  Speaker 1: will sing of the loving kindness of Yahweh forever. With
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I indeed declare love stands firm forever you establish the heavens,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Your faithfulness is in them. I have made a covenant
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: with my chosen one. I have sworn to David, my servant.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I will establish your seed forever and build up your
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: throne to all generations. The heavens will praise your wonders, Yahweh,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: your faithfulness also in the assembly of the Holy Ones.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a very awesome God in the council of the Holy Ones,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be feared above all those who are around him. Yahweh,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: God of Host, who is a mighty one like you, Ya,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Your faithfulness is around you. You rule the pride of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You have broken Raehab in pieces like one of the slain.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: heavens are yours. The earth also is yours. The world
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and its fullness. You have founded them the north and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the south. You have created them. Tabor and Hermann rejoice
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in your name. You have a mighty arm. Your hand
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is strong, and your right hand is exalted. Righteousness and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Go before your face. Blessed are the people who learned
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in your name. They rejoice all day in your righteousness.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: They are exalted for you are the glory of their strength.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: In your favor, our horn will be exalted, for our
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: shield belongs to Yahweh. Are keen to the Holy One
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of Israel. Then you spoke in vision to your saints
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and said, I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: have exalted a young man from the people. I have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: found David my servant. I have anointed him with my
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: holy oil, with whom my hands shall be established. My
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: arm will also strengthen him. No enemy will tax him,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: no wicked man will oppress him. I will beat down
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: In my name, his horn will be exalted. I will
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: set his hand also on the sea, and his right
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hand on the rivers. He will call to me, you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: are my Father, my God, in the rock of my salvation.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I will also appoint him my first born, the highest
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the kings of the earth. I will keep my
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: loving kindness for him for evermore. My covenant will stand
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: firm with him. I will also make his seed endure forever,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and his throne is the days of heaven. If his
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: children forsake my law and don't walk in my ordinances,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: if they break my statutes and don't keep my commandments,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: then I will punish their sin with the rod and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: their iniquid with stripes. But I will not completely take
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: away my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to fail. I will not break my covenant, nor alter
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what my lips have uttered. Once have I sworn by
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: my holiness, I will not lie to David. His seed
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It will be established forever, like the moon, the fateful
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: witness in the sky. But you have rejected and spurned,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You have been angry with your anointed. You have renounced
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in the dust. You have broken down all his hedges.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: You have brought his strongholds to ruin. All who pass
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: by the way rob him. He has become a reproach
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to his neighbors. You have exalted the right hand of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice. Yes,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you turn back the edge of his sword, And having
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: supported him in battle, you have ended his splendor and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: thrown his throne down to the ground. You have shortened
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the days of his youth. You have covered him when shame.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: How long, Yahweh, will you hide yourself? Forever? Will your
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: For what vanity have you created all the children of men?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: What man is he who shall live and not see death?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Who shall deliver his soul from the power of shield? Lord?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Where are your former loving kindnesses which you swore to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: David in your faithfulness? Remember Lord, the reproach of your servants.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: How I bear in my heart the taunts of all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the mighty peoples with which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointing one.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Blessed be Yahweh for evermore, Amen and Amen.
