The Lord said unto my Lord  *

Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Sion *

be thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies.

In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free-will offerings with an holy worship *

the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

The Lord sware, and will not repent *

Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech.

The Lord upon thy right hand *

shall wound even kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall judge among the heathen; he shall fill the places with the dead bodies *

and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.

He shall drink of the brook in the way *

therefore shall he lift up his head.

I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart  *

secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.

The works of the Lord are great *

sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour *

and his righteousness endureth for ever.

The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his marvellous works *

that they ought to be had in remembrance.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him *

he shall ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath shewed his people the power of his works *

that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.

The works of his hands are verity and judgement *

all his commandments are true.

They stand fast for ever and ever *

and are done in truth and equity.

He sent redemption unto his people *

he hath commanded his covenant for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom *

a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; the praise of it endureth for ever.

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord  *

he hath great delight in his commandments.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth *

the generation of the faithful shall be blessed.

Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house *

and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness *

he is merciful, loving, and righteous.

A good man is merciful, and lendeth *

and will guide his words with discretion.

For he shall never be moved *

and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.

He will not be afraid of any evil tidings *

for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the Lord.

His heart is established, and will not shrink *

until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor *

and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him *

he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

Praise the Lord, ye servants  *

O praise the Name of the Lord.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord *

from this time forth for evermore.

The Lord’s Name is praised *

from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.

The Lord is high above all heathen *

and his glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high *

and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

He taketh up the simple out of the dust *

and lifteth the poor out of the mire;

That he may set him with the princes *

even with the princes of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house *

and to be a joyful mother of children.
