God

May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.

A psalm for David. The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of many.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

¶ But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just, and in the congregation.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.
