⁵ Let ^(M)the heavens praise your ^(N)wonders, O Lord,
    your faithfulness in the assembly of ^(O)the holy ones!
⁶ For ^(P)who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
    ^(Q)Who among the heavenly beings^[b] is like the Lord,
⁷ a God greatly ^(R)to be feared in the council of ^(S)the holy ones,
    and awesome above all ^(T)who are around him?
⁸ O Lord God of hosts,
    ^(U)who is mighty as you are, O ^(V)Lord,
    with your faithfulness all around you?
⁹ You rule the raging of the sea;
    when its waves rise, you ^(W)still them.
¹⁰ You ^(X)crushed ^(Y)Rahab like a carcass;
    you ^(Z)scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
^11 (AA)The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
    ^(AB)the world and all that is in it, you have ^(AC)founded them.
^12 (AD)The north and the south, you have created them;
    ^(AE)Tabor and ^(AF)Hermon ^(AG)joyously praise your name.
¹³ You have a mighty arm;
    strong is your hand, high your right hand.
^14 (AH)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    ^(AI)steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
¹⁵ Blessed are the people who know ^(AJ)the festal shout,
    who walk, O Lord, in ^(AK)the light of your face,
¹⁶ who exult in your ^(AL)name all the day
    and in your righteousness are ^(AM)exalted.
¹⁷ For you are ^(AN)the glory of their strength;
    by your favor our ^(AO)horn is exalted.
¹⁸ For our ^(AP)shield belongs to the Lord,
    our king to ^(AQ)the Holy One of Israel.

^19 (AR)Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,^[c] and said:
    “I have ^(AS)granted help to one who is ^(AT)mighty;
    I have exalted one ^(AU)chosen from the people.
^20 (AV)I have found David, my servant;
    with my holy oil I have ^(AW)anointed him,
²¹ so that my ^(AX)hand shall be established with him;
    my arm also shall strengthen him.
²² The enemy shall not outwit him;
    ^(AY)the wicked shall not humble him.
²³ I will ^(AZ)crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.
²⁴ My ^(BA)faithfulness and my ^(BB)steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name shall his ^(BC)horn be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand on ^(BD)the sea
    and his right hand on ^(BE)the rivers.
²⁶ He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^(BF)Father,
    my God, and ^(BG)the Rock of my salvation.’
²⁷ And I will make him the ^(BH)firstborn,
    ^(BI)the highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸ My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,
    and my ^(BJ)covenant will stand firm^[d] for him.
²⁹ I will establish his ^(BK)offspring forever
    and his ^(BL)throne as ^(BM)the days of the heavens.
^30 (BN)If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my rules,^[e]
31 if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³² then I will punish their transgression with ^(BO)the rod
    and their iniquity with stripes,
³³ but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
    or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁴ I will not violate my ^(BP)covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
³⁵ Once for all I have sworn ^(BQ)by my holiness;
    I will not ^(BR)lie to David.
³⁶ His ^(BS)offspring shall endure forever,
    ^(BT)his ^(BU)throne as long as ^(BV)the sun before me.
³⁷ Like ^(BW)the moon it shall be established forever,
    ^(BX)a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

³⁸ But now you have ^(BY)cast off and rejected;
    you are full of wrath against your ^(BZ)anointed.
³⁹ You have ^(CA)renounced ^(CB)the covenant with your servant;
    you have ^(CC)defiled his ^(CD)crown in the dust.
⁴⁰ You have ^(CE)breached all his walls;
    you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
^41 (CF)All who pass by plunder him;
    he has become ^(CG)the scorn of his neighbors.
⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.
⁴³ You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
    and you have not made him stand in battle.
⁴⁴ You have made his splendor to cease
    and cast his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ You have cut short ^(CH)the days of his youth;
    you have ^(CI)covered him with shame. Selah

^46 (CJ)How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath ^(CK)burn like fire?
^47 (CL)Remember ^(CM)how short my ^(CN)time is!
    For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
^48 (CO)What man can live and never ^(CP)see death?
    Who can deliver his soul from the power of ^(CQ)Sheol? Selah

⁴⁹ Lord, where is your ^(CR)steadfast love of old,
    which by your ^(CS)faithfulness you swore to David?
^50 (CT)Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,
    and how I bear in my ^(CU)heart the insults^[f] of all the many nations,
⁵¹ with which your enemies mock, O Lord,
    with which they mock ^(CV)the footsteps of your ^(CW)anointed.

^52 (CX)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.

² The Lord sends forth ^(E)from Zion
    ^(F)your mighty scepter.
    ^(G)Rule in the midst of your enemies!
^3 (H)Your people will ^(I)offer themselves freely
    on the day of your ^(J)power,^[a]
    in ^(K)holy garments;^[b]
from the womb of the morning,
    the dew of your youth will be yours.^[c]
4 (L)The Lord has ^(M)sworn
    and will ^(N)not change his mind,
^(O)“You are ^(P)a priest ^(Q)forever
    after the order of ^(R)Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your ^(S)right hand;
    he will ^(T)shatter kings on ^(U)the day of his wrath.
⁶ He will ^(V)execute judgment among the nations,
    ^(W)filling them with corpses;
he will ^(X)shatter chiefs^[d]
    over the wide earth.
⁷ He will ^(Y)drink from the brook by the way;
    therefore he will lift up his head.
