{{ | {{Vs|1}} My song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the Lord: | ||
with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation to another. | with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation to another. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|2}} For I have said, Mercy shall be set up for ever: thy truth shalt thou stablish in the heavens. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|3}} I have made a covenant with my chosen: I have sworn unto David my servant; | ||
{{ | {{Vs|4}} Thy seed will I stablish for ever: and set up | ||
thy throne from one generation to another. | thy throne from one generation to another. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|5}} O Lord, the very heavens shall praise thy wondrous works: and thy truth | ||
in the congregation of the saints. | in the congregation of the saints. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|6}} For who is he among the clouds: that shall be compared unto the Lord? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|7}} And what is he among the gods: that shall be like unto the Lord? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|8}} God is very greatly to be feared in the council of the saints: | ||
that are round about him. | and to be had in reverence of all them that are round about him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|9}} O Lord God of hosts, who is like unto thee: thy truth, most mighty Lord, is on every side. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|10}} Thou rulest the raging of the sea: thou stillest the waves thereof when they arise. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|11}} Thou hast subdued Egypt, and destroyed it: | ||
thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm. | thou hast scattered thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|12}} The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: | ||
thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is. | thou hast laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|13}} Thou hast made the north and the south: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy Name. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|14}} Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|15}} Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|16}} Blessed is the people, O Lord, that can rejoice in thee: they shall walk in the light of thy countenance. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|17}} Their delight shall be daily in thy Name: and in thy righteousness shall they make their boast. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|18}} For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy loving-kindness thou shalt lift up our horns. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|19}} For the Lord is our defence: the Holy One of Israel is our King. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|20}} Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy saints, and saidst: I have laid help | ||
upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. | upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|21}} I have found David my servant: with my holy oil have I anointed him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|22}} My hand shall hold him fast: and my arm shall strengthen him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|23}} The enemy shall not be able to do him violence: the son of wickedness shall not hurt him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|24}} I will smite down his foes before his face: and plague them that hate him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|25}} My truth also and my mercy shall be with him: and in my Name shall his horn be exalted. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|26}} I will set his dominion also in the sea: and his right hand in the floods. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|27}} He shall call me, Thou art my Father: my God, and my strong salvation. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|28}} And I will make him my first-born: higher than the kings of the earth. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|29}} My mercy will I keep for him for evermore: and my covenant shall stand fast with him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|30}} His seed also will I make to endure for ever: and his throne as the days of heaven. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|31}} But if his children forsake my law: and walk not in my judgements; | ||
{{ | {{Vs|32}} If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments: | ||
{{ | {{Vs}} I will visit their offences with the rod, and their sin with scourges. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|33}} Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him: nor suffer my truth to fail. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|34}} My covenant I will not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips: | ||
