And he built his sanctuarie like high palaces: like the earth which he hath established for euer.

He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the sheepe-folds:

From following the ewes great with young, hee brought him to feed Iacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

For they haue deuoured Iacob: and laid waste his dwelling place.

I remoued his shoulder from the burden: his handes were deliuered from the pots.

I will heare what God the Lord will speake: for hee will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saints: but let them not turne againe to folly.

Surely his saluation is nigh them that feare him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Righteousnes shall go before him: and shall set vs in the way of his steps.

[A Psalme or song for the sonnes of Korah.] His foundation is in the holy mountaines.

And I will beate downe his foes before his face: and plague them that hate him.

But my faithfulnesse and my mercy shalbe with him: and in my name shall his horne be exalted.

I will set his hand also in the sea: and his right hand in the riuers.

His seed also will I make to indure for euer: and his throne as the dayes of heauen.

If his children forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgements;

His seede shall endure for euer; and his throne as the sunne before me.

Thou hast made voyd the couenant of thy seruant: thou hast profaned his crowne, by casting it to the ground.

Thou hast broken downe all his hedges: thou hast brought his strong holds to ruine.

All that passe by the way; spoile him: hee is a reproach to his neighbours.

Thou hast set vp the right hand of his aduersaries: thou hast made all his enemies to reioyce.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword: and hast not made him to stand in the battaile.
