You
once
spoke
in a
vision ;
to Your
godly
ones
You
said
, “
I have bestowed
help on
a
warrior
; I have exalted one chosen from
the people.
Then
thou
spakest
in vision to thy
holy
one
, and
saidst,
I have laid
help upon
one
that
is
mighty
; I have exalted one chosen out
of
the people.
I have found My servant David
; with My sacred
oil I
have anointed him .
I have found David
my servant; with my holy
oil have I
anointed him :
My hand will
sustain
him;
surely
My
arm will
strengthen him.
With
whom
my hand shall
be
established:
mine
arm also
shall
strengthen him.
No
enemy will
exact tribute
; no
wicked
man
will
oppress
him.
The
enemy shall
not
exact upon
him
; nor
the
son
of
wickedness
afflict
him.
I will crush
his foes before him
and strike
down
those
who
hate him.
And
I will beat
down
his foes before his
face,
and plague
them
that
hate him.
My faithfulness and loving
devotion
will
be with him ,
and through
My name his horn will
be exalted.
But
my faithfulness and my
mercy
shall
be with him :
and in
my name shall
his horn be exalted.
I will set his hand over
the sea, and his right hand upon
the rivers.
I will set his hand also
in
the sea, and his right hand in
the rivers.
He will
call
to
Me, ‘You
are
my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation. ’
He shall
cry
unto
me, Thou
art
my father, my God, and
the rock of my salvation.
I will indeed
appoint
him as
My firstborn, the
highest
of
the kings of the earth.
Also
I will make
him my firstborn, higher
than
the kings of the earth.
I
will
forever
preserve
My loving
devotion
for him, and My covenant with
him
will
stand fast.
My mercy
will
I
keep
for him for
evermore
, and my covenant shall
stand fast with
him
.
I
will
establish
his line
forever
, his throne as long
as
the heavens
endure
.
His seed
also
will
I
make
to
endure
for
ever
, and
his throne as the days
of
heaven
.
If his sons
forsake My law and do
not
walk in My judgments ,
If his children
forsake my law ,
and walk not
in my judgments ;
if they violate
My statutes and fail
to
keep My commandments ,
If they break
my statutes ,
and keep not
my commandments ;
I
will attend
to
their transgression with the rod, and to
their iniquity with stripes.
Then
will I
visit
their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
But
I
will not withdraw
My
loving
devotion
from him, nor ever
betray
My faithfulness.
Nevertheless
my
lovingkindness
will I
not utterly
take
from him, nor suffer
my faithfulness to
fail
.
I
will
not
violate
My covenant or
alter the utterance
of My lips.
My covenant will
I
not
break,
nor
alter the thing
that
is
gone
out
of my lips.

for
all
I
have sworn by My holiness —
I will not lie to
David —

Me
like
the sun ,

shall endure for
ever
, and his throne as
the sun before
me.
like
the moon, established
forever,
a faithful witness in the
sky
. ”
Selah
It
shall
be
established
for
ever
as
the moon, and
as
a faithful witness in heaven
. Selah .
Now,
however,
You
have
spurned
and rejected
him;
You
are
enraged
by
Your
anointed one
.
But
thou
hast
cast
off
and abhorred,
thou
hast
been
wroth
with
thine
anointed.
You
have
renounced
the covenant with
Your
servant and
sullied
his crown in
the dust
.
Thou
hast
made
void
the covenant of
thy
servant :
thou
hast
profaned
his crown by
casting
it
to
the ground
.
You
have
broken down all his walls
; You
have
reduced
his strongholds
to rubble
.
Thou
hast
broken down all his hedges
; thou
hast
brought
his strong
holds
to ruin
.
All who
pass by plunder
him ;
he has
become
a reproach to his neighbors
.
All that
pass by the
way
spoil
him :
he is
a reproach to his neighbours
.
You
have
exalted
the right hand of his foes
; You
have
made all his enemies rejoice.
Thou
hast
set
up
the right hand of his adversaries
; thou
hast
made all his enemies to
rejoice.
You
have
bent
the edge of his sword and have
not sustained
him in battle.
Thou
hast
also
turned
the edge of his sword ,
and hast
not made
him to
stand
in the
battle.
You
have
ended
his splendor
and cast his throne to the ground.
Thou
hast
made
his glory
to
cease,
and cast his throne down
to the ground.
You
have
cut
short
the days of his youth ;
You
have
covered him with shame. Selah
The days of his youth hast
thou
shortened:
thou
hast
covered him with shame. Selah .
How long, O
LORD? Will
You
hide Yourself
forever
? Will
Your
wrath keep
burning
like fire?
How long, LORD? wilt
thou
hide thyself
for
ever
? shall
thy
wrath burn
like fire?
Remember the
briefness
of
my lifespan!
For
what
futility
You
have
created
all men !
Remember how
short
my time
is:
wherefore
hast
thou
made
all men in
vain?
What man can
live
and never
see death? Can
he deliver his soul from the power
of Sheol
? Selah
What man is
he
that
liveth,
and shall
not
see death? shall
he deliver his soul from the hand
of the
grave
? Selah .
Where,
O
Lord, is
Your
loving
devotion
of
old
, which You
faithfully
swore
to
David?
Lord, where
are
thy
former
lovingkindnesses
, which thou
swarest
unto
David in
thy
truth
?
Remember, O
Lord, the reproach of Your
servants ,
which
I bear in my heart
from
so
many
people —
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy
servants ;
how
I do
bear in my bosom
the
reproach
of
all
the
mighty
people ;
how
Your
enemies have taunted
, O LORD ,
and
have mocked
every
step
of Your
anointed one!
Wherewith
thine
enemies have reproached
, O LORD ;
wherewith
they
have reproached
the
footsteps
of thine
anointed .
Blessed be the LORD forever!
Amen and amen.
Blessed be the LORD for
evermore.
Amen ,
and Amen.
