1 A Psalm of instruction for Aetham the Israelite. I will sing of thy mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare thy truth with my mouth to all generations. 2 For thou hast said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy truth shall be established in the heavens. 3 I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware unto David my servant. 4 I will establish thy seed for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Pause. 5 The heavens shall declare thy wonders, O Lord; and thy truth in the assembly of the saints. 6 For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God? 7 God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him. 8 O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee. 9 Thou rulest the power of the sea; and thou calmest the tumult of its waves. 10 Thou has brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of thy power thou has scattered thine enemies. 11 The heavens are thine, and the earth is thine: thou hast founded the world, and the fullness of it. 12 Thou hast created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 13 Thine is the mighty arm: let thy hand be strengthened, let thy right hand be exalted. 14 Justice and judgment are the establishment of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 15 Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. 16 And in thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 17 For thou art the boast of their strength; and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted, 18 for our help is of the Lord; and of the Holy One of Israel, our king. 19 Then thou spokest in vision to thy children, and saidst, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people. 20 I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy mercy. 21 For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him.
