I will sing of the loving kindness of Jehovah forever. With my mouth I will make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

2 quoniam dixisti in aeternum misericordia aedificabitur in caelis praeparabitur veritas tua in eis;

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever. Thy faithfulness thou will establish in the very heavens.

3 disposui testamentum electis meis iuravi David servo meo

I have made a covenant with my chosen. I have sworn to David my servant:

4 usque in aeternum praeparabo semen tuum et aedificabo in generationem et generationem sedem tuam diapsalma

Thy seed I will establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)

5 confitebuntur caeli mirabilia tua Domine etenim veritatem tuam in ecclesia sanctorum

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah, thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the sanctified.

6 quoniam quis in nubibus aequabitur Domino similis erit Domino in filiis Dei

For who in the clouds can be compared to Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like Jehovah,

18 quia Domini est adsumptio nostra; et Sancti Israhel regis nostri

For our shield belongs to Jehovah, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 tunc locutus es in visione sanctis tuis et dixisti posui adiutorium in potentem exaltavi electum de plebe mea

Then thou spoke in a vision to thy sanctified, and said, I have laid help upon a mighty man. I have exalted a chosen man out of the people.

49 ubi sunt misericordiae tuae antiquae Domine sicut iurasti David in veritate tua

Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swore to David in thy faithfulness?

50 memor esto Domine obprobrii servorum tuorum quod continui in sinu meo multarum gentium
