Misericordias Domini.
1
My song shall be alway of the loving-
|
kindness • of the
|
Lord;
||
with my mouth will I ever be showing thy truth from
|
one • gener-
|
ation • to an-
|
other.
||
2
For I have said, Mercy shall be set
|
up for
|
ever;
||
thy
|
truth • shalt thou
|
stablish • in the
|
heavens.
||
3
I have made a
|
covenant • with my
|
chosen;
||
I have
|
sworn • unto
|
3
David my
|
servant:
||
4
Thy seed will I
|
3
stablish for
|
ever,
||
and set up thy throne from
|
one • gener-
|
ation • to an-
|
other.
||
5
O Lord, the very heavens shall praise thy
|
wondrous
|
works;
||
and thy truth in the congre-
|
gation
|
of the
|
saints.
||
6
For who is he among the clouds, that shall be com-
|
pared un•to the
|
Lord?
||
7
And what is he among the
|
gods, that • shall be
|
like un•to the
|
Lord?
||
8
God is very greatly to be feared in the
|
council • of the
|
saints,
||
and to be had in reverence of all
|
3
them that
•
are
|
round a-
|
bout him.
||
9
O Lord God of hosts, who is
|
like • unto
|
thee?
||
thy truth, most mighty
|
Lord, • is on
|
ever•y
|
side.
||
10
Thou rulest the
|
raging • of the
|
sea;
||
thou stillest the
|
waves there•of
|
3
when they
•
a-
|
rise.
||
11
Thou hast subdued
|
Egypt, • and de-
|
stroyed it;
||
thou hast scattered thine enemies a-
|
broad • with thy
|
mighty
|
arm.
||
12
The heavens are thine, the earth
|
3
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 re-
|
3
joice in
•
thy
|
Name.
||
14
Thou hast a
|
mighty
|
arm;
||
strong is thy
|
hand, and
|
3
high is
•
thy
|
right hand.
||
15
Righteousness and equity are the habi-
|
tation • of thy
|
seat;
||
mercy and
|
truth shall
|
go be•fore thy
|
face.
||
16
Blessed is the people, O
|
Lord, that • can re-
|
joice in • thee;
||
they shall
|
walk • in the
|
3
light of
•
thy
|
counte•nance.
||
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
|
3
lift up
•
our
|
horns.
||
19
For the
|
Lord is • our de-
|
fence;
||
the Holy One of
|
Isra•el
|
is our
|
King.
||
20
Thou spakest sometime in visions unto thy
|
saints, and
|
saidst,
||
I have laid help upon one that is mighty, * I have exalted one
|
chosen
|
3
out of
•
the
|
people.
||
21
I have found
|
3
David my
|
servant;
||
with my holy
|
oil have
|
I a-
|
nointed • him.
||
22
My hand shall hold him fast, and my
|
arm shall
|
strengthen • him.
||
23
The enemy shall not be able to do him violence; * the son of
|
3
wickedness
|
shall not
|
hurt him.
||
24
I will smite down his
|
foes be•fore his
|
face,
||
and
|
plague
|
them that
|
hate him.
||
25
My truth also and my
|
mercy • shall be
|
with him;
||
and in my
|
Name • shall his
|
horn • be ex-
|
alted.
||
26
I will set his dominion
|
also • in the
|
sea,
||
and his
|
right hand
|
in the
|
floods.
||
27
He shall call me,
|
3
Thou art
•
my
|
Father,
||
my
|
God, • and my
|
strong sal-
|
vation.
||
28
And I will make him my firstborn, * higher than the
|
kings • of the
|
earth.
||
29
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, * and my
|
3
covenant
|
shall stand
|
fast • with him.
||
30
His seed also will I make to en-
|
dure for
|
ever,
||
and his
|
throne • as the
|
days of
|
heaven.
||
31
But if his children for-
|
sake my
|
law,
||
and
|
walk not
|
in my
|
judgments;
||
32
If they break my statutes, and
|
keep not • my com-
|
mandments;
||
I will visit their offences with the
|
rod, • and their
|
sin with
|
scourges.
||
33
Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not
|
3
utterly
|
take • from him,
||
nor
|
3
suffer my
|
truth to
|
fail.
||
34
My covenant will I not break, * nor alter the thing that is gone
|
3
out of
•
my
|
lips:
||
I have sworn once by my holiness,
3
that
|
I will
|
not fail
|
David.
||
35
His seed shall endure for ever, * and his seat is like as the
|
sun be-
|
fore me.
||
36
He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon, * and as the
|
faithful
|
3
witness in
|
heaven.
||
35
His seed shall endure for ever, * and his throne is like as the
|
sun be-
|
fore me.
||
36
He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon, * and as the
|
faithful
|
3
witness in
|
heaven.
||
37
But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine anointed, *
3
and
|
art dis-
|
pleased • at him.
||
38
Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, * and
|
cast his
|
crown • to the
|
ground.
||
39
Thou hast over
-
3
thrown
|
all his
|
hedges,
||
and
|
broken
|
down his
|
strongholds.
||
40
All
|
they that go • by
|
spoil him,
||
and he is be-
|
come • a re-
|
proach • to his
|
neighbours.
||
41
Thou hast set up the
|
right hand • of his
|
ene•mies,
||
and made all his
|
adver•saries
|
to re-
|
joice.
||
42
Thou hast taken away the
|
3
edge of
•
his
|
sword,
||
and givest him not
|
victor•y
|
in the
|
battle.
||
43
Thou hast put
|
out his
|
glory,
||
and cast his
|
throne
|
down • to the
|
ground.
||
44
The days of his
|
youth • hast thou
|
shortened,
||
and
|
3
covered him
|
with dis-
|
honour.
||
45
Lord, how long wilt thou
|
hide thy•self, for
|
ever?
||
and shall thy
|
wrath
|
burn like
|
fire?
||
45
Lord, how long wilt thou
|
hide thy•self? for
|
ever?
||
and shall thy
|
wrath
|
burn like
|
fire?
||
46
O remember how
|
short my
|
time is;
||
wherefore hast thou
|
made all
|
men for
|
nought?
||
47
What man is he that liveth, and shall
|
not see
|
death?
||
and shall he deliver his
|
soul • from the
|
hand of
|
hell?
||
47
What man is he that liveth, and shall
|
not see
|
death?
||
and shall he deliver his
|
soul • from the
|
power • of the
|
grave?
||
48
Lord, where are thy
|
old • loving-
|
kindness•es,
||
which thou
|
swarest • unto
|
David • in thy
|
truth?
||
49
Remember, Lord, the re-
|
buke • that thy
|
servants • have,
||
and how I do bear in my bosom the re-
|
bukes of
|
many
|
people;
||
50
Wherewith thine
|
enemies • have blas-
|
phemed thee,
||
and slandered the
|
3
footsteps of
|
thine a-
|
nointed.
||
Praised be the
|
Lord for • ever-
|
more.
||
A-
|
men, and

A- —
|
men.

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
