1I will 1singH7891 of the graciousnessH2617 of the LordH3068 foreverH5769; To allH1755 generationsH1755 I will 2makeH3045 Your 3faithfulnessH530 knownH3045 with my mouthH6310.2For I have saidH559, “4GraciousnessH2617 will be builtH1129 upH1129 foreverH5769; In the heavensH8064 You will establishH3559 Your 5faithfulnessH530.”3“I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with 6My chosenH972; I have 7swornH7650 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732,4I will establishH3559 your 89descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769 And buildH1129 upH1129 your 10throneH3678 to allH1755 generationsH1755.” SelahH5542

5The 11heavensH8064 will praiseH3034 Your wondersH6382, LordH3068; Your faithfulnessH530 alsoH637 12in the assemblyH6951 of the 13holyH6918 onesH6918.6For 14whoH4310 in the skiesH7834 isH6186 comparableH6186 to the LordH3068?

Your faithfulnessH530 also surroundsH5439 You.9You ruleH4910 the surgingH1348 of the seaH3220; When its wavesH1530 riseH5375, You 22calmH7623 them.10You YourselfH859 crushedH1792 2324RahabH7293 like one who is slainH2491; You 25scatteredH6340 Your enemiesH340 with 26Your mightyH5797 armH2220.

11The 27heavensH8064 are Yours, the earthH776 alsoH637 is Yours; The 28worldH8398 and 29allH4393 it containsH4393, You have establishedH3245 them.12The 30northH6828 and the southH3225, You have createdH1254 them; 31TaborH8396 and 32HermonH2768 33shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 at Your nameH8034.13You have 34a strongH1369 armH2220; Your handH3027 isH5810 mightyH5810, Your 35rightH3225 handH3225 is exaltedH7311.1436RighteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941 are the foundationH4349 of Your throneH3678; 37MercyH2617 and 38truthH571 goH6923 beforeH6923H6440 You.15BlessedH835 are the peopleH5971 who knowH3045 the 3940joyfulH8643 soundH8643! LordH3068, they walkH1980 in the 41lightH216 of Your faceH6440.16In 42Your nameH8034 they rejoiceH1523 allH3605 the dayH3117, And by Your righteousnessH6666 they are exaltedH7311.17For You are the gloryH8597 of 43their strengthH5797, And by Your favorH7522 44our 45hornH7161 is exaltedH7311.18For our 46shieldH4043 belongs to the LordH3068, 47And our kingH4428 to the 48HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.

1949OnceH227 You spokeH1696 in visionH2377 to Your godlyH2623 50onesH2623, And saidH559, “I have 51givenH7737 helpH5828 to one who is 52mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one 53chosenH977 from the peopleH5971.20I have 54foundH4672 My servantH5650 DavidH1732; With My holyH6944 55oilH8081 I have anointedH4886 him,21With whomH834 56My handH3027 will be establishedH3559; My armH2220 alsoH637 will 57strengthenH553 him.22The enemyH340 will not 58deceiveH5378 him, NorH3808 will the 5960sonH1121 of wickednessH5767 afflictH6031 him.23But I will 61crushH3807 his adversariesH6862 beforeH4480H6440 him, And strikeH5062 those who hateH8130 him.24My 62faithfulnessH530 and My favorH2617 will be with him, And in My nameH8034 his 63hornH7161 will be exaltedH7311.25I will also placeH7760 his handH3027 64on the seaH3220, And his rightH3225 handH3225 on the riversH5104.26He will callH7121 to Me, ‘You are 65my FatherH1, My GodH410, and the 66rockH6697 of my salvationH3444.’27I will alsoH637 makeH5414 him My 67firstbornH1060, The 68highestH5945 of the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.28I will maintainH8104 My 69favorH2617 for him foreverH5769, And My 70covenantH1285 shall be confirmedH539 to him.29So I will establishH7760 his 7172descendantsH2233 foreverH5703, And his 73throneH3678 74as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.

30“IfH518 his sonsH1121 75abandonH5800 My LawH8451 And do not walkH1980 in My judgmentsH4941,31IfH518 they 76violateH2490 My statutesH2708 And do not keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687,32Then I will punishH6485 their wrongdoingH6588 with the 77rodH7626, And their guiltH5771 with 78afflictionsH5061.33But I will not 79withholdH6565 80My favorH2617 from him, NorH3808 dealH8266 falselyH8266 in My faithfulnessH530.34I will not 81violateH2490 My 82covenantH1285, NorH3808 will I 83alterH8132 84the utteranceH4161 of My lipsH8193.3585OnceH259 I have 86swornH7650 by My holinessH6944; I will not lieH3576 to DavidH1732.36His 8788descendantsH2233 shall endureH1961 foreverH5769, And his 89throneH3678 90as the sunH8121 beforeH5048 Me.37It shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5769 91like the moonH3394, And a 92witnessH5707 in the skyH7834 is faithfulH539.” SelahH5542

38But You have 93rejectedH2186 and 94refusedH3988, You have beenH5674 fullH5674 ofH5674 wrathH5674 95againstH5973 Your 96anointedH4899.39You have 9798repudiatedH5010 the covenantH1285 of Your servantH5650; You have 99profanedH2490 100his crownH5145 101in the dustH776.40You have 102brokenH6555 downH6555 allH3605 his wallsH1448; You have 103broughtH7760 his strongholdsH4013 to ruinH4288.41104AllH3605 who passH5674 alongH5674 the wayH1870 plunderH8155 him; He has becomeH1961 a 105disgraceH2781 to his neighborsH7934.42You have 106exaltedH7311 the rightH3225 handH3225 of his adversariesH6862; You have 107made allH3605 his enemiesH340 rejoiceH8055.43You alsoH637 turnH7725 backH7725 the edgeH6864 of his swordH2719, And have 108not made him standH6965 in battleH4421.44You have putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 to his 109110splendorH2892 And castH4048 his throneH3678 to the groundH776.45You have 111shortenedH7114 the daysH3117 of his youthH5934; You have 112coveredH5844 him with shameH955. SelahH5542

46113HowH4100 longH5704, LordH3068? Will You hideH5641 Yourself foreverH5331? Will Your 114wrathH2534 burnH1197 likeH3644 fireH784?47115RememberH2142 116whatH4100 my lifespanH2465 is; For whatH4100 117futilityH7723 118You have createdH1254 allH3605 the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!48WhatH4310 manH1397 can liveH2421 and not 119seeH7200 deathH4194? Can he 120saveH4422 his soulH5315 from the 121powerH3027 of 122SheolH7585? SelahH5542

49WhereH346 are Your formerH7223 actsH2617 ofH2617 favorH2617, LordH136, Which You 123sworeH7650 to DavidH1732 in Your faithfulnessH530?50RememberH2142, LordH136, the 124tauntH2781 against Your servantsH5650; 125How I carryH5375 in my heartH2436 the taunts of allH3605 the manyH7227 peoplesH5971,51With whichH834 126Your enemiesH340 have tauntedH2778, LordH3068, With whichH834 they have tauntedH2778 the footstepsH6119 of 127Your anointedH4899.
