3
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy 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 thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
16
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18
For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
