1I will singH7891 of the loving devotionH2617 of the LORDH3068 foreverH5769;with my mouthH6310 I will proclaimH3045 Your faithfulnessH530 to allH1755 generationsH1755.2ForH3588 I have saidH559, “Loving devotionH2617 is built upH1129 foreverH5769;in the heavensH8064 You establishH3559 Your faithfulnessH530.”

3You said, “I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with My chosen oneH972,I have swornH7650 to DavidH1732 My servantH5650:4‘I will establishH3559 your offspringH2233 foreverH5704 H5769and build upH1129 your throneH3678 for all generationsH1755.’”SelahH55425The heavensH8064 praiseH3034 Your wondersH6382, O LORDH3068—Your faithfulnessH530 as wellH637—in the assemblyH6951 of the holy onesH6918.6ForH3588 whoH4310 in the skiesH7834 can compareH6186 with the LORDH3068?Who among the heavenly beingsH1121 H410 1 is likeH1819 the LORDH3068?7In the councilH5475 of the holy onesH6918, GodH410 is greatlyH7227 fearedH6206,and awesomeH3372 aboveH5921 allH3605 who surround HimH5439.

8O LORDH3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635, whoH4310 is like YouH3644?O mightyH2626 LORDH3050, Your faithfulnessH530 surrounds YouH5439.9YouH859 ruleH4910 the ragingH1348 seaH3220;when its wavesH1530 mount upH5375, YouH859 still themH7623.10YouH859 crushedH1792 RahabH7294 like a carcassH2491;You scatteredH6340 Your enemiesH341 with Your mightyH5797 armH2220.11The heavensH8064 are Yours, and alsoH637 the earthH776.The earthH8398 and its fullnessH4393 YouH859 foundedH3245.12NorthH6828 and southH3225 YouH859 createdH1254;TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shout for joyH7442 at Your nameH8034.

13MightyH1369 is YourH5973 armH2220; strong isH5810 Your handH3027.Your right handH3225 is exaltedH7311.14RighteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941 are the foundationH4349 of Your throneH3678;loving devotionH2617 and faithfulnessH571 goH6923 before YouH6440.

15BlessedH835 are thoseH5971 who knowH3045 the joyful soundH8643,who walkH1980, O LORDH3068, in the lightH216 of Your presenceH6440.16They rejoiceH1523 in Your nameH8034 all day longH3605 H3117,and in Your righteousnessH6666 they exultH7311.17ForH3588 YouH859 are the gloryH8597 of their strengthH5797,and by Your favorH7522 our hornH7161 is exaltedH7311.18SurelyH3588 our shieldH4043 belongs to the LORDH3068,and our kingH4428 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

19You onceH227 spokeH1696 in a visionH2377;to Your godly onesH2623 You saidH559,“I have bestowedH7737 helpH5828 onH5921 a warriorH1368;I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH977 from the peopleH5971.20I have foundH4672 My servantH5650 DavidH1732;with My sacredH6944 oilH8081 I have anointed himH4886.21 My handH3027 will sustain himH3559 ;surelyH637 My armH2220 will strengthen himH553.

22NoH3808 enemyH341 will exact tributeH5377;noH3808 wickedH5766 manH1121 will oppress himH6031.23I will crushH3807 his foesH6862 before himH6440and strike downH5062 those who hate himH8130.24My faithfulnessH530 and loving devotionH2617 will be with himH5973,and through My nameH8034 his hornH7161 will be exaltedH7311.25I will setH7760 his handH3027 over the seaH3220,and his right handH3225 upon the riversH5104.26HeH1931 will call to MeH7121, ‘YouH859 are my FatherH1,my GodH410, the RockH6697 of my salvationH3444.’

27IH589 will indeedH637 appoint him asH5414 My firstbornH1060,the highestH5945 of the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.28I will foreverH5769 preserveH8104 My loving devotion for himH2617,and My covenantH1285 with him will stand fastH539.29I will establishH7760 his line foreverH2233 H5703,his throneH3678 as long asH3117 the heavens endureH8064.

30IfH518 his sonsH1121 forsakeH5800 My lawH8451and do notH3808 walkH1980 in My judgmentsH4941,31ifH518 they violateH2490 My statutesH2708and failH3808 to keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687,32I will attend toH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the rodH7626,and to their iniquityH5771 with stripesH5061.

33But I will notH3808 withdrawH6331 My loving devotionH2617 from himH5973,nor everH3808 betrayH8266 My faithfulnessH530.34I will notH3808 violateH2490 My covenantH1285orH3808 alterH8138 the utteranceH4161 of My lipsH8193.35Once and for allH259 I have swornH7650 by My holinessH6944—I will notH518 lieH3576 to DavidH1732—36his offspringH2233 shall endureH1961 foreverH5769,and his throneH3678 before MeH5048 like the sunH8121,37like the moonH3394, establishedH3559 foreverH5769,a faithfulH539 witnessH5707 in the skyH7834.”SelahH554238Now, however, YouH859 have spurnedH2186 and rejected himH3988;You are enragedH5674 byH5973 Your anointed oneH4899.39You have renouncedH5010 the covenantH1285 with Your servantH5650and sulliedH2490 his crownH5145 in the dustH776.40You have broken downH6555 allH3605 his wallsH1448;You have reducedH7760 his strongholdsH4013 to rubbleH4288.41AllH3605 who pass byH5674 H1870 plunder himH8155;he has becomeH1961 a reproachH2781 to his neighborsH7934.

42You have exaltedH7311 the right handH3225 of his foesH6862;You have made allH3605 his enemiesH341 rejoiceH8055.43You haveH637 bentH7725 the edgeH6697 of his swordH2719and have notH3808 sustained himH6965 in battleH4421.44You have endedH7673 his splendorH2892and castH4048 his throneH3678 to the groundH776.45You have cut shortH7114 the daysH3117 of his youthH5934;You have coveredH5844 himH5921 with shameH955.SelahH554246How longH5704 H4100, O LORDH3068?Will You hide YourselfH5641 foreverH5331?Will Your wrathH2534 keep burningH1197 likeH3644 fireH784?47RememberH2142 the briefnessH4100 H2465 of my lifespanH589!ForH5921 whatH4100 futilityH7723 You have createdH1254 allH3605 menH1121 H120!48WhatH4310 manH1397 can liveH2421 and neverH3808 seeH7200 deathH4194?Can he deliverH4422 his soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of SheolH7585?SelahH554249WhereH346, O LordH136, is Your loving devotionH2617 of oldH7223,which You faithfullyH530 sworeH7650 to DavidH1732?50RememberH2142, O LordH136, the reproachH2781 of Your servantsH5650,which I bearH5375 in my heartH2436 from soH3605 manyH7227 peopleH5971—51howH834 Your enemiesH341 have tauntedH2778, O LORDH3068,and have mockedH2778 every stepH6119 of Your anointed oneH4899!
