3“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
4‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” Selah.
5The heavens will praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who amongst the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
7a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around him?
8LORD, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? The LORD, your faithfulness is around you.
9You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
10You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have founded them.
12You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
13You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
15Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
16In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
17For you are the glory of their strength. In your favour, our horn will be exalted.
18For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19Then you spoke in vision to your saints, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.
20I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
21with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
22No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
23I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
24But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
