Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD? 7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all those around Him. 8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like you? Or to your faithfulness around you? 9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. 10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your strong arm. 11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours; as for the world and all its fullness, you have founded them. 12 The north and the south you have created them; Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name. 13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, and high is your right hand. 14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne; mercy and truth shall go before your face. 15 Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound; they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance. 16 In your name they shall rejoice all the day; and in your righteousness they shall be exalted. 17 For you are the glory of their strength, and in your favor our horn shall be exalted. 18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 19 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy one, and said, I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. 20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established; my arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him. 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him, and in my name his horn shall be exalted. 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry to me, You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 28 My mercy I will keep for him forevermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also I will make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If his children forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments; 31 If they break my statutes and do not keep my commandments; 32 Then I will visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie to David. 36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It shall be established forever like the moon, and like a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 38 But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been furious with your anointed. 39 You have made void the covenant of your servant; you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 40 You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strongholds to ruin. 41 All who pass by the way plunder him; he is a reproach to his neighbors. 42 You have set up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies rejoice. 43 You have also turned the edge of his sword, and have not sustained him in the battle. 44 You have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 45 The days of his youth you have shortened; you have covered him with shame. Selah. 46 How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Shall your wrath burn like fire? 47 Remember how short my time is; why have you made all men in vain? 48 What man can live and not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the power of the grave? Selah. 49 Lord, where are your former lovingkindnesses, which you swore to David in your truth? 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants; how I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 51 With which your enemies have reproached, O LORD, with which they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed. 52 Blessed be the LORD forevermore. Amen and Amen.
