11The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours; the world and its fullness. You have founded them.
12The north and the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon Devoted to destruction rejoice in your name.
13You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
14Righteousness and mishpat ·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, Adonai .
16In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
17For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.
18For our shield belongs to Adonai ; our king to the haKadosh Isra'el the Holy One of God prevails.
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 Beloved, 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 cheshed ·loving-kindness· will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my yishu'ah ·salvation·!’
27I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28I will keep my cheshed ·loving-kindness· for him forever more. My covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· will stand firm with him.
29I will also make his offspring endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30If his children forsake my Torah ·Teaching·, and don’t walk in my judgments;
31if they break my regulations, and don’t keep my mitzvot ·instructions·;
32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33But I will not completely take my cheshed ·loving-kindness· from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34I will not break my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, nor alter what my lips have uttered.
35Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David Beloved.
36His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
37It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
38But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
39You have renounced the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
40You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
43Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
44You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
45You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
46How long, Adonai ? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
47Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!
48What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol ·Place of the dead·? Selah ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
49Lord, where are your former cheshed ·loving-kindnesses·, which you swore to David Beloved in your faithfulness?
50Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
