[1] I wyll sing alwayes of the mercy of God: with my mouth I wyll make knowen thy trueth from one generation to another[2]For I sayde, mercy shall for euer endure: thou hast established thy trueth in the heauens[3]I haue made a couenaunt with my chosen: I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruaunt[4]I wyll establishe thy seede for euer: and buylde vp thy throne from generation to generation. Selah[5]O God, the very heauens shall confesse thy wonderous workes: and thy trueth in the congregation of saintes[6]For who is he in the cloudes that shal matche God: [and who] is like vnto God amongst the children gods[7]God is very terrible in the assemblie of saintes: and to be feared aboue al them that are about him[8]O God, Lorde of hoastes, who is like vnto thee a most mightie Lorde: and thy trueth is on euery side thee[9]Thou rulest the ragyng of the sea: when her waues aryse, thou delayest them[10]Thou hast brought Egypt in so bad a case as if it were wounded: thou hast scattered thyne enemies abrode with thy mightie arme[11]The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the rounde worlde, and of all the plentie that is therin[12]Thou hast made the north and the south: Tabor and Hermon do reioyce in thy name[13]Thou hast a mightie arme: thy hand is strong, and thy right hand is exalted[14]Iustice and iudgement is the foundation of thy throne: mercy and trueth shall go before thy face[15]Blessed is the people that knoweth a triumphant noyse: O God, they shall walke in the light of thy countenaunce[16]They shall make them selues merie dayly in thy name: and in thy righteousnes they shall exalt them selues[17]For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy louing kindnes thou wylt lift vp our hornes[18]For our shielde is of God: and our king is of the most holy of Israel[19]Thou hast spoken somtimes in visions vnto thy saintes: and hast sayde, I haue added ayde vpon the mightie, I haue exalted one chose out of the people[20]I haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: I haue annoynted him with myne holye oyle[21]Therfore my hande shalbe assured vnto him: and mine arme shall strengthen hym[22]The enemie shal not be able to do him violence: the sonne of wickednesse shall not afflict hym[23]I wyll breake into peeces his foes before his face: and ouerthrowe them that hate hym[24]My trueth also and my mercy shalbe with hym: and in my name shall his horne be exalted[25]I wyll set also his dominion in the sea: and his right hande in the fluddes[26]He shall make inuocation vnto me: [saying] thou art my father O my God, and my fortresse of saluation[27]And I will make him my first borne: in higher state then kinges of the earth[28]My mercy wyll I kepe for hym euermore: and my couenaunt shal stand fast with hym[29]His seede also wyll I make to endure for euer: and his throne as the dayes of heauen[30](89:30a) But if his chyldren forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgement[31](89:30b) if they breake my statutes, and kepe not my commaundementes[32](89:31) I will then visite their transgressions with a rodde: and their wickednesse with stripes[33](89:32) Neuerthelesse, my louyng kyndnesse I wyll not take vtterly from hym: I wyl not breake my promise with hym[34](89:33) I wyll not violate my couenaunt: nor alter the thyng that is gone out of my lyppes[35](89:34) I haue sworne once by my holynesse: that I wyll not speake an vntrueth vnto Dauid[36](89:35) His seede shall endure for euer: and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me[37](89:36) [And] as the moone which shall continue for euermore: and shalbe a faithful witnesse in heauen. Selah[38](89:37) But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him[39](89:38) Thou hast broken the couenaunt of thy seruaunt: thou hast disgraced his crowne, [castyng it] on the grounde[40](89:39) Thou hast ouerthrowe all his walles: and broken downe his strong holdes[41](89:40) All they that go by the way spoyle hym: he is become a rebuke vnto his neyghbours[42](89:41) Thou hast exalted the ryght hande of his enemies: and made all his aduersaries to reioyce[43](89:42) Thou hast turned the harde edge of his sworde: and thou hast not lifted him vp in the battayle[44](89:43) Thou hast brought his noble estate to an ende: and hast cast his throne downe to the grounde[45](89:44) Thou hast shortened the dayes of his youth: and thou hast couered him with shame. Selah[46](89:45) O God howe long wylt thou hyde thy selfe? for euer? shall thy wrath burne lyke fire[47](89:46) Remember what I am, howe short my tyme is of lyfe: wherfore hast thou created in vayne all the sonnes of men[48](89:47) What man is he that lyueth and shall not see death? can he delyuer his owne soule from the hande of hell? Selah[49](89:48) Lorde where are become thy former olde louyng kyndnesses: [which] thou dydst sweare vnto Dauid by thy fayth [that thou wouldest perfourme.[50](89:49) Remember O Lorde the dishonour of thy seruauntes: I beare in my bosome [the dishonour of] all people that be mightie[51](89:50) Who beyng thine enemies O God do dishonour: who do dishonour the footsteppes of thine annoynted[52](89:51) Blessed be God for euermore: so be it, and so be it
