Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My songe shal be allwaye of the louynge kyndnesse of the LORDE, wt my mouth wil I euer be shewinge thy faithfulnesse fro one generacion to another. ² For I haue sayde: mercy shal be set vp for euer, thy faithfulnesse shalt thou stablish in the heauens. ³ I haue made a couenaunt with my chosen, I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruaunt. ⁴ Thy sede wil I stablish for euer, and set vp thy Trone from one generacion to another. ⁵ Sela. O LORDE, the very heaues shal prayse thy wonderous workes, yee & thy faithfulnes in ye congregacion of the sayntes. ⁶ For who is he amonge the cloudes, that maye be copared vnto the LORDE? ⁷ Yee what is he amonge the goddes, that is like vnto the LORDE? ⁸ God is greatly to be feared in the councell of the sayntes, & to be had in reuerence of all the that are aboute him. ⁹ O LORDE God of hoostes, who is like vnto the in power? thy trueth is rounde aboute the. ¹⁰ Thou rulest the pryde of the see, thou stillest the wawes therof, whe they arise. ¹¹ Thou breakest the proude, like one that is wounded, thou scatrest thine enemies abrode with thy mightie arme. ¹² The heaues are thine, the earth is thine: thou hast layed the foundacio of the roude worlde and all that therin is. ¹³ Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon shal reioyse in thy name. ¹⁴ Thou hast a mightie arme, stronge is thy hande, and hye is thy right hande. ¹⁵ Rightuousnes and equite is the habitacion of thy seate, mercy and trueth go before thy face. ¹⁶ Blessed is the people (o LORDE) that can reioyse in the, and walketh in the light of thy countenaunce. ¹⁷ Their delite is in thy name all the daye longe, and thorow thy rightuousnesse they shalbe exalted. ¹⁸ For thou art the glory of their strength, & thorow thy fauoure shalt thou lift vp oure hornes. ¹⁹ The LORDE is oure defence, and the holy one of Israel is oure kynge. ²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in visios vnto thy sayntes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is mightie, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people. ²¹ I haue founde Dauid my seruaut, with my holy oyle haue I anoynted him. ²² My honde shal holde him fast, and my arme shal strength him. ²³ The enemie shal not ouercome him, and the sonne of wickednesse shal not hurte him. ²⁴ I shal smyte downe his foes before his face, and plage them that hate him. ²⁵ My trueth also & my mercy shalbe with him, and in my name shal his horne be exalted. ²⁶ I wil set his honde in the see, and his right honde in the floudes. ²⁷ He shal call me: thou art my father, my God, and the strength of my saluacion. ²⁸ And I wil make him my firstborne, hyer then the kinges of the earth. ²⁹ My mercy wil I kepe for him for euermore, and my couenaunt shall stonde fast with him. ³⁰ His sede wil I make to endure for euer, yee and his Trone as the dayes of heauen. ³¹ But yf his childre forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgmentes. ³² Yf they breake myne ordinaunces, and kepe not my commaundementes. ³³ I wil vyset their offences with the rodde, and their synnes with scourges. ³⁴ Neuerthelesse, my louynge kyndnesse wil I not vtterly take from him, ner fuffre my trueth to fayle. ³⁵ My couenaunt wil I not breake, ner disanulle the thinge yt is gone out of my lippes. ³⁶ I haue sworne once by my holynesse, that I wil not fayle Dauid. ³⁷ His sede shal endure for euer, and his seate also like as the Sonne before me. ³⁸ He shal stonde fast for euermore as the Moone, and as the faithfull witnesse in heauen. ³⁹ Sela. But now thou forsakest and abhorrest thyne anoynted, and art displeased at him. ⁴⁰ Thou hast turned backe the couenaunt of thy seruaunt, and cast his crowne to the grounde. ⁴¹ Thou hast ouerthrowne all his hedges, and broke downe his stronge holdes. ⁴² Al they that go by, spoyle him, he is become a rebuke vnto his neghbours. ⁴³ Thou settest vp the right hade of his enemies, and makest all his aduersaryes to reioyse. ⁴⁴ Thou hast taken awaye the strength of his swerde, and geuest him not victory in the battayll. ⁴⁵ Thou hast put out his glory, and cast his Trone downe to the grounde. ⁴⁶ The dayes of his youth hast thou shortened, and couered him with dishonoure. ⁴⁷ Sela. LORDE, how longe wilt thou hyde thy self? For euer? shal thy wrath burne like fyre? ⁴⁸ O remembre how shorte my tyme is, hast thou made all men for naught? ⁴⁹ What man is he that lyueth, and shal not se death? Maye a ma delyuer his owne soule from the honde of hell? ⁵⁰ Sela. LORDE, where are thy olde louynge kyndnesses, which thou sworest vnto Dauid in thy trueth? ⁵¹ Remebre LORDE the rebuke that ye multitude of the people do vnto thy seruauntes, & how I haue borne it in my bosome. ⁵² Wher wt thine enemies blasphemethe, & slauder ye fotesteppes of yi anoynted. Thankes be to the LORDE for euermore: Amen, Amen.
