1 I will sing of the mercies of Jehovah forever; with my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.

2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the heavens.

3 I have made a covenant with My elect, I have sworn unto David My servant:

4 Your seed I will establish forever, and build up your throne from generation to generation. Selah

5 And the heavens shall confess Your wonders, O Jehovah; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.

6 For who in the clouds can be compared to Jehovah? Who among the sons of the gods can be likened unto Jehovah?

7 The Mighty God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all those around Him.

8 O Jehovah the God of Hosts, who is mighty like You, O YAH? Your faithfulness is round about You.

9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, You still them.

10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain; You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; You have founded the world and all its fullness.

12 The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.

13 You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, and exalted is Your right hand.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face.

15 Blessed are the people who know the shouts of joy! They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance.

16 In Your name they rejoice all day long, and in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the glory of their strength, and in Your favor our horn is exalted.

18 For Jehovah is our shield, and our King, the Holy One of Israel.

19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: I have placed help upon a mighty one; I have exalted a chosen one out of the people.

20 I have found David, My servant; with My holy oil I have anointed him;

21 with whom My hand shall be established; My arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not exact usury upon him, nor the son of injustice afflict him.

23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.

24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, and in My name his horn shall be exalted.

25 I will also set his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers.

26 He shall call unto Me, You are my Father, my Mighty God, and the Rock of my salvation.

27 And I will make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy I will keep for him forever, and My covenant shall be established with him.

29 His seed also I have ordained eternally, and His throne as the days of Heaven.

30 If his sons forsake My Law and do not walk in My justice,

31 if they break My Statutes and do not keep My Commandments,

32 then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their perversities with strokes.

33 Nevertheless in My lovingkindness I will not crush him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

34 My covenant I will not break, nor alter what has gone forth out of My lips.

35 Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:

36 His seed is forever, and his throne as the sun before Me;

37 it shall be established forever like the moon, a faithful witness in the clouds. Selah

38 But You have cast off and rejected, You have passed over Your anointed.

39 You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have dishonored his crown on the ground.

40 You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way plunder him; he is a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his oppressors; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and have not sustained him in the battle.

44 You have made his glory to cease, and hurled his throne down to the ground.

45 The days of his youth You have shortened; You have covered him with shame. Selah

46 How long, Jehovah? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your fury burn like fire?

47 Remember the time of life; why have you created the sons of men for vanity?

48 What strong man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

49 O Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses which You swore unto David in Your faithfulness?

50 Remember, O Lord, the reproaches of Your Servant, which I bear in My bosom, of all the many peoples,

51 with which Your enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, with which they have reproached the heel of Your Anointed.

52 Blessed is Jehovah forevermore! Amen and Amen.
