• 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
• 15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.
• 16 In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
• 17 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
• 18 For our shield belongs to Yahweh; Our king to the Holy One of Israel.
• 19 Then you spoke in vision to your saints, And said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.
• 20 I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
• 21 With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
• 22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
• 23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.
• 24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
• 25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
• 26 He will call to me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'
• 27 I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
• 28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.
• 29 I will also make his seed endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.
• 30 If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;
• 31 If they break my statutes, And don't keep my commandments;
• 32 Then I will punish their sin with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
• 33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
• 34 I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what my lips have uttered.
• 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
• 36 His seed will endure forever, His throne like the sun before me.
• 37 It will be established forever like the moon, The faithful witness in the sky." Selah.
• 38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
• 39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
• 40 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
• 41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
• 42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
• 43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, And haven't supported him in battle.
• 44 You have ended his splendor, And thrown his throne down to the ground.
• 45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.
• 46 How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
• 47 Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!
• 48 What man is he who shall live and not see death, Who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
• 49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, Which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
• 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, How I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
• 51 With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, With which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
• 52 Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen.

• 1 O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
• 2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence; incline thine ear unto my cry:
• 3 For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.
• 4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help:
• 5 Cast off among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from thy hand.
• 6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
• 7 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. {cf15i Selah}
• 8 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
• 9 Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O LORD, I have spread forth my hands unto thee.
• 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall they that are deceased arise and praise thee? {cf15i Selah}
• 11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in Destruction?
• 12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
• 13 But unto thee, O LORD, have I cried, and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
• 14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
• 15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
• 16 Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
• 17 They came round about me like water all the day long; they compassed me about together.
• 18 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

• 1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD 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 shalt 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. {cf15i Selah}
• 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD; thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
• 6 For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty is like unto the LORD,
• 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 LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O JAH? 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 judgment are the foundation of thy throne: mercy and truth go before thy face.
• 15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they walk, O LORD, 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 favour our horn shall be exalted.
• 18 For our shield belongeth unto the LORD; 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 upon 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 mercy 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 {cf15i my} firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
• 28 My mercy 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 my judgments;
• 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 mercy 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 {cf15i as} the faithful witness in the sky. {cf15i 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 {cf15i even} to the ground.
• 40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.
• 41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
• 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 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. {cf15i Selah}
• 46 How long, O LORD, wilt thou hid thyself for ever? {cf15i how long} shall thy wrath burn like fire?
• 47 O 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? {cf15i Selah}
• 49 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
• 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom {cf15i the reproach of} all the mighty peoples:
• 51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD, wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
• 52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