{{ | {{Vs}} I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|35}} His seed shall endure for ever: and his seat is like as the sun before me. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|36}} He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon: and as the faithful witness in heaven. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|37}} But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine Anointed: and art displeased at him. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|38}} Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant: and cast his crown to the ground. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|39}} Thou hast overthrown all his hedges: and broken down his strong holds. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|40}} All they that go by spoil him: and he is become a reproach to his neighbours. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|41}} Thou hast set up the right hand of his enemies: and made all his adversaries to rejoice. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|42}} Thou hast taken away the edge of his sword: and givest him not victory in the battle. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|43}} Thou hast put out his glory: and cast his throne down to the ground. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|44}} The days of his youth hast thou shortened: and covered him with dishonour. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|45}} Lord, how long wilt thou hide thyself, for ever: and shall thy wrath burn like fire? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|46}} O remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men for nought? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|47}} What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death: and shall he deliver his soul from the hand | ||
of hell? | of hell? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|48}} Lord, where are thy old loving-kindnesses: which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? | ||
{{ | {{Vs|49}} Remember, Lord, the rebuke that thy servants have: and how I do bear in my bosom the rebukes | ||
of many people. | of many people. | ||
{{ | {{Vs|50}} Wherewith thine enemies have blasphemed thee, and slandered the footsteps of thine Anointed: | ||
{{ | {{Vs}} Praised be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.}} | ||

{{Text|English| | |||
To sing the mercies of the Lord | |||
My tongue shall never spare, | |||
My mouth from age to age accord | |||
Thy truth for to declare: | |||
For I have said, that mercy shall | |||
For evermore endure; | |||
Thy faithfulness in the heav'ns all | |||
Is stablish'd firm and sure. | |||
With mine elect, saith God, have I | |||
A faithful cov'nant made, | |||
And sworn to David solemnly, | |||
Having to him thus said; | |||
Thy seed for ever I will stay, | |||
And stablish it full fast, | |||
And still uphold thy throne alway | |||
From age to age to last. | |||
The heavns do shew with joy and mirth | |||
Thy wondrous works, O Lord; | |||
Thy saints within thy church on earth | |||
Thy faith and truth record. | |||
Who with the Lord is equal then | |||
In all the clouds abroad? | |||
Among the sons of gods or men | |||
What one is like our God? | |||
God in the assembly of the saints | |||
Is greatly to be dread, | |||
And over all that dwell about | |||
In rev'rence to be had. | |||
Lord God of hosts, in all the world | |||
what one is like to thee? | |||
On every side, most mighty Lord, | |||
Thy truth is seen to be. | |||
The rage and fury of the sea | |||
Thou rulest at thy will, | |||
And when the waves thereof arise, | |||
Thou mak'st them calm and still: | |||
And Egypt, Lord, thou hast subdu'd, | |||
Thou hast destroy'd it quite; | |||
Thy foes thou closely hast pursu'd, | |||
And scatter'd through thy might. | |||
''The Second Part'' | |||
The heav'ns are thine, and still have been, | |||
Likewise the earth and land, | |||
The world and all that is therein | |||
Thou foundedst with thy hand: | |||
Both north and south, with east and west, | |||
Thyself didst make and frame: | |||
Both Tabor mount and Hermon hill | |||
Rejoice and praise thy name. | |||
Thine arm is strong and full of pow'r, | |||
All might therein doth lie; | |||
The strength of thy right hand each hour | |||
Thou liftest up on high: | |||
In righteousness and equity | |||
Thou hast thy seat and place; | |||
Mercy and truth are still with thee, | |||
And go before thy face. | |||
That folk is blest that knoweth right | |||
The joyful sound, O God; | |||
For in the favour of thy sight | |||
They walk full safe abroad: | |||
And in thy name throughout the day | |||
They greatly do rejoice, | |||
And through thy righteousness have they | |||
A pleasant fame and noise. | |||
For why? their glory, strength, and aid, | |||
In thee alone doth lie; | |||
And thy goodness which hath us staid, | |||
Shall lift our horn on high. | |||
Our strength that doth defend us well, | |||
The Lord to us doth bring; | |||
The Holy One of Israel | |||
He is our Guide and King. | |||
Sometimes thy will to holy men | |||
In visions thou didst show, | |||
And thus didst say unto them then, | |||
Thy mind to make them know: | |||
A man of might I have erect | |||
Your king and guide to be, | |||
And set him up whom I elect | |||
Among the folk to me.}} | |||

''The Third Part'' | |||
My servant David I appoint | |||
To rule my people well, | |||
And with my holy oil anoint | |||
Him king of Israel. | |||
For why? my hand is ready still | |||
With him for to remain, | |||
And with my arm also I will | |||
Him strengthen and sustain: | |||
The enemies shall not oppress, | |||
They shall not him devour. | |||
Nor shall the sons of wickedness | |||
on him have any pow'r: | |||
His foes likewise I will destroy | |||
Before his face in sight, | |||
