| 1 |
I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. |
| 2 |
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens. |
| 3 |
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant: |
| 4 |
Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah |
| 5 |
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. |
| 6 |
For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah, |
| 7 |
A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him? |
| 8 |
O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee. |
| 9 |
Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. |
| 10 |
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength. |
| 11 |
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. |
| 12 |
The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name. |
| 13 |
Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
| 14 |
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face. |
| 15 |
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance. |
| 16 |
In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted. |
| 17 |
For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. |
| 18 |
For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah; And our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
| 19 |
Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints, And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. |
| 20 |
I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: |
| 21 |
With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. |
| 22 |
The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. |
| 23 |
And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him. |
| 24 |
But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
| 25 |
I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. |
| 26 |
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. |
| 27 |
I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. |
| 28 |
My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him. |
| 29 |
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven. |
| 30 |
If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances; |
| 31 |
If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments; |
| 32 |
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. |
| 33 |
But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. |
| 34 |
My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. |
| 35 |
Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: |
| 36 |
His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me. |
| 37 |
It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah |
| 38 |
But thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. |
| 39 |
Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. |
| 40 |
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin. |
| 41 |
All that pass by the way rob him: He is become a reproach to his neighbors. |
| 42 |
Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. |
| 43 |
Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword, And hast not made him to stand in the battle. |
| 44 |
Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground. |
| 45 |
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah |
| 46 |
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thy wrath burn like fire? |
| 47 |
Oh remember how short my time is: For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men! |
| 48 |
What man is he that shall live and not see death, That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah |
| 49 |
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness? |
| 50 |
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty peoples, |
| 51 |
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. |
| 52 |
Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Amen, and Amen. A Prayer of Moses the man of God. |
| 1 |
Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. |
| 2 |
Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day. |
| 3 |
Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. |
| 4 |
For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. |
| 5 |
For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. |
| 6 |
Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. |
| 7 |
Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. |
| 8 |
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts. |
| 9 |
Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth. |
| 10 |
Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity. |
| 11 |
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; |
| 12 |
Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy |
| 13 |
Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth. |
| 1 |
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings. |
| 2 |
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works. |
| 3 |
Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. |
| 4 |
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore. |
| 5 |
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, |
| 6 |
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
| 7 |
He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth. |
| 8 |
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, |
| 9 |
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac, |
| 10 |
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
| 11 |
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; |
| 12 |
When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it. |
| 13 |
And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people. |
| 14 |
He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, |
| 15 |
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm. |
| 16 |
And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread. |
| 17 |
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant: |
| 18 |
His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron, |
| 19 |
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him. |
| 20 |
The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. |
| 21 |
He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance; |
| 22 |
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom. |
| 23 |
Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
| 24 |
And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries. |
| 25 |
He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants. |
| 26 |
He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen. |
| 27 |
They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham. |
| 28 |
He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words. |
| 29 |
He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish. |
| 30 |
Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings. |
| 31 |
He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders. |
| 32 |
He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. |
| 33 |
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders. |
| 34 |
He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number, |
| 35 |
And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground. |
| 36 |
He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength. |
| 37 |
And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes. |
| 38 |
Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them. |
| 39 |
He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night. |
| 40 |
They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
| 41 |
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river. |
| 42 |
For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant. |
| 43 |
And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing. |
| 44 |
And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession: |
| 45 |
That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. |
| 1 |
Jehovah, remember for David All his affliction; |
| 2 |
How he sware unto Jehovah, And vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob: |
| 3 |
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, Nor go up into my bed; |
| 4 |
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, Or slumber to mine eyelids; |
| 5 |
Until I find out a place for Jehovah, A tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| 6 |
Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah: We found it in the field of the wood. |
| 7 |
We will go into his tabernacles; We will worship at his footstool. |
| 8 |
Arise, O Jehovah, into thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of thy strength. |
| 9 |
Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy. |
| 10 |
For thy servant David's sake Turn not away the face of thine anointed. |
| 11 |
Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth; He will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. |
| 12 |
If thy children will keep my covenant And my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore. |
| 13 |
For Jehovah hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. |
| 14 |
This is my resting-place for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. |
| 15 |
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. |
| 16 |
Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. |
| 17 |
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. |
| 18 |
His enemies will I clothe with shame; But upon himself shall his crown flourish. A Song of Ascents; of David. |
