26He shall cry untomeוְשַׂמְתִּ֣יve.sam.TiH7760, Thou art my father, myGodיָד֑וֹya.DoH3027, and the rock of my salvation.

27I also willmakeיִ֭קְרָאֵנִיYik.ra.'e.niH7121him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29His seed also will I make toendureH5769foreverלְ֭עוֹלָ֗םle.'o.LamH5769, and his throne as thedaysH5769of heaven.

30Ifוְשַׂמְתִּ֣יve.sam.TiH7760hischildrenזַרְע֑וֹzar.'OH2233forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31IfH518they break my statutes, and keepnotH3808my commandments;

32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33But my mercy will I not utterlytakeH6485from him, norsufferH6485my faithfulness to fail.

34My covenant will InotH3808break,norH3808alter the thing that isgoneH3808out of my lips.

35Once have I sworn by my holiness; I willnotH3808lie unto David;

36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37It shall be established foreverH5769as the moon, and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

38But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

39Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.

41Allכָל־khol-H3605that pass by thewayכָּל־kol-H3605spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hastmadeהָיָ֥הha.YahH1961allH3605his enemies to rejoice.

43Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast notmadeהִ֝שְׂמַ֗חְתָּhis.Mach.taH8055him to stand in the battle.

44Thou hastmadeתָּ֭שִׁיבTa.shivH7725his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah

46HowlongH3117, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? howlongH3117shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47O rememberhowH4100short my time is: forwhatH4100vanity hast thou createdallעַד־'ad-H5704the children of men!

48WhatH4100manאָדָֽם׃'a.DamH120is he that shall live andnotבְּנֵי־be.nei-H1121see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
