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. [Selah 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 6 For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah ? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah , 7 A God H410 very terrible in the council of the holy ones , And to be feared above all them that are round about him ? 8 O Jehovah God אֵ֣ל 'el H410 of hosts, Who is a mighty one קְדֹשִׁ֣ים ke.do.Shim H6918 , like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round H5439 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. 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face. 15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, 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 favor our horn shall be exalted H7311 . 18 For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; 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 וְלִקְד֖וֹשׁ ve.lik.Do.osh H6918 that is mighty; I have exalted one H6918 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 from 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 lovingkindness 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 my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. 28 My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him .
