- 1:02Speaker 1: You have broken Rahab in pieces like one of the slain.
- 1:06Speaker 1: You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The
- 1:09Speaker 1: heavens are yours. The earth also is yours. The world
- 1:13Speaker 1: and its fullness, you have founded them. The north and
- 1:16Speaker 1: the south, you have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice
- 1:19Speaker 1: in your name. You have a mighty arm. Your hand
- 1:23Speaker 1: is strong and your right hand is exalted. Righteousness and
- 1:26Speaker 1: justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and

- 1:33Speaker 1: learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of
- 1:36Speaker 1: your presence, Yahweh. IN YOUR NAME THEY REJOICE ALL DAY,

- 1:53Speaker 1: VISION TO YOUR SAINTS AND SAID, I HAVE BESTOWED STRENGTH
- 1:57Speaker 1: ON THE WARRIOR, I HAVE EXALTED A YOUNG MAN FROM
- 1:59Speaker 1: THE PEOPLE. I HAVE FOUND DAVID MY SERVANT, I HAVE
- 2:03Speaker 1: ANOINTED HIM WITH MY HOLY OIL. with whom my hand
- 2:06Speaker 1: shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him. No
- 2:10Speaker 1: enemy will tax him, no wicked man will oppress him.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike
- 2:16Speaker 1: those who hate him. But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness
- 2:20Speaker 1: will be with him. In my name his horn will
- 2:23Speaker 1: be exalted. I will set his hand also on the sea,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and his right hand on the rivers. HE WILL CALL
- 2:29Speaker 1: TO ME, YOU ARE MY FATHER, MY GOD AND THE
- 2:32Speaker 1: ROCK OF MY SALVATION. I WILL ALSO APPOINT HIM MY FIRSTBORN,
- 2:36Speaker 1: THE HIGHEST OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. I WILL
- 2:39Speaker 1: KEEP MY LOVINGKINDNESS FOR HIM FOREVERMORE. MY COVENANT WILL STAND
- 2:42Speaker 1: FIRM WITH HIM. I WILL ALSO MAKE HIS SEED ENDURE
- 2:46Speaker 1: FOREVER AND HIS THRONE AS THE DAYS OF HEAVEN. If
- 2:49Speaker 1: his children forsake my law and don't walk in my ordinances,
- 2:53Speaker 1: if they break my statutes and don't keep my commandments,
- 2:57Speaker 1: then I will punish their sin with the rod and
- 2:59Speaker 1: their iniquity with stripes. But I will not completely take
- 3:02Speaker 1: away my lovingkindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my
- 3:10Speaker 1: lips have uttered. Once have I sworn by my holiness,
- 3:13Speaker 1: I will not lie to David. His seed will endure forever,
- 3:17Speaker 1: his throne like the sun before me. It will be
- 3:20Speaker 1: established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.
- 3:25Speaker 1: But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry
- 3:28Speaker 1: with your anointed. You have renounced the covenant of your servant.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You have defiled his crown in the dust. You have
- 3:34Speaker 1: broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds
- 3:37Speaker 1: to ruin. All who pass by the way rob him.
- 3:40Speaker 1: He has become a reproach to his neighbors. You have
- 3:43Speaker 1: exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made
- 3:46Speaker 1: all of his enemies rejoice. YES, YOU TURN BACK THE
- 3:49Speaker 1: EDGE OF HIS SWORD AND HAVEN'T SUPPORTED HIM IN BATTLE.
- 3:53Speaker 1: YOU HAVE ENDED HIS SPLENDOR AND THROWN HIS THRONE DOWN
- 3:55Speaker 1: TO THE GROUND. YOU HAVE SHORTENED THE DAYS OF HIS YOUTH.
- 3:59Speaker 1: YOU HAVE COVERED HIM WITH SHAME. HOW LONG, YAHWEH? WILL
- 4:02Speaker 1: YOU HIDE YOURSELF FOREVER? WILL YOUR WRATH BURN LIKE FIRE?
- 4:06Speaker 1: REMEMBER HOW SHORT MY TIME IS, FOR WHAT VANITY HAVE
- 4:10Speaker 1: YOU CREATED ALL THE CHILDREN OF MEN? What man is
- 4:13Speaker 1: he who shall live and not see death, who shall
- 4:16Speaker 1: deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Lord, where
- 4:20Speaker 1: are your former lovingkindnesses, which you swore to David in
- 4:23Speaker 1: your faithfulness? Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how
- 4:28Speaker 1: I bear in my heart the taunts of all the
- 4:30Speaker 1: mighty peoples, with which your enemies have mocked Yahweh, with
- 4:34Speaker 1: which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen and Amen.
