st subdued Egypt, and destroyed it: thou hast scattered
thine enemies abroad with thy mighty arm.

12 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast
laid the foundation of the round world, and all that therein is.

13 Thou hast made the north and the south: Tabor and Hermon shall
rejoice in thy Name.

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

15 Righteousness and equity are the habitation of thy seat: mercy
and truth shall go before thy face.

16 Blessed is the people, O Lord, that can rejoice in thee: they
shall walk in the light of thy countenance.

17 Their delight shall be daily in thy Name: and in thy righteousness
shall they make their boast.

18 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy
loving-kindness thou shalt lift up our horns.

19 For the Lord is our defence: the Holy One of Israel is our King.

shall his horn be exalted.

in the floods.

27 He shall call me, Thou art my Father: my God, and my strong
salvation.

28 And I will make him my first-born: higher than the kings of
the earth.

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

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

31 But if his children forsake my law: and walk not in my judgements;

32 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments: I
will visit their offences with the rod, and their sin with scourges.

33 Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from
him: nor suffer my truth to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone
out of my lips: I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not
fail David.

35 His seed shall endure for ever: and his seat is like as the
sun before me.

36 He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon: and as the
