| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.” |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: “I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. |
