2For I have said <0559> (8804)_, Mercy <02617> shall be built up <01129> (8735) for ever <05769>_: thy faithfulness <0530> shalt thou establish <03559> (8686) in the very heavens <08064>_.
3I have made <03772> (8804) a covenant <01285> with my chosen <0972>_, I have sworn <07650> (8738) unto David <01732> my servant <05650>_,
4Thy seed <02233> will I establish <03559> (8686) for <05704> ever <05769>_, and build up <01129> (8804) thy throne <03678> to all <01755> generations <01755>_. Selah <05542>_.
5And the heavens <08064> shall praise <03034> (8686) thy wonders <06382>_, O LORD <03068>_: thy faithfulness <0530> also in the congregation <06951> of the saints <06918>_.
6For who in the heaven <07834> can be compared <06186> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>_? [who] among the sons <01121> of the mighty <0410> can be likened <01819> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>_?
7God <0410> is greatly <07227> to be feared <06206> (8737) in the assembly <05475> of the saints <06918>_, and to be had in reverence <03372> (8737) of all [them that are] about <05439> him.
8O LORD <03068> God <0430> of hosts <06635>_, who [is] a strong <02626> LORD <03050> like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness <0530> round about <05439> thee?
9Thou rulest <04910> (8802) the raging <01348> of the sea <03220>_: when the waves <01530> thereof arise <07721> (8800)_, thou stillest <07623> (8762) them.
10Thou hast broken <01792> (0) Rahab <07294> in pieces <01792> (8765)_, as one that is slain <02491>_; thou hast scattered <06340> (8765) thine enemies <0341> (8802) with thy strong <05797> arm <02220>_. {Rahab: or, Egypt} {thy...: Heb. the arm of thy strength}
11The heavens <08064> [are] thine, the earth <0776> also [is] thine: [as for] the world <08398> and the fulness <04393> thereof, thou hast founded <03245> (8804) them. {the fulness...: or, all it containeth}
12The north <06828> and the south <03225> thou hast created <01254> (8804) them: Tabor <08396> and Hermon <02768> shall rejoice <07442> (8762) in thy name <08034>_.
13Thou hast a mighty <01369> arm <02220>_: strong <05810> (8799) is thy hand <03027>_, [and] high <07311> (8799) is thy right hand <03225>_. {a...: Heb. an arm with might}
14Justice <06664> and judgment <04941> [are] the habitation <04349> of thy throne <03678>_: mercy <02617> and truth <0571> shall go <06923> (8762) before thy face <06440>_. {habitation: or, establishment}
15Blessed <0835> [is] the people <05971> that know <03045> (8802) the joyful sound <08643>_: they shall walk <01980> (8762)_, O LORD <03068>_, in the light <0216> of thy countenance <06440>_.
16In thy name <08034> shall they rejoice <01523> (8799) all the day <03117>_: and in thy righteousness <06666> shall they be exalted <07311> (8799)_.
17For thou [art] the glory <08597> of their strength <05797>_: and in thy favour <07522> our horn <07161> shall be exalted <07311> (8799) (8675) <07311> (8686)_.
18For the LORD <03068> [is] our defence <04043>_; and the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478> [is] our king <04428>_. {the LORD...: or, our shield is of the LORD, and our king is of the Holy One of Israel}
19Then thou spakest <01696> (8765) in vision <02377> to thy holy one <02623>_, and saidst <0559> (8799)_, I have laid <07737> (8765) help <05828> upon [one that is] mighty <01368>_; I have exalted <07311> (8689) [one] chosen <0977> (8803) out of the people <05971>_.
20I have found <04672> (8804) David <01732> my servant <05650>_; with my holy <06944> oil <08081> have I anointed <04886> (8804) him:
21With whom my hand <03027> shall be established <03559> (8735)_: mine arm <02220> also shall strengthen <0553> (8762) him.
22The enemy <0341> (8802) shall not exact <05378> (8686) upon him; nor the son <01121> of wickedness <05766> afflict <06031> (8762) him.
23And I will beat down <03807> (8804) his foes <06862> before his face <06440>_, and plague <05062> (8799) them that hate <08130> (8764) him.
24But my faithfulness <0530> and my mercy <02617> [shall be] with him: and in my name <08034> shall his horn <07161> be exalted <07311> (8799)_.
25I will set <07760> (8804) his hand <03027> also in the sea <03220>_, and his right hand <03225> in the rivers <05104>_.
