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.

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, O ^(I)families of the peoples,
    ^(J)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord ^(K)the glory due his name;
    bring ^(L)an offering, and ^(M)come into his courts!
⁹ Worship the Lord in ^(N)the splendor of holiness;^{[a]
    (O)}tremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰ Say among the nations, ^(P)“The Lord reigns!
    Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
    he will ^(Q)judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹ Let ^(R)the heavens be glad, and let ^(S)the earth rejoice;
    let ^(T)the sea roar, and all that fills it;
¹²     let ^(U)the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all ^(V)the trees of the forest sing for joy
¹³     before the Lord, for he comes,
    for he comes ^(W)to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.

³ Know that ^(E)the Lord, he is God!
    It is he who ^(F)made us, and ^(G)we are his;^[a]
    we are his ^(H)people, and ^(I)the sheep of his pasture.

^4 (J)Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his ^(K)courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; ^(L)bless his name!

^5 (M)For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his ^(N)faithfulness to all generations.

⁵ Whoever slanders his neighbor ^(Y)secretly
    I will ^(Z)destroy.
Whoever has a ^(AA)haughty look and an ^(AB)arrogant heart
    I will not endure.

⁶ I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in ^(AC)the way that is blameless
    shall minister to me.

⁷ No one who ^(AD)practices deceit
    shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
    shall ^(AE)continue before my eyes.

^8 (AF)Morning by morning I will destroy
    all the wicked in the land,
^(AG)cutting off all ^(AH)the evildoers
    from ^(AI)the city of the Lord.

⁷ He is the Lord our God;
    his ^(K)judgments are in all the earth.
⁸ He ^(L)remembers his covenant forever,
    the word that he commanded, for ^(M)a thousand generations,
^9 (N)the covenant that he made with Abraham,
    his ^(O)sworn promise to Isaac,
¹⁰ which he confirmed to ^(P)Jacob as a statute,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ saying, ^(Q)“To you I will give the land of Canaan
    as ^(R)your portion for an inheritance.”

¹² When they were ^(S)few in number,
    of little account, and ^(T)sojourners in it,
¹³ wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴ he ^(U)allowed no one to oppress them;
    he ^(V)rebuked kings on their account,
¹⁵ saying, ^(W)“Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶ When he ^(X)summoned a famine on the land
    and ^(Y)broke all supply^[a] of bread,
¹⁷ he had ^(Z)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was ^(AA)sold as a slave.
¹⁸ His ^(AB)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹ until ^(AC)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord ^(AD)tested him.
^20 (AE)The king sent and ^(AF)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
²¹ he ^(AG)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
²² to bind^[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³ Then ^(AH)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(AI)sojourned in ^(AJ)the land of Ham.
²⁴ And the Lord ^(AK)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
²⁵ He ^(AL)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to ^(AM)deal craftily with his servants.

²⁶ He ^(AN)sent Moses, his servant,
    and Aaron, ^(AO)whom he had chosen.
^27 (AP)They performed his signs among them
    and miracles in ^(AQ)the land of Ham.
²⁸ He ^(AR)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
    they ^(AS)did not rebel^[c] against his words.
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood
    and ^(AT)caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs,
    even in ^(AU)the chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and there came ^(AV)swarms of flies,
    ^(AW)and gnats throughout their country.
³² He gave them hail for rain,
    and fiery ^(AX)lightning bolts through their land.
³³ He struck down their vines and fig trees,
    and ^(AY)shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke, and the ^(AZ)locusts came,
    young locusts without number,
³⁵ which devoured all the vegetation in their land
    and ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He ^(BA)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
    ^(BB)the firstfruits of all their strength.

³⁷ Then he brought out Israel with ^(BC)silver and gold,
    and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
^38 (BD)Egypt was glad when they departed,
    for ^(BE)dread of them had fallen upon it.

³⁹ He ^(BF)spread a cloud for a covering,
    and fire to give light by night.
^40 (BG)They asked, and he ^(BH)brought quail,
    and gave them ^(BI)bread from heaven in abundance.
⁴¹ He opened the rock, and ^(BJ)water gushed out;
    it flowed through ^(BK)the desert like a river.
⁴² For he ^(BL)remembered his holy promise,
    and ^(BM)Abraham, his servant.

⁴³ So he brought his people out with joy,
    his ^(BN)chosen ones with ^(BO)singing.
⁴⁴ And he ^(BP)gave them the lands of the nations,
    and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
⁴⁵ that they might ^(BQ)keep his statutes
    and ^(BR)observe his laws.
^(BS)Praise the Lord!

⁶ Behold, we heard of it in ^(H)Ephrathah;
    we found it in ^(I)the fields of Jaar.
⁷ “Let us go to his dwelling place;
    let us ^(J)worship at his ^(K)footstool!”

^8 (L)Arise, O Lord, and go to your ^(M)resting place,
    you and the ark of your ^(N)might.
⁹ Let your ^(O)priests be ^(P)clothed with righteousness,
    and let your ^(Q)saints shout for joy.
¹⁰ For the sake of your servant David,
    ^(R)do not turn away the face of ^(S)your anointed one.

^11 (T)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    ^(U)from which he will not turn back:
^(V)“One of the sons of your body^[a]
    I will set on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
    shall ^(W)sit on your throne.”

¹³ For the Lord has ^(X)chosen Zion;
    he has ^(Y)desired it for his dwelling place:
¹⁴ “This is my ^(Z)resting place forever;
    here I will ^(AA)dwell, for I have desired it.
¹⁵ I will abundantly ^(AB)bless her provisions;
    I will ^(AC)satisfy her poor with bread.
¹⁶ Her ^(AD)priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her ^(AE)saints will shout for joy.
¹⁷ There I will make ^(AF)a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared ^(AG)a lamp for ^(AH)my anointed.
¹⁸ His enemies I will ^(AI)clothe with shame,
    but on him his crown will shine.”
