1123I will 4singH7891 of the graciousnessH2617 of the LordH3068 foreverH5769; To allH1755 generationsH1755 I will 5makeH3045 Your 6faithfulnessH530 knownH3045 with my mouthH6310.2For I have saidH559, “7GraciousnessH2617 will be builtH1129 upH1129 foreverH5769; In the heavensH8064 You will establishH3559 Your 8faithfulnessH530.”3“I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with 9My chosenH972; I have 10swornH7650 to My servantH5650 DavidH1732,4I will establishH3559 your 1112descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769 And buildH1129 upH1129 your 13throneH3678 to allH1755 generationsH1755.” SelahH5542

5The 14heavensH8064 will praiseH3034 Your wondersH6382, LordH3068; Your faithfulnessH530 alsoH637 15in the assemblyH6951 of the 16holyH6918 onesH6918.6For 17whoH4310 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 25calmH7623 them.10You YourselfH859 crushedH1792 2627RahabH7293 like one who is slainH2491; You 28scatteredH6340 Your enemiesH340 with 29Your mightyH5797 armH2220.

11The 30heavensH8064 are Yours, the earthH776 alsoH637 is Yours; The 31worldH8398 and 32allH4393 it containsH4393, You have establishedH3245 them.12The 33northH6828 and the southH3225, You have createdH1254 them; 34TaborH8396 and 35HermonH2768 36shoutH7442 forH7442 joyH7442 at Your nameH8034.13You have 37a strongH1369 armH2220; Your handH3027 isH5810 mightyH5810, Your 38rightH3225 handH3225 is exaltedH7311.1439RighteousnessH6664 and justiceH4941 are the foundationH4349 of Your throneH3678; 40MercyH2617 and 41truthH571 goH6923 beforeH6923H6440 You.15BlessedH835 are the peopleH5971 who knowH3045 the 4243joyfulH8643 soundH8643! LordH3068, they walkH1980 in the 44lightH216 of Your faceH6440.16In 45Your nameH8034 they rejoiceH1523 allH3605 the dayH3117, And by Your righteousnessH6666 they are exaltedH7311.17For You are the gloryH8597 of 46their strengthH5797, And by Your favorH7522 47our 48hornH7161 is exaltedH7311.18For our 49shieldH4043 belongs to the LordH3068, 50And our kingH4428 to the 51HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.

1952OnceH227 You spokeH1696 in visionH2377 to Your godlyH2623 53onesH2623, And saidH559, “I have 54givenH7737 helpH5828 to one who is 55mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one 56chosenH977 from the peopleH5971.20I have 57foundH4672 My servantH5650 DavidH1732; With My holyH6944 58oilH8081 I have anointedH4886 him,21With whomH834 59My handH3027 will be establishedH3559; My armH2220 alsoH637 will 60strengthenH553 him.22The enemyH340 will not 61deceiveH5378 him, NorH3808 will the 6263sonH1121 of wickednessH5767 afflictH6031 him.23But I will 64crushH3807 his adversariesH6862 beforeH4480H6440 him, And strikeH5062 those who hateH8130 him.24My 65faithfulnessH530 and My favorH2617 will be with him, And in My nameH8034 his 66hornH7161 will be exaltedH7311.25I will also placeH7760 his handH3027 67on the seaH3220, And his rightH3225 handH3225 on the riversH5104.26He will callH7121 to Me, ‘You are 68my FatherH1, My GodH410, and the 69rockH6697 of my salvationH3444.’27I will alsoH637 makeH5414 him My 70firstbornH1060, The 71highestH5945 of the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.28I will maintainH8104 My 72favorH2617 for him foreverH5769, And My 73covenantH1285 shall be confirmedH539 to him.29So I will establishH7760 his 7475descendantsH2233 foreverH5703, And his 76throneH3678 77as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.

30“IfH518 his sonsH1121 78abandonH5800 My LawH8451 And do not walkH1980 in My judgmentsH4941,31IfH518 they 79violateH2490 My statutesH2708 And do not keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687,32Then I will punishH6485 their wrongdoingH6588 with the 80rodH7626, And their guiltH5771 with 81afflictionsH5061.33But I will not 82withholdH6565 83My favorH2617 from him, NorH3808 dealH8266 falselyH8266 in My faithfulnessH530.34I will not 84violateH2490 My 85covenantH1285, NorH3808 will I 86alterH8132 87the utteranceH4161 of My lipsH8193.3588OnceH259 I have 89swornH7650 by My holinessH6944; I will not lieH3576 to DavidH1732.36His 9091descendantsH2233 shall endureH1961 foreverH5769, And his 92throneH3678 93as the sunH8121 beforeH5048 Me.37It shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5769 94like the moonH3394, And a 95witnessH5707 in the skyH7834 is faithfulH539.” SelahH5542
