88A Psalm of instruction for Ætham the Israelite.

2I will sing of thy mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare thy truth with my mouth to all generations. 3For thou hast said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy truth shall be established in the heavens. 4I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware unto David my servant. 5I will [fn]establish thy seed for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Pause.

6The heavens shall declare thy wonders, O Lord; and thy truth in the assembly of the saints. 7For who in the [fn]heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God? 8God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him. 9O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee. 10Thou rulest the power of the sea; and thou calmest the tumult of its waves. 11Thou hast brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of thy power thou hast scattered thine enemies. 12The heavens are thine, and the earth is thine: thou hast founded the world, and the fulness of it. 13Thou hast created the north and the [fn]west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 14Thine is the mighty arm: let thy hand be strengthened, let thy right hand be exalted. 15Justice and judgment are the establishment of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

16Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance. 17And in thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 18For thou art the boast of their strength; and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted, 19for our help is of the Lord; and of the Holy One of Israel, our king.

20Then thou spokest in vision to thy children, and saidst, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people. 21[ref] I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy [fn]mercy. 22For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him. 23The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again. 24And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him. 25But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 26And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 27He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation. 28And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. 29I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant shall be firm with him. 30And I will establish his seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

31If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 32if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments; 33I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges. 34But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth. 35Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips. 36Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David. 37His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me; 38and as the moon that is established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven. Pause.

39But thou hast cast off and set at nought, thou hast rejected thine anointed. 40Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his sanctuary, casting it to the ground. 41Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast made his strong holds a terror. 42All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours. 43Thou hast exalted the right hand of his enemies; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 44Thou hast turned back the help of his sword, and hast not helped him in the battle. 45Thou hast deprived him of [fn]glory: thou hast broken down his throne to the ground. 46Thou hast shortened the days of his [fn]throne: thou hast poured shame upon him. Pause.

47How long, O Lord, wilt thou turn away, for ever? shall thine anger flame out as fire? 48Remember what my being is: for hast thou created all the sons of men in vain? 49What man is there who shall live, and not see death? shall any one deliver his soul from the hand of Hades? Pause. 50Where are thine ancient mercies, O Lord, which thou swarest to David in thy truth? 51Remember, O Lord, the reproach of thy servants, which I have borne in my bosom, even the reproach of many nations; 52wherewith thine enemies have reviled, O Lord: wherewith they have reviled the recompence of thine anointed. 53Blessed be the Lord for ever. So be it, so be it.