Those that him hate I will annoy, | |||
And strike them with my might: | |||
My truth and mercy shall likewise | |||
Upon him ever lie; | |||
And in my name his horn shall rise, | |||
And be exalted high: | |||
His kingdom I will set to be | |||
Upon the sea and land; | |||
Also the running flood shall he | |||
Embrace with his right hand: | |||
He shall depend with all his heart | |||
On me, and thus shall say, | |||
My Father and my God thou art, | |||
My rock, my health, and stay: | |||
As my first-born I will him count | |||
Of all on earth that springs; | |||
His might and honour shall surmount | |||
Above all earthly kings: | |||
My mercy shall be with him still, | |||
As I myself have told, | |||
My faithful cov'nant to fulfil | |||
My promise I will hold: | |||
Also his seed I will sustain | |||
For ever strong and sure; | |||
So that his seed shall still remain, | |||
While heav'n and earth endure. | |||
''The Fourth Part'' | |||
But if his sons forsake my law, | |||
And so begin to swerve, | |||
And of my judgements have no awe, | |||
And will not them observe; | |||
Or if they do not use aright | |||
My laws for them prepar'd; | |||
But set all my commandments light, | |||
And will not them regard: | |||
Then with the rod will I begin | |||
Their doings to amend, | |||
And so will scourge them for their sin, | |||
Whenever they offend. | |||
But yet my mercy and goodness | |||
I will not take away | |||
From him, nor let my faithfulness | |||
In any wise decay: | |||
But sure my cov'nant I will hold, | |||
With all that I have spoke: | |||
No word the which my lips have told | |||
Shall alter or be broke. | |||
Once sware I by my holiness, | |||
And that perform will I; | |||
With David I will promise keep, | |||
To him I will not lie: | |||
His seed for evermore shall reign. | |||
Also his throne of might, | |||
As doth the sun it shall remain | |||
For ever in my sight: | |||
And as the moon within the sky | |||
For ever standeth fast, | |||
A faithful witness from on high; | |||
So shall his kingdom last. | |||
But, Lord, thou dost him now reject, | |||
And put him in great fear; | |||
Yea, thou art wroth with thine elect, | |||
Thine own anointed dear. | |||
The cov'nant with thy servant made, | |||
Thou hast quite overthrown. | |||
And down upon the ground hast laid | |||
And cast his royal crown.}} | |||
{{middle|3}} | |||
{{Text|Simple| | |||
''The Fifth Part'' | |||
His hedges thou hast overthrown, | |||
His walls destroy'd quite round; | |||
All his strong holds hast beaten down, | |||
And levell'd with the ground: | |||
That he is sore destroy'd and torn | |||
Of comers-by throughout, | |||
And so is made a mock and scorn | |||
To all that dwell about: | |||
Thou their right hand hast arm'd with pow'r, | |||
That him so sore annoy: | |||
And all his foes that him devour, | |||
Lo, thou hast made to joy: | |||
His sword's edge thou dost take away | |||
That should his foes withstand; | |||
To him in war no victory | |||
Thou giv'st, nor upper hand: | |||
His glory thou dost also waste, | |||
His throne, his joy, and mirth, | |||
By thee is overthrown and cast | |||
Full low upon the earth: | |||
Thou hast cut off and made full short | |||
His youth and joyful days, | |||
And rais'd of him an ill report, | |||
To his shame and dispraise. | |||
How long away from me therefore, | |||
For ever wilt thou turn? | |||
And shall thine anger evermore | |||
Like fire consume and burn? | |||
O call to mind, remember then, | |||
My time consumeth fast: | |||
Why hast thou made the sons of men | |||
As things in vain to waste, | |||
What man is he that liveth, and | |||
Death never thinks to see, | |||
Or from the grave's devouring hand | |||
Shall he his soul set free? | |||
Where is, O Lord, thy great goodness, | |||
So oft declar'd before, | |||
Which by thy truth and uprightness | |||
To David thou hast swore? | |||
The great rebukes to mind I call, | |||
That on thy servants lie, | |||
The railings of the people all, | |||
Borne in my breast have I; | |||
Wherewith, O Lord. thine enemies | |||
Blasphemed have thy name: | |||
The steps of thine anointed one | |||
They cease not to defame. | |||
All praise be given unto thee, | |||
O God, the Lord most high, | |||
From this time forth for evermore, | |||
Amen, Amen, say I.}} | |||

{{Text|English| | |||
PART 1 (C. M.) | |||
''The faithfulness of God'' | |||
My never-ceasing songs shall show | |||
The mercies of the Lord; | |||
And make succeeding ages know | |||
How faithful is his word. | |||
The sacred truths his lips pronounce | |||
Shall firm as heav'n endure; | |||
And if he speak a promise once, | |||
Th' eternal grace is sure. | |||
How long the race of David held | |||
The promised Jewish throne! | |||
But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed | |||
To David's greater Son. | |||
His seed for ever shall possess | |||
A throne above the skies; | |||
The meanest subject of his grace | |||
Shall to that glory rise. | |||
Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways | |||
Are sung by saints above; | |||
And saints on earth their honors raise | |||
To thy unchanging love. | |||
PART 2, v. 7 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''The power and majesty of God; or, Reverential worship'' | |||
With rev'rence let the saints appear, | |||
And bow before the Lord; | |||
His high commands with rev'rence hear, | |||
And tremble at his word. | |||
