1I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:
2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:
3I have made a covenant with my chosen,
4Thy seed will I stablish for ever,
5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord:
6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord?
7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
8O Lord God of hosts,
9Thou rulest the raging of the sea:
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:
12The north and the south thou hast created them:
13Thou hast a mighty arm:
14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne:
15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound:
16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day:
17For thou art the glory of their strength:
18For the Lord is our defence;
19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one,
20I have found David my servant;
21With whom my hand shall be established:
22The enemy shall not exact upon him;
23And I will beat down his foes before his face,
24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him:
25I will set his hand also in the sea,
26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father,
27Also I will make him my firstborn,
28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore,
29His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
30If his children forsake my law,
31If they break my statutes,
32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,
34My covenant will I not break,
35Once have I sworn by my holiness
36His seed shall endure for ever,
37It shall be established for ever as the moon,
38But thou hast cast off and abhorred,
39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant:
40Thou hast broken down all his hedges;
41All that pass by the way spoil him:
42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries;
43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword,
44Thou hast made his glory to cease,
45The days of his youth hast thou shortened:
46How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?
47Remember how short my time is:
48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?
49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses,
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;
51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord;
52Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
