“I have made a covenant with (A)My chosen;
I have (B)sworn to My servant David,
I will establish your [a](C)descendants forever
And build up your (D)throne to all generations.” Selah

The (E)heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord;
Your faithfulness also (F)in the assembly of the (G)holy ones.
For (H)who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the [b](I)sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
A God (J)greatly feared in the council of the (K)holy ones,
And (L)awesome above all those who are around Him?
Lord God of armies, (M)who is like You, mighty [c]Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
You rule the surging of the sea;
When its waves rise, You (N)calm them.
10 You Yourself crushed [d](O)Rahab like one who is slain;
You (P)scattered Your enemies with [e]Your mighty arm.

11 The (Q)heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The (R)world and [f]all it contains, You have established them.
12 The (S)north and the south, You have created them;
(T)Tabor and (U)Hermon (V)shout for joy at Your name.
13 You have [g]a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your (W)right hand is exalted.
14 (X)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
(Y)Mercy and [h]truth go before You.
15 Blessed are the people who know the [i](Z)joyful sound!
Lord, they walk in the (AA)light of Your face.
16 In (AB)Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of (AC)their strength,
And by Your favor [j]our (AD)horn is exalted.
18 For our (AE)shield belongs to the Lord,
[k]And our king to the (AF)Holy One of Israel.

19 [l]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly [m]ones,
And said, “I have [n]given help to one who is (AG)mighty;
I have exalted one (AH)chosen from the people.
20 I have (AI)found My servant David;
With My holy (AJ)oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom (AK)My hand will be established;
My arm also will (AL)strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not [o]deceive him,
Nor will the [p](AM)son of wickedness afflict him.
23 But I will (AN)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
24 My (AO)faithfulness and My favor will be with him,
And in My name his (AP)horn will be exalted.
25 I will also place his hand (AQ)on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are (AR)my Father,
My God, and the (AS)rock of my salvation.’
27 I will also make him My (AT)firstborn,
The (AU)highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will maintain My (AV)favor for him forever,
And My (AW)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
29 So I will establish his [q](AX)descendants forever,
And his (AY)throne (AZ)as the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons (BA)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [r]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the (BB)rod,
And their guilt with [s]afflictions.
33 But I will not [t]withhold (BC)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 I will not [u]violate My (BD)covenant,
Nor will I (BE)alter [v]the utterance of My lips.
35 [w]Once I have (BF)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His [x](BG)descendants shall endure forever,
And his (BH)throne (BI)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (BJ)like the moon,
And a (BK)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah

38 But You have (BL)rejected and (BM)refused,
You have been full of wrath [y]against Your (BN)anointed.
39 You have [z](BO)repudiated the covenant of Your servant;
You have (BP)profaned (BQ)his crown [aa]in the dust.
40 You have (BR)broken down all his walls;
You have (BS)brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 (BT)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (BU)disgrace to his neighbors.
42 You have (BV)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (BW)made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword,
And have (BX)not made him stand in battle.
44 You have put an end to his [ab](BY)splendor
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (BZ)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (CA)covered him with shame. Selah

46 (CB)How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (CC)wrath burn like fire?
47 (CD)Remember [ac]what my lifespan is;
For what (CE)futility [ad]You have created all the sons of mankind!
48 What man can live and not (CF)see death?
Can he (CG)save his soul from the [ae]power of [af]Sheol? Selah

49 Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,
Which You (CH)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, the (CI)taunt against Your servants;
[ag]How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
51 With which (CJ)Your enemies have taunted, Lord,
With which they have taunted the footsteps of (CK)Your anointed.

52 (CL)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.

You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
    I have sworn to David my servant,
‘I will establish your line forever
    and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[a](A)

The heavens(B) praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly(C) of the holy ones.
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(D)
In the council(E) of the holy ones(F) God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.(G)
Who is like you,(H) Lord God Almighty?(I)
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

You rule over the surging sea;
    when its waves mount up, you still them.(J)
10 You crushed Rahab(K) like one of the slain;
    with your strong arm you scattered(L) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(M) and yours also the earth;(N)
    you founded the world and all that is in it.(O)
12 You created the north and the south;
    Tabor(P) and Hermon(Q) sing for joy(R) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
    your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(S)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(T)
    love and faithfulness go before you.(U)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
    who walk(V) in the light(W) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(X) all day long;
    they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(Y)
    and by your favor you exalt our horn.[b](Z)
18 Indeed, our shield[c](AA) belongs to the Lord,
    our king(AB) to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David(AC) my servant;(AD)
    with my sacred oil(AE) I have anointed(AF) him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.(AG)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(AH)
    the wicked will not oppress(AI) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(AJ)
    and strike down his adversaries.(AK)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(AL)
    and through my name his horn[d] will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.(AM)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(AN)
    my God, the Rock(AO) my Savior.’(AP)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(AQ)
    the most exalted(AR) of the kings(AS) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.(AT)
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.(AU)

