I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
4 Until perpetuity I will establish offspring your and I will build to a generation and a generation throne your (Selah)

God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.
8 O Yahweh - God of hosts who? like you [is] mighty - O Yahweh and faithfulness your [is] around you.
O Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.
9 You [are] ruling over [the] swelling of the sea when rise up waves its you you calm them.
You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.
10 You you crushed like [one] slain Rahab with [the] arm of strength your you scattered enemies your.
Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.
11 [belongs] to You heaven also [belongs] to you [the] earth [the] world and what fills it you you founded them.
Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.
12 [the] north And [the] south you you created them Tabor and Hermon at name your they shout for joy.

18 For [belongs] to Yahweh shield our and [belongs] to [the] holy [one] of Israel king our.
For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
19 Then you spoke in a vision to faithful [people] your and you said I have placed help on a warrior I have raised up a chosen [one] from [the] people.
Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
20 I have found David servant my with [the] oil of holiness my I have anointed him.
I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
21 Whom hand my it will be steadfast with him also arm my it will strengthen him.
My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
22 Not he will deceive an enemy him and a son of injustice not he will afflict him.
The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
23 And I will crush from before him opponents his and [those who] hate him I will strike down.
I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
24 And faithfulness my and covenant loyalty my [will be] with him and in name my it will be exalted horn his.
But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
25 And I will set on the sea hand his and on the rivers right [hand] his.
I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He he will call out to me [are] father my you God my and [the] rock of salvation my.
He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
27 Also I firstborn I will make him most high to [the] kings of [the] earth.
And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.
28 For ever (I will keep *Qk) to him covenant loyalty my and covenant my [will be] reliable to him.
I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
29 And I will establish for ever offspring his and throne his like [the] days of [the] heavens.
His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
30 If they will forsake sons his law my and in judgments my not they will walk!
If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
31 If statutes my they will violate and commandments my not they will keep.
If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
32 And I will punish with a rod transgression their and with plagues iniquity their.
Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
33 And covenant loyalty my not I will break off from with him and not I will deal falsely with faithfulness my.
But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
34 Not I will violate covenant my and [the] utterance of lips my not I will change.
I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
35 One [time] I have sworn an oath by holiness my if to David I will lie.
I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
36 Offspring his for ever it will be and throne his like the sun before me.
His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
37 Like [the] moon it will be established forever and a witness in the cloud[s] [will be] reliable (Selah)
It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah)
38 And you you have spurned and you have rejected you have been furious with anointed your.
But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
39 You have repudiated [the] covenant of servant your you have profaned to the ground crown his.
You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
40 You have broken through all walls his you have made strongholds his a ruin.
All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
41 They have plundered him all [those who] pass by of [the] road he has become a reproach to neighbors his.
All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
42 You have exalted [the] right [hand] of opponents his you have made to rejoice all enemies his.
You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.
43 Also you turn back [the] flint of sword his and not you have raised up him in battle.
His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
44 You have made cease from luster his and throne his to the ground you have thrown.
You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
45 You have made short [the] days of youth his you have wrapped on him shame (Selah)
You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah)
46 Until when? O Yahweh will you hide yourself? to perpetuity will it burn? like a fire anger your.
How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
47 Remember I what? [is] lifespan concerning what? emptiness have you created all [the] children of humankind.
See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
48 Who? [is the] man [who] he will live and not he will see death [who] he will deliver life his from [the] hand of Sheol (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where? - [are] covenant loyalti your former - O Lord [which] you swore an oath to David in faithfulness your.
Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
50 Remember O Lord [the] reproach of servants your bearing my in bosom my all many peoples.
Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;
51 Which they have reproached enemies your - O Yahweh which they have reproached [the] footprints of anointed your.
The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
52 [be] blessed Yahweh for ever amen - and amen.
Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
