1  I will sing of the ^csteadfast love of the Lord forever;

with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.

2  For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever;

^din the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.”

3  You have said, ^e“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;

I have ^fsworn to David my servant:

4  ‘I will establish your offspring ^gforever,

and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah

5  Let the ^hheavens praise your wonders, O Lord,

your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!

19  Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,¹ and said:

“I have granted help to one who is mighty;

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20  ^sI have found David, my servant;

with my holy oil I have ^tanointed him,

21  so that my hand shall be established with him;

my arm also shall strengthen him.

22  The enemy shall not outwit him;

^uthe wicked shall not humble him.

23  I will crush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.

24  My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him,

and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25  ^vI will set his hand on the sea

and his right hand on the rivers.

26  He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^wFather,

my God, and the ^xRock of my salvation.’

27  And I will make him the ^yfirstborn,

the highest of the kings of the earth.

28  ^zMy steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

and my ^acovenant will stand firm² for him.

29  I will establish his offspring forever

and his throne as the days of the heavens.
