1 O Lord, Thou art our King for ever and ever, For in Thee, O God, doth our soul glory. (PSS) 2 How long are the days of man's life upon the earth? As are his days, so is the hope set upon him. (PSS) 3 But we hope in God, our deliverer; (PSS) 4 For the might of our God is for ever with mercy, And the kingdom of our God is for ever over the nations in judgement. (PSS) 5 Thou, O Lord, didst choose David to be king over Israel, And swaredst to him touching his seed that never should his kingdom fail before Thee. (PSS) 6 But, for our sins, sinners rose up against us; They assailed us and thrust us out; What Thou hadst not promised to them, they took away from us with violence. (PSS) 7 They in no wise glorified Thy honourable name; They set a worldly monarchy in place of that which was their excellency; They laid waste the throne of David in tumultuous arrogance. (PSS) 8 But Thou, O God, didst cast them down, and remove their seed from the earth, In that there rose up against them a man that was alien to our race. (PSS) 9 According to their sins didst Thou recompense them, O God; So that it befell them according to their deeds. (PSS) 10 God showed them no pity; He sought out their seed and let not one of them go free. (PSS) 11 Faithful is the Lord in all His judgements Which He doeth upon the earth. (PSS) 12 The lawless one laid waste our land so that none inhabited it, They destroyed young and old and their children together. (PSS) 13 In the heat of His anger He sent them away even unto the west, And He exposed the rulers of the land unsparingly to derision. (PSS) 14 Being an alien the enemy acted proudly, And his heart was alien from Our God. (PSS) 15 And all things whatsoever he did in Jerusalem, As also the nations in the cities to their gods. (PSS) 16 And the children of the covenant in the midst of the mingled peoples surpassed them in evil. There was not among them one that wrought in the midst of Jerusalem mercy and truth. (PSS) 17 They that loved the synagogues of the pious fled from them, As sparrows that fly from their nest. (PSS) 18 They wandered in deserts that their lives might be saved from harm, And precious in the eyes of them that lived abroad was any that escaped alive from them. Over the whole earth were they scattered by lawless men. (PSS) 19 For the heavens withheld the rain from dropping upon the earth, Springs were stopped that sprang perennially out of the deeps, that ran down from lofty mountains. (PSS) 20 For there was none among them that wrought righteousness and justice; From the chief of them to the least of them all were sinful; The king was a transgressor, and the judge disobedient, and the people sinful. (PSS) 21 Behold, O Lord, and raise up unto them their king, the son of David, At the time in the which Thou sees… (PSS)
