20 I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.
21 Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.
22 The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.
23 But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.
26 He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.
27 Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.
28 My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.
29 His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.
30 But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:
31 If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:
32 Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.
33 Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.
34 My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,
36 His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.
37 He shalbe established for euermore as the moone, and as a faythfull witnes in the heauen. Selah.
38 But thou hast reiected and abhorred, thou hast bene angry with thine Anoynted.
39 Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant, and profaned his crowne, casting it on the ground.
40 Thou hast broken downe all his walles: thou hast layd his fortresses in ruine.
41 All that goe by the way, spoyle him: he is a rebuke vnto his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies, and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sworde, and hast not made him to stand in the battell.
44 Thou hast caused his dignitie to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.
45 The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned, and couered him with shame. Selah.
46 Lord, howe long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire?
47 Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?
48 What man liueth, and shall not see death? shall hee deliuer his soule from the hande of the graue? Selah.
49 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?
50 Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy seruants, which I beare in my bosome of all the mightie people.
51 For thine enemies haue reproched thee, O Lord, because they haue reproched the footesteps of thine Anointed.
52 Praised be the Lord for euermore. So be it, euen so be it.
