O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

but I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.'

And now, O LORD, let the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.
