1. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.
2. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever: your faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens.
3. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4. Your seed will I establish forever, and build up your throne to all generations.
5. And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O LORD: your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
7. God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?
9. You rule the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, 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 the fullness thereof, 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. Righteousness and justice are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.
15. Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance.
16. In your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.
17. For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favor our horn shall be exalted.
