God

In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,

For the beauty of their strength art Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

For of Jehovah is our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

And My faithfulness and kindness are with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

He proclaimeth me: `Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant is stedfast with him.

And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

His seed is to the age, And his throne is as the sun before Me,

And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,

Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,

Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.

Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.

Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over with shame. Selah.
