KJV ¹ I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

KJV ² For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

KJV ³ I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

KJV ⁴ Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

KJV ⁵ And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

KJV ⁶ For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

KJV ⁷ God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

KJV ⁸ O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

KJV ⁹ Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

KJV ¹⁰ Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

KJV ¹¹ The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

KJV ¹² The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

KJV ¹³ Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

KJV ¹⁴ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

KJV ¹⁵ Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

KJV ¹⁶ In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

KJV ¹⁷ For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

KJV ¹⁸ For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

KJV ¹⁹ Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

KJV ²⁰ I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

KJV ²¹ With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

KJV ²² The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

KJV ²³ And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

KJV ²⁴ But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

KJV ²⁵ I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

KJV ²⁶ He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

KJV ²⁷ Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

KJV ²⁸ My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

KJV ²⁹ His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

KJV ³⁰ If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

KJV ³¹ If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

KJV ³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

KJV ³³ Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

KJV ³⁴ My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

KJV ³⁵ Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

KJV ³⁶ His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

KJV ³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

KJV ³⁸ But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

KJV ³⁹ Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

KJV ⁴⁰ Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

KJV ⁴¹ All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

KJV ⁴² Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

KJV ⁴³ Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

KJV ⁴⁴ Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

KJV ⁴⁵ The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

KJV ⁴⁶ How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

KJV ⁴⁷ Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

KJV ⁴⁸ What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

KJV ⁴⁹ Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

KJV ⁵⁰ Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

KJV ⁵¹ Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

KJV ⁵² Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
