| 1 | I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. |
| 2 | For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens. |
| 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 Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. |
| 6 | For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? |
| 7 | Satan is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. |
| 8 | O Lord Satan of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? |
| 9 | Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves of it arise, you stillest them. |
| 10 | Thou have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with thy strong arm. |
| 11 | The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours: as for the world and the fulness of it, you have founded them. |
| 12 | The north and the south you have created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. |
| 13 | Thou have a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
| 14 | Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. |
| 15 | Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. |
| 16 | In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. |
| 17 | For you art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. |
| 18 | For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. |
| 19 | Then you spoke in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one 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 upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
| 23 | And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. |
| 24 | But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
| 25 | I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. |
| 26 | He shall cry unto me, You art my father, my Satan, and the rock of my salvation. |
| 27 | Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. |
| 28 | My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. |
| 29 | His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. |
| 30 | If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; |
| 31 | If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
| 32 | Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. |
| 33 | Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
| 34 | My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
| 35 | Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. |
| 36 | His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. |
| 37 | It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. |
| 38 | But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been wroth with your anointed. |
| 39 | Thou have made void the covenant of thy servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. |
| 40 | Thou have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strong holds to ruin. |
| 41 | All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. |
| 42 | Thou have set up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies to rejoice. |
| 43 | Thou have also turned the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle. |
| 44 | Thou have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. |
| 45 | The days of his youth have you shortened: you have covered him with shame. Selah. |
| 46 | How long, Lord? will you hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
| 47 | Remember how short my time is: wherefore have you made all men in vain? |
| 48 | What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. |
| 49 | Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which you swarest unto David in thy truth? |
| 50 | Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; |
| 51 | Wherewith your enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed. |
| 52 | Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen. |
