1  iI will sing of jthe steadfast love of the Lord, forever;

with my mouth I will make known your kfaithfulness to all generations.

2  For I said, j“Steadfast love will be built up forever;

in the heavens lyou will establish your kfaithfulness.”

3  You have said, “I have made ma covenant with my nchosen one;

I have osworn to David my servant:

4  ‘I will establish your poffspring forever,

and build your qthrone for all generations.’ ” Selah

5  Let rthe heavens praise your swonders, O Lord,

your faithfulness in the assembly of tthe holy ones!

6  For uwho in the skies can be compared to the Lord?

uWho among the heavenly beings2 is like the Lord,

7  a God greatly vto be feared in the council of tthe holy ones,

and awesome above all wwho are around him?

8  O Lord God of hosts,

xwho is mighty as you are, O yLord,

with your faithfulness all around you?

9  You rule the raging of the sea;

when its waves rise, you zstill them.

10  You acrushed bRahab like a carcass;

you cscattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

11  dThe heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;

ethe world and all that is in it, you have ffounded them.

12  gThe north and the south, you have created them;

hTabor and iHermon jjoyously praise your name.

13  You have a mighty arm;

strong is your hand, high your right hand.

14  kRighteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;

lsteadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

15  Blessed are the people who know mthe festal shout,

who walk, O Lord, in nthe light of your face,

16  who exult in your oname all the day

and in your righteousness are pexalted.

17  For you are qthe glory of their strength;

by your favor our rhorn is exalted.

18  For our sshield belongs to the Lord,

our king to tthe Holy One of Israel.

19  uOf old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,3 and said:

“I have vgranted help to one who is wmighty;

I have exalted one xchosen from the people.

20  yI have found David, my servant;

with my holy oil I have zanointed him,

21  so that my ahand shall be established with him;

my arm also shall strengthen him.

22  The enemy shall not outwit him;

bthe wicked shall not humble him.

23  I will ccrush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.