26He shall cry <07121> (8799) unto me, Thou [art] my father <01>_, my God <0410>_, and the rock <06697> of my salvation <03444>_.
27Also I will make <05414> (8799) him [my] firstborn <01060>_, higher <05945> than the kings <04428> of the earth <0776>_.
28My mercy <02617> will I keep <08104> (8799) for him for evermore <05769>_, and my covenant <01285> shall stand fast <0539> (8737) with him.
29His seed <02233> also will I make <07760> (8804) [to endure] for ever <05703>_, and his throne <03678> as the days <03117> of heaven <08064>_.
30If his children <01121> forsake <05800> (8799) my law <08451>_, and walk <03212> (8799) not in my judgments <04941>_;
31If they break <02490> (8762) my statutes <02708>_, and keep <08104> (8799) not my commandments <04687>_; {break: Heb. profane}
32Then will I visit <06485> (8804) their transgression <06588> with the rod <07626>_, and their iniquity <05771> with stripes <05061>_.
33Nevertheless my lovingkindness <02617> will I not utterly take <06331> (8686) from him, nor suffer my faithfulness <0530> to fail <08266> (8762)_. {will...: Heb. I will not make void from him} {to fall: Heb. to lie}
34My covenant <01285> will I not break <02490> (8762)_, nor alter <08138> (8762) the thing that is gone out <04161> of my lips <08193>_.
35Once <0259> have I sworn <07650> (8738) by my holiness <06944> that I will not lie <03576> (8762) unto David <01732>_. {that...: Heb. if I lie}
36His seed <02233> shall endure for ever <05769>_, and his throne <03678> as the sun <08121> before me.
37It shall be established <03559> (8735) for ever <05769> as the moon <03394>_, and [as] a faithful <0539> (8737) witness <05707> in heaven <07834>_. Selah <05542>_.
38But thou hast cast off <02186> (8804) and abhorred <03988> (8799)_, thou hast been wroth <05674> (8694) with thine anointed <04899>_.
39Thou hast made void <05010> (8765) the covenant <01285> of thy servant <05650>_: thou hast profaned <02490> (8765) his crown <05145> [by casting it] to the ground <0776>_.
40Thou hast broken down <06555> (8804) all his hedges <01448>_; thou hast brought <07760> (8804) his strong holds <04013> to ruin <04288>_.
41All that pass by <05674> (8802) the way <01870> spoil <08155> (8804) him: he is a reproach <02781> to his neighbours <07934>_.
42Thou hast set up <07311> (8689) the right hand <03225> of his adversaries <06862>_; thou hast made all his enemies <0341> (8802) to rejoice <08055> (8689)_.
43Thou hast also turned <07725> (8686) the edge <06697> of his sword <02719>_, and hast not made him to stand <06965> (8689) in the battle <04421>_.
44Thou hast made his glory <02892> to cease <07673> (8689)_, and cast <04048> (0) his throne <03678> down <04048> (8765) to the ground <0776>_. {glory: Heb. brightness}
45The days <03117> of his youth <05934> hast thou shortened <07114> (8689)_: thou hast covered <05844> (8689) him with shame <0955>_. Selah <05542>_.
46How long, LORD <03068>_? wilt thou hide <05641> (8735) thyself for ever <05331>_? shall thy wrath <02534> burn <01197> (8799) like fire <0784>_?
47Remember <02142> (8798) how short <02465> my time is: wherefore hast thou made <01254> (8804) all men <01121> <0120> in vain <07723>_?
48What man <01397> [is he that] liveth <02421> (8799)_, and shall not see <07200> (8799) death <04194>_? shall he deliver <04422> (8762) his soul <05315> from the hand <03027> of the grave <07585>_? Selah <05542>_.
49Lord <0136>_, where [are] thy former <07223> lovingkindnesses <02617>_, [which] thou swarest <07650> (8738) unto David <01732> in thy truth <0530>_?
50Remember <02142> (8798)_, Lord <0136>_, the reproach <02781> of thy servants <05650>_; [how] I do bear <05375> (8800) in my bosom <02436> [the reproach of] all the mighty <07227> people <05971>_;
51Wherewith thine enemies <0341> (8802) have reproached <02778> (8765)_, O LORD <03068>_; wherewith they have reproached <02778> (8765) the footsteps <06119> of thine anointed <04899>_.
52Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] the LORD <03068> for evermore <05769>_. Amen <0543>_, and Amen <0543>_.
