2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy

7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise,
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our

19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the