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;(AV)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(AW)
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.(AX)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;(AY)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”(AZ)

38 But you have rejected,(BA) you have spurned,
    you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
    and have defiled his crown in the dust.(BB)
40 You have broken through all his walls(BC)
    and reduced his strongholds(BD) to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered(BE) him;
    he has become the scorn of his neighbors.(BF)
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.(BG)
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
    and have not supported him in battle.(BH)
44 You have put an end to his splendor
    and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short(BI) the days of his youth;
    you have covered him with a mantle of shame.(BJ)

46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
    How long will your wrath burn like fire?(BK)
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.(BL)
    For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 Who can live and not see death,
    or who can escape the power of the grave?(BM)
49 Lord, where is your former great love,
    which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has[e] been mocked,(BN)
    how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,
    with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.(BO)

52 Praise be to the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.(BP)

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.

16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

46 How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

For a (A)Child will be born to us, a (B)Son will be given to us;
And the (C)government will [a]rest (D)on His shoulders;
And His name will be called (E)Wonderful Counselor, (F)Mighty God,
Eternal (G)Father, Prince of (H)Peace.
There will be (I)no end to the increase of His government or of peace
On the (J)throne of David and over [b]his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with (K)justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
(L)The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this.

God’s Anger with Israel’s Arrogance

The Lord sends a [c]message against Jacob,
And it falls on Israel.
And all the people know it,
That is, (M)Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in (N)arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will (O)rebuild with smooth stones;
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore the Lord raises superior adversaries against them from (P)Rezin
And provokes their enemies,
12 The Arameans from the east and the (Q)Philistines from the west;
And they (R)devour Israel with [d]gaping jaws.
(S)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.

13 Yet the people (T)do not turn back to Him who struck them,
Nor do they (U)seek the Lord of armies.
14 So the Lord cuts off (V)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush (W)in a single day.
15 The head is (X)the elder and esteemed man,
And the prophet who teaches (Y)falsehood is the tail.
16 (Z)For those who guide this people are leading them astray;
And those who are guided by them are [e]confused.
17 Therefore the Lord does (AA)not rejoice over their young men,
(AB)Nor does He have compassion on their [f]orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is (AC)godless and an (AD)evildoer,
And every (AE)mouth is speaking foolishness.
(AF)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.

18 (AG)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It also sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the (AH)wrath of the Lord of armies the (AI)land is burned,
And the (AJ)people are like fuel for the fire;
No (AK)one spares his brother.
20 [g]They devour what is on the right hand but are still (AL)hungry,
And [h]they eat what is on the left hand, but they are not satisfied;
Each of them eats the (AM)flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
(AN)And together they are against Judah.
(AO)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

The Lord’s Anger Against Israel

The Lord has sent a message(R) against Jacob;
    it will fall on Israel.
All the people will know it—
    Ephraim(S) and the inhabitants of Samaria(T)
who say with pride
    and arrogance(U) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
    but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(V)
the fig(W) trees have been felled,
    but we will replace them with cedars.(X)
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(Y) foes against them
    and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(Z) from the east and Philistines(AA) from the west
    have devoured(AB) Israel with open mouth.

Yet for all this, his anger(AC) is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(AD)

13 But the people have not returned(AE) to him who struck(AF) them,
    nor have they sought(AG) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
    both palm branch and reed(AH) in a single day;(AI)
15 the elders(AJ) and dignitaries(AK) are the head,
    the prophets(AL) who teach lies(AM) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(AN) this people mislead them,
    and those who are guided are led astray.(AO)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(AP)
    nor will he pity(AQ) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(AR) and wicked,(AS)
    every mouth speaks folly.(AT)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(AU)

18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(AV)
    it consumes briers and thorns,(AW)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(AX)
    so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(AY) of the Lord Almighty
    the land will be scorched(AZ)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(BA)
    they will not spare one another.(BB)
20 On the right they will devour,
    but still be hungry;(BC)
on the left they will eat,(BD)
    but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21     Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(BE)
    together they will turn against Judah.(BF)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(BG)

  1. Isaiah 9:20 Or arm

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.

14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
