You rule the swelling
of the sea
; When its waves
rise
, You astill
them.
You Yourself crushed
1 aRahab
like one who is slain
; You bscattered
Your enemies
with 2Your mighty
arm
.
The aheavens are Yours, the earth
also
is Yours; The bworld
and 1all
it contains
, You have founded
them.
The anorth and the south
, You have created
them; bTabor
and cHermon
dshout
for joy
at Your name
.
You have 1a strong arm
; Your hand
is mighty
, Your aright
hand
is exalted
.
aRighteousness and justice
are the foundation
of Your throne
; bLovingkindness
and 1truth
go
before
You.
How blessed are the people
who know
the 1 ajoyful
sound
! O LORD
, they walk
in the blight
of Your countenance
.
In aYour name they rejoice
all
the day
, And by Your righteousness
they are exalted
.
For You are the glory of atheir strength
, And by Your favor
1our bhorn
is exalted
.
For our ashield belongs to the LORD
, 1And our king
to the bHoly
One
of Israel
.
1Once You spoke
in vision
to Your godly
2ones
, And said
, "I have 3given
help
to one who
is amighty
; I have exalted
one bchosen
from the people
.
"I have afound David
My servant
; With My holy
boil
I have anointed
him,
With whom aMy hand
will be established
; My arm
also
will bstrengthen
him.
"The enemy will not 1deceive
him, Nor
the 2 ason
of wickedness
afflict
him.
"But I shall acrush his adversaries
before
him, And strike
those who hate
him.
"My afaithfulness and My lovingkindness
will be with him, And in My name
his bhorn
will be exalted
.
"I shall also set his hand
aon the sea
And his right
hand
on the rivers
.
"He will cry to Me, `You are amy Father
, My God
, and the brock
of my salvation
.'
"I also shall make
him My afirstborn
, The bhighest
of the kings
of the earth
.
"My alovingkindness I will keep
for him forever
, And My bcovenant
shall be confirmed
to him.
"So I will establish his 1 adescendants
forever
And his bthrone
cas the days
of heaven
.
"If his sons
aforsake
My law
And do not walk
in My judgments
,
If they 1violate
My statutes
And do not keep
My commandments
,
Then I will punish their transgression
with the arod
And their iniquity
with stripes
.
"But I will not break off aMy lovingkindness
from him, Nor
deal
falsely
in My faithfulness
.
"My acovenant I will not 1violate
, Nor
will I balter
2the utterance
of My lips
.
" 1Once I have asworn
by My holiness
; I will not lie
to David
.
"His 1 adescendants shall endure
forever
And his bthrone
cas the sun
before
Me.
"It shall be established forever
alike the moon
, And the bwitness
in the sky
is faithful
." 1Selah
.
But You have acast off
and brejected
, You have been
full
of wrath
1against
Your canointed
.
You have aspurned the covenant
of Your servant
; You have bprofaned
chis crown
1in the dust
.
You have abroken down
all
his walls
; You have bbrought
his strongholds
to ruin
.
aAll who pass
along
the way
plunder
him; He has
become
a breproach
to his neighbors
.
You have aexalted the right
hand
of his adversaries
; You have bmade all
his enemies
rejoice
.
You also turn
back
the edge
of his sword
And have anot made him stand
in battle
.
You have made his 1 asplendor to cease
And cast
his throne
to the ground
.
You have ashortened the days
of his youth
; You have bcovered
him with shame
. Selah
.
aHow long
, O LORD
? Will You hide
Yourself forever
? Will Your bwrath
burn
like
fire
?
aRemember 1what
my span
of life
is; For what
bvanity
2You have created
all
the sons
of men
!
What man
can live
and not asee
death
? Can he bdeliver
his soul
from the 1power
of 2Sheol
? Selah
.
Where are Your former
lovingkindnesses
, O Lord
, Which You aswore
to David
in Your faithfulness
?
Remember, O Lord
, the areproach
of Your servants
; 1How I bear
in my bosom
the reproach of all
the many
peoples
,
With which aYour enemies
have reproached
, O LORD
, With which
they have reproached
the footsteps
of bYour anointed
.
aBlessed be the LORD
forever
! Amen
and Amen
.
