| 1 | I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for euer: with my mouth will I make knowen thy faithfulnesse to all generations. |
| 2 | For I haue said, Mercie shall bee built vp for euer: thy faithfulnesse shalt thou establish in the very heauens. |
| 3 | I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruant. |
| 4 | Thy seed will I stablish for euer: and build vp thy throne to all generations. Selah. |
| 5 | And the heauens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulnes also in the congregation of the Saints. |
| 6 | For who in the heauen can be compared vnto the Lord? who among the sonnes of the mightie can be likened vnto the Lord? |
| 7 | God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the Saints: and to bee had in reuerence of all them that are about him. |
| 8 | O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like vnto thee? or to thy faithfulnesse round about thee? |
| 9 | Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise; thou stillest them. |
| 10 | Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arme. |
| 11 | The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulnes thereof, thou hast founded them. |
| 12 | The North and the South, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name. |
| 13 | Thou hast a mighty arme: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. |
| 14 | Iustice and iudgement are the habitation of thy throne: mercie and trueth shall goe before thy face. |
| 15 | Blessed is the people that knowe the ioyfull sound: they shall walke O Lord in the light of thy countenance. |
| 16 | In thy name shall they reioyce all the day: and in thy righteousnes shall they be exalted. |
| 17 | For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy fauour our horne shall be exalted. |
| 18 | For the Lord is our defence: and the holy One of Israel is our king. |
| 19 | Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I haue laid helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people. |
| 20 | I haue found Dauid my seruant: with my holy oile haue I anointed him. |
| 21 | With whome my hand shall bee established: mine arme also shall strengthen him. |
| 22 | The enemie shall not exact vpon him: nor the sonne of wickednesse afflict him. |
| 23 | And I will beate downe his foes before his face: and plague them that hate him. |
| 24 | But my faithfulnesse and my mercy shalbe with him: and in my name shall his horne be exalted. |
| 25 | I will set his hand also in the sea: and his right hand in the riuers. |
| 26 | He shall crie vnto mee, Thou art my father: my God, and the rocke of my saluation. |
| 27 | Also I will make him my first borne: higher then the kings of the earth. |
| 28 | My mercy will I keepe for him for euermore: and my couenant shall stand fast with him. |
| 29 | His seed also will I make to indure for euer: and his throne as the dayes of heauen. |
| 30 | If his children forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgements; |
| 31 | If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements: |
| 32 | Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with stripes. |
| 33 | Neuerthelesse, my louing kindnesse will I not vtterly take from him: nor suffer my faithfulnesse to faile. |
| 34 | My couenant will I not breake: nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lippes. |
| 35 | Once haue I sworne by my holinesse; that I will not lye vnto Dauid. |
| 36 | His seede shall endure for euer; and his throne as the sunne before me. |
| 37 | It shalbe established for euer as the Moone: and as a faithfull witnesse in heauen. Selah. |
| 38 | But thou hast cast off and abhorred: thou hast bene wroth with thine anointed. |
| 39 | Thou hast made voyd the couenant of thy seruant: thou hast profaned his crowne, by casting it to the ground. |
| 40 | Thou hast broken downe all his hedges: thou hast brought his strong holds to ruine. |
| 41 | All that passe by the way; spoile him: hee is a reproach to his neighbours. |
| 42 | Thou hast set vp the right hand of his aduersaries: thou hast made all his enemies to reioyce. |
| 43 | Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword: and hast not made him to stand in the battaile. |
| 44 | Thou hast made his glory to cease: and cast his throne downe to the ground. |
| 45 | The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned: thou hast couered him with shame. Selah. |
| 46 | How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire? |
| 47 | Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vaine? |
| 48 | What man is he that liueth, and shall not see death? shall he deliuer his soule from the hand of the graue? Selah. |
| 49 | Lord, where are thy former louing kindnesses, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth? |
| 50 | Remember (Lord) the reproach of thy seruants: how I doe beare in my bosome the reproache of all the mighty people. |
| 51 | Wherewith thine enemies haue reproached, O Lord: wherewith they haue reproached the foote-steppes of thine Annointed. |
| 52 | Blessed be the Lord for euermore, Amen, and Amen. |
