[1] I will sing
of your steadfast love, O LORD, forever;
with my
mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.
[2] I declare
that your steadfast love is established forever;
your
faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
[3] You said,
"I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have
sworn to my servant David:
[4] 'I will
establish your descendants forever,
and build
your throne for all generations.'"
Selah
[5] Let the
heavens praise your wonders, O LORD,
your
faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.
[6] For who in
the skies can be compared to the LORD?
Who among
the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
[7] a God feared
in the council of the holy ones,
great and
awesome above all that are around him?
[8] O LORD God of
hosts,
who is as
mighty as you, O LORD?
Your
faithfulness surrounds you.
[9] You rule the
raging of the sea;
when its
waves rise, you still them.
[10] You crushed
Rahab like a carcass;
you
scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
[11] The heavens
are yours, the earth also is yours;
the world
and all that is in it -- you have founded them.
[12] The north and
the south -- you created them;
Tabor and
Hermon joyously praise your name.
[13] You have a
mighty arm;
strong is
your hand, high your right hand.
[14] Righteousness
and justice are the foundation of your throne;
steadfast
love and faithfulness go before you.
[15] Happy are the
people who know the festal shout,
who walk,
O LORD, in the light of your countenance;
[16] they exult in
your name all day long,
and extol
your righteousness.
[17] For you are
the glory of their strength;
by your
favor our horn is exalted.
[18] For our
shield belongs to the LORD,
our king
to the Holy One of Israel.
