I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:

For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?

For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.

And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

(For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
