[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.
