[1]
With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
[2] I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever.
You established the heavens.
Your faithfulness is in them.” [3] “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David, my servant,
[4] ‘I will establish your offspring forever,
and build up your throne to all generations.’ ”
Selah. [5] The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh,
your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
[6] For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh?
Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
[7] a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones,
to be feared above all those who are around him?
[8] Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you?
Yah, your faithfulness is around you.
[9] You rule the pride of the sea.
When its waves rise up, you calm them.
[10] You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain.
You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
[11] The heavens are yours.
The earth also is yours,
the world and its fullness.
You have founded them.
[12] You have created the north and the south.
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
[13] You have a mighty arm.
Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
[14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
[15] Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you.
They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
[16] In your name they rejoice all day.
In your righteousness, they are exalted.
[17] For you are the glory of their strength.
In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
[18] For our shield belongs to Yahweh,
our king to the Holy One of Israel. [19] Then you spoke in vision to your saints,
and said, “I have given strength to the warrior.
I have exalted a young man from the people.
[20] I have found David, my servant.
I have anointed him with my holy oil,
[21] with whom my hand shall be established.
My arm will also strengthen him.
[22] No enemy will tax him.
No wicked man will oppress him.
[23] I will beat down his adversaries before him,
and strike those who hate him.
[24] But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.
In my name, his horn will be exalted.
[25] I will set his hand also on the sea,
and his right hand on the rivers.
[26] He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
[27] I will also appoint him my firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
[28] I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more.
My covenant will stand firm with him.
[29] I will also make his offspring endure forever,
and his throne as the days of heaven.
[30] If his children forsake my law,
and don’t walk in my ordinances;
[31] if they break my statutes,
and don’t keep my commandments;
[32] then I will punish their sin with the rod,
and their iniquity with stripes.
[33] But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,
nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
[34] I will not break my covenant,
nor alter what my lips have uttered.
[35] Once I have sworn by my holiness,
I will not lie to David.
[36] His offspring will endure forever,
his throne like the sun before me.
[37] It will be established forever like the moon,
the faithful witness in the sky.”
Selah. [38] But you have rejected and spurned.
You have been angry with your anointed.
[39] You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
You have defiled his crown in the dust.
[40] You have broken down all his hedges.
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
[41] All who pass by the way rob him.
He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
[42] You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries.
You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
[43] Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword,
and haven’t supported him in battle.
[44] You have ended his splendor,
and thrown his throne down to the ground.
[45] You have shortened the days of his youth.
You have covered him with shame.
Selah. [46] How long, Yahweh?
Will you hide yourself forever?
Will your wrath burn like fire?
[47] Remember how short my time is,
for what vanity you have created all the children of men!
[48] What man is he who shall live and not see death,
who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?ⓘ
Selah. [49] Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses,
which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
[50] Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants,
how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
[51] With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh,
with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one. [52] Blessed be Yahweh forever more.
Amen, and Amen.

[10] Thou hast brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in pieces,H1792(PielPerf) as one that is slain;H2491 thou hast scatteredH6340(PielPerf) thine enemiesH341(QalActPtc) with thy strongH5797 arm.H2220 [11] The heavensH8064 [are] thine, the earthH776 also [is] thine: [as for] the worldH8398 and the fulnessH4393 thereof, thou hast foundedH3245(QalPerf) them. [12] The northH6828 and the southH3225 thou hast createdH1254(QalPerf) them: TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shall rejoiceH7442(PielImpf) in thy name.H8034 [13] Thou hast a mightyH1369 arm:H2220 strongH5810(QalImpf) is thy hand,H3027 [and] highH7311(QalImpf) is thy right hand.H3225 [14] JusticeH6664 and judgmentH4941 [are] the habitationH4349 of thy throne:H3678 mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923(PielImpf) before thy face.H6440 [15] BlessedH835 [is] the peopleH5971 that knowH3045(QalActPtc) the joyful sound:H8643 they shall walk,H1980(PielImpf) O Lord,H3068 in the lightH216 of thy countenance.H6440 [16] In thy nameH8034 shall they rejoiceH1523(QalImpf) all the day:H3117 and in thy righteousnessH6666 shall they be exalted.H7311(QalImpf) [17] For thou [art] the gloryH8597 of their strength:H5797 and in thy favourH7522 our hornH7161 shall be exalted.H7311(QalImpf/Qere) [18] For the LordH3068 [is] our defence;H4043 and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 [is] our king.H4428 [19] Then thou spakestH1696(PielPerf) in visionH2377 to thy holy one,H2623 and saidst,H559(QalImpf) I have laidH7737(PielPerf) helpH5828 upon [one that is] mighty;H1368 I have exaltedH7311(HiphPerf) [one] chosenH977(QalPasPtc) out of the people.H5971 [20] I have foundH4672(QalPerf) DavidH1732 my servant;H5650 with my holyH6944 oilH8081 have I anointedH4886(QalPerf) him: [21] With whom my handH3027 shall be established:H3559(NiphImpf) mine armH2220 also shall strengthenH553(PielImpf) him.

