| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, “I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil. |

| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ |

| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29I will preserve an heir for him; his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations, |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands, |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating. |

| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!” Interlude |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire? |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence! |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen! |
