1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;

With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.

2 For I have said, “Mercy shall be built up forever;

bYour faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”

3 “I chave made a covenant with My chosen,

I have dsworn to My servant David:

4 ‘Your seed I will establish forever,

And build up your throne eto all generations.’ ”

Selah

5 And fthe heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;

Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.

6 gFor who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?

Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?

7 hGod is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,

And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.

8 O Lord God of hosts,

Who is mighty like You, O Lord?

Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

9 iYou rule the raging of the sea;

When its waves rise, You still them.

10 jYou have broken 2Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain;

You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

11 kThe heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;

The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.

12 The north and the south, You have created them;

lTabor and mHermon rejoice in Your name.

13 You have a mighty arm;

Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;

Mercy and truth go before Your face.

15 Blessed are the people who know the njoyful sound!

They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.

16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,

And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the glory of their strength,

And in Your favor our 3horn is oexalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,

And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
