Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth, 2For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.' 3I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant: 4`Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah. 5and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also is in an assembly of holy ones. 6For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty? 7God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him. 8O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who is like Thee--a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee. 9Thou art ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them. 10Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies. 11Thine are the heavens--the earth also is Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them. 12North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing. 13Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand--high Thy right hand. 14Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face. 15O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually. 16In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted, 17For the beauty of their strength art Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted, 18For of Jehovah is our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king. 19Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people, 20I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him. 21With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him. 22An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not. 23And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague, 24And My faithfulness and kindness are with him, And in My name is his horn exalted. 25And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand. 26He proclaimeth me: `Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.' 27I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth. 28To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant is stedfast with him. 29And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens. 30If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk; 31If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep, 32I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity, 33And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness. 34I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not. 35Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David, 36His seed is to the age, And his throne is as the sun before Me, 37As the moon it is established--to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah. 38And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed, 39Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown, 40Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin. 41Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours, 42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice. 43Also--Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle, 44Hast caused him to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down. 45Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over with shame. Selah. 46Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire? 47Remember, I pray Thee, what is life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men? 48Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah. 49Where are Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness, 50Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples, 51Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed. 52Blessed is Jehovah to the age.