How terrible thy glories be! | |||
How bright thine armies shine! | |||
Where is the power that vies with thee, | |||
Or truth compared to thine? | |||
The northern pole and southern rest | |||
On thy supporting hand; | |||
Darkness and day, from east to west, | |||
Move round at thy command. | |||
Thy words the raging winds control, | |||
And rule the boist'rous deep; | |||
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll, | |||
The rolling billows sleep. | |||
Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea, are thine, | |||
And the dark world of hell; | |||
How did thine arm in vengeance shine | |||
When Egypt durst rebel! | |||
Justice and judgment are thy throne, | |||
Yet wondrous is thy grace; | |||
While truth and mercy, joined in one, | |||
Invite us near thy face. | |||
PART 3, v. 15 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''A blessed gospel'' | |||
Blest are the souls that hear and know | |||
The gospel's joyful sound; | |||
Peace shall attend the path they go, | |||
And light their steps surround. | |||
Their joy shall bear their spirits up | |||
Through their Redeemer's name; | |||
His righteousness exalts their hope, | |||
Nor Satan dares condemn. | |||
The Lord, our glory and defence, | |||
Strength and salvation gives; | |||
Isr'el, thy King for ever reigns, | |||
Thy God for ever lives.}} | |||

PART 4, v. 19 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''Christ's mediatorial kingdom; or, His Divine and human nature'' | |||
Hear what the Lord in vision said, | |||
And made his mercy known: | |||
"Sinners, behold your help is laid | |||
On my Almighty Son. | |||
"Behold the Man my wisdom chose | |||
Among your mortal race: | |||
His head my holy oil o'erflows, | |||
The Spirit of my grace. | |||
"High shall he reign on David's throne, | |||
My people's better King; | |||
My arm shall beat his rivals down, | |||
And still new subjects bring. | |||
"My truth shall guard him in his way, | |||
With mercy by his side, | |||
While in my name through earth and sea | |||
He shall in triumph ride. | |||
"Me for his Father and his God | |||
He shall for ever own, | |||
Call me his rock, his high abode, | |||
And I'll support my Son. | |||
"My first-born Son arrayed in grace | |||
At my right hand shall sit; | |||
Beneath him angels know their place, | |||
And monarchs at his feet. | |||
"My cov'nant stands for ever fast, | |||
My promises are strong; | |||
Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last, | |||
His seed endure as long." | |||
PART 5, v. 30 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''The covenant of grace unchangeable'' | |||
"Yet," saith the Lord, "if David's race, | |||
The children of my Son, | |||
Should break my laws, abuse my grace, | |||
And tempt mine anger down; | |||
"Their sins I'll visit with the rod | |||
And make their folly smart; | |||
But I'll not cease to be their God, | |||
Nor from my truth depart. | |||
"My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke, | |||
But keep my grace in mind | |||
And what eternal love hath spoke | |||
Eternal truth shall bind. | |||
"Once have I sworn (I need no more) | |||
And pledged my holiness, | |||
To seal the sacred promise sure | |||
To David and his race. | |||
"The sun shall see his offspring rise | |||
And spread from sea to sea, | |||
Long as he travels round the skies | |||
To give the nations day. | |||
"Sure as the moon that rules the night | |||
His kingdom shall endure, | |||
Till the fixed laws of shade and light | |||
Shall be observed no more.}} | |||

PART 6, v. 47 ff. (L. M.) | |||
''Mortality and hope. A funeral psalm'' | |||
Remember, Lord, our mortal state, | |||
How frail our life! how short the date! | |||
Where is the man that draws his breath | |||
Safe from disease, secure from death'? | |||
Lord, while we see whole nations die, | |||
Our flesh and sense repine and cry, | |||
"Must death for ever rage and reign? | |||
Or hast thou made mankind in vain? | |||
"Where is thy promise to the just? | |||
Are not thy servants turned to dust?" | |||
But faith forbids these mournful sighs, | |||
And sees the sleeping dust arise. | |||
That glorious hour, that dreadful day, | |||
Wipes the reproach of saints away, | |||
And clears the honor of thy word: | |||
Awake, our souls, and bless the Lord. | |||
LAST PART, v. 47 ff. (8,8,8,8,8,8) | |||
''Life, death, and the resurrection'' | |||
Think, mighty God, on feeble man; | |||
How few his hours! how short his span! | |||
Short from the cradle to the grave | |||
Who can secure his vital breath | |||
Against the bold demands of death, | |||
With skill to fly, or power to save? | |||
Lord, shall it be for ever said, | |||
"The race of man was only made | |||
For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" | |||
Are not thy servants day by day | |||
Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? | |||
Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? | |||
Hast thou not promised to thy Son | |||
And all his seed a heav'nly crown? | |||
But flesh and sense indulge despair: | |||
For ever blessed be the Lord, | |||
That faith can read his holy word, | |||
And find a resurrection there. | |||
For ever blessed be the Lord, | |||
Who gives his saints a long reward | |||
For all their toil, reproach, and pain: | |||
Let all below and all above | |||
Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, | |||
And each repeat their loud Amen.}} | |||
