I will sing forever of Yahweh's acts of loyal love. {From generation to generation} I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth.

Righteousness and justice [are] the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness come before your face.

"I made a covenant with my chosen one; I swore [an oath] to David my servant:

Blessed [are] the people who know [the] joyful shout; O Yahweh, they walk about in the light of your countenance.

I will not defile my covenant, or alter what proceeded from my lips.

Formerly you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones, and said, "I have bestowed help on a mighty man; I have exalted one chosen from [the] people.

I will also make him [the] firstborn, [the] highest of [the] kings of [the] earth.

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

a God feared greatly in the council of [the] holy ones, and awesome above all surrounding him?

For who in the sky is equal to Yahweh? [Who is] like Yahweh among the sons of God,

He will call out [to] me, 'You [are] my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'

And [so the] heavens will praise your wonderful deed, O Yahweh, even your faithfulness, in [the] assembly of [the] holy ones.

[The] heavens are yours, [the] earth yours as well, [the] world with its fullness, [because] you founded them.

What man can live [on] and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the {power} of Sheol? Selah

For I say, "Forever [your] loyal love is built up. [The] heavens you have established [with] your faithfulness in them."

If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,

O Yahweh God [of] hosts, who [is] mighty like you, O Yah, with your faithfulness surrounding you?

Once I have sworn by my holiness, 'I will surely not lie to David,

You are ruling the surging of the sea. When its waves rise, {you yourself still} them.

But you have spurned and rejected; you are very angry with your anointed one.

Forever I will keep my loyal love for him, and my covenant [will be] reliable for him.

Where [are] your former acts of loyal love, O Lord, [that] you swore to David by your faithfulness?

{You yourself crushed} Rahab like one [who is] slain; you scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

'I will establish your descendants forever, and I will build up your throne {from generation to generation}.'" Selah

I will also establish his offspring forever, and his throne as [the] days of [the] heavens.

because our shield belongs to Yahweh, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.

North and south, you created them; Tabor and Hermon shout joyfully over your name.

His offspring will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.

How long, O Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire [forever]?

You have a mighty arm; Your hand is strong; your right hand reaches high.

For you [are] the glory of their strength, and by your favor our horn rises up,

Like [the] moon it will be steadfast forever, and [like] an enduring witness in the sky.'" Selah

Remember, O Lord the taunting of your servants, [how] I bear in my bosom [the taunts of] all [the] many peoples,

then I will punish their transgression with rod, and their guilt with wounds.

And [so] my faithfulness and my loyal love [will be] with him, and in my name his horn will rise up.

Remember what my lifespan [is]. [Remember] for what vanity you have created all [the] children of humankind.

In your name they rejoice all the day, and in your righteousness they rise up.

if they defile my statutes and do not keep my commandments,

Blessed be Yahweh forever. Amen and Amen.

You have repudiated the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dirt.

with whom my hand will be steadfast. Surely my arm will strengthen him.

[by] which your enemies taunt, O Yahweh, [by] which they taunt the steps of your anointed one.

[The] enemy will not deceive him, and no {evil man} will afflict him.

And I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

You have broken down all his walls; you have made his fortifications a ruin.

But I will crush his adversaries before him, and I will strike those who hate him.

You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah

All passing along [the] road plunder him; he has become a taunt to his neighbors.

You have made his splendor to cease, and cast his throne to the ground.

You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not helped him stand [his ground] in the battle.

You have raised the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all his enemies rejoice.