[24] But my faithfulnessH530 and my mercyH2617 [shall be] with him: and in my nameH8034 shall his hornH7161 be exalted.H7311(QalImpf) [25] I will setH7760(QalPerf) his handH3027 also in the sea,H3220 and his right handH3225 in the rivers.H5104 [26] He shall cryH7121(QalImpf) unto me, Thou [art] my father,H1 my God,H410 and the rockH6697 of my salvation.H3444 [27] Also I will makeH5414(QalImpf) him [my] firstborn,H1060 higherH5945 than the kingsH4428 of the earth.H776 [28] My mercyH2617 will I keepH8104(QalImpf) for him for evermore,H5769 and my covenantH1285 shall stand fastH539(NiphPtc) with him.

[37] It shall be establishedH3559(NiphImpf) for everH5769 as the moon,H3394 and [as] a faithfulH539(NiphPtc) witnessH5707 in heaven.H7834 Selah.H5542 [38] But thou hast cast offH2186(QalPerf) and abhorred,H3988(QalImpf) thou hast been wrothH5674(HithPerf) with thine anointed.H4899 [39] Thou hast made voidH5010(PielPerf) the covenantH1285 of thy servant:H5650 thou hast profanedH2490(PielPerf) his crownH5145 [by casting it] to the ground.H776 [40] Thou hast broken downH6555(QalPerf) all his hedges;H1448 thou hast broughtH7760(QalPerf) his strong holdsH4013 to ruin.H4288 [41] All that pass byH5674(QalActPtc) the wayH1870 spoilH8155(QalPerf) him: he is a reproachH2781 to his neighbours.H7934 [42] Thou hast set upH7311(HiphPerf) the right handH3225 of his adversaries;H6862 thou hast made all his enemiesH341(QalActPtc) to rejoice.H8055(HiphPerf) [43] Thou hast also turnedH7725(HiphImpf) the edgeH6697 of his sword,H2719 and hast not made him to standH6965(HiphPerf) in the battle.H4421 [44] Thou hast made his gloryH2892 to cease,H7673(HiphPerf) and castH4048 his throneH3678 downH4048(PielPerf) to the ground.H776 [45] The daysH3117 of his youthH5934 hast thou shortened:H7114(HiphPerf) thou hast coveredH5844(HiphPerf) him with shame.H955 Selah.H5542 [46] How long, Lord?H3068 wilt thou hideH5641(NiphImpf) thyself for ever?H5331 shall thy wrathH2534 burnH1197(QalImpf) like fire?H784 [47] RememberH2142(QalImpv) how shortH2465 my time is: wherefore hast thou madeH1254(QalPerf) all menH1121 in vain?H7723 [48] What manH1397 [is he that] liveth,H2421(QalImpf) and shall not seeH7200(QalImpf) death?H4194 shall he deliverH4422(PielImpf) his soulH5315 from the handH3027 of the grave?H7585 Selah.H5542 [49] Lord,H136 where [are] thy formerH7223 lovingkindnesses,H2617 [which] thou swarestH7650(NiphPerf) unto DavidH1732 in thy truth?H530 [50] Remember,H2142(QalImpv) Lord,H136 the reproachH2781 of thy servants;H5650 [how] I do bearH5375(QalInf) in my bosomH2436 [the reproach of] all the mightyH7227 people;H5971 [51] Wherewith thine enemiesH341(QalActPtc) have reproached,H2778(PielPerf) O Lord;H3068 wherewith they have reproachedH2778(PielPerf) the footstepsH6119 of thine anointed.H4899 [52] BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be] the LordH3068 for evermore.H5769 Amen,H543 and Amen.H543Byzantine Greek New Testament
