^2 (C)Let Israel now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
³ Let the house of Aaron now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
⁴ Let those who fear the Lord now say,
“His mercy endures forever.”

^5 (D)I called on the Lord in distress;
The Lord answered me and ^(E)set me in a broad place.
^6 (F)The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?
^7 (G)The Lord is for me among those who help me;
Therefore ^(H)I shall see my desire on those who hate me.
^8 (I)It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man.
^9 (J)It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰ All nations surrounded me,
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
¹¹ They ^(K)surrounded me,
Yes, they surrounded me;
But in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
¹² They surrounded me ^(L)like bees;
They were quenched ^(M)like a fire of thorns;
For in the name of the Lord I will ^[a]destroy them.
¹³ You pushed me violently, that I might fall,
But the Lord helped me.
^14 (N)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.

¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Is in the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
^16 (O)The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
^17 (P)I shall not die, but live,
And ^(Q)declare the works of the Lord.
¹⁸ The Lord has ^(R)chastened^[b] me severely,
But He has not given me over to death.

^19 (S)Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
^20 (T)This is the gate of the Lord,
^(U)Through which the righteous shall enter.

²¹ I will praise You,
For You have ^(V)answered me,
And have become my salvation.

^22 (W)The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
^23 [c]This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
²⁴ This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ Save now, I pray, O Lord;
O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
^26 (X)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.
²⁷ God is the Lord,
And He has given us ^(Y)light;
Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
²⁸ You are my God, and I will praise You;
^(Z)You are my God, I will exalt You.

²⁹ Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

^3 (F)Your people shall be volunteers
In the day of Your power;
^(G)In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,
You have the dew of Your youth.
⁴ The Lord has sworn
And ^(H)will not relent,
“You are a ^(I)priest forever
According to the order of ^(J)Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is ^(K)at Your right hand;
He shall ^[a]execute kings ^(L)in the day of His wrath.
⁶ He shall judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
^(M)He shall ^[b]execute the heads of many countries.
⁷ He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;
^(N)Therefore He shall lift up the head.

⁴ He who sits in the heavens ^(F)shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
⁵ Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
⁶ “Yet I have ^[e]set My King
^[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

⁷ “I will declare the ^[g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
^(G)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
⁸ Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
^9 (H)You shall ^[h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

¹⁰ Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
^12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest ^[j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When ^(I)His wrath is kindled but a little.
^(J)Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

³ The floods have ^[b]lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
^4 (D)The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

⁵ Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness adorns Your house,
O Lord, ^[c]forever.

² You are fairer than the sons of men;
^(B)Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.
^3 [d]Gird Your ^(C)sword upon Your thigh, ^(D)O Mighty One,
With Your ^(E)glory and Your majesty.
^4 (F)And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
⁵ Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies;
The peoples fall under You.

^6 (G)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A ^(H)scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has ^(I)anointed You
With the oil of ^(J)gladness more than Your companions.
⁸ All Your garments are ^(K)scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
^9 (L)Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;
^(M)At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

¹⁰ Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
^(N)Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
¹¹ So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
^(O)Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
¹² And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
^(P)The rich among the people will seek your favor.

¹³ The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold.
^14 (Q)She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
¹⁵ With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King’s palace.

¹⁶ Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
^(R)Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
^17 (S)I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
