For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever; Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens."

For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?

For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.

For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?

For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.

For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified.

For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.

The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.

For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods.

The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.
