Let the cosmos praise your wonderful ways, the choir of holy angels sing anthems to your faithful ways!H8064H3034H6382H3068H530H6951H6918 6Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like GOD.H7834H6186H3068H1121H410H1819H3068 7The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him.H410H7227H6206H5475H6918H3372H5439 8GOD of the Angel Armies, who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle?H3068H430H6635H2626H3050H530H5439 9You put the arrogant ocean in its place and calm its waves when they turn unruly.H4910H1348H3220H1530H7721H7623 10You gave that old hag Egypt the back of your hand, you brushed off your enemies with a flick of your wrist.H1792H7294H1792H2491H6340H341H5797H2220 11You own the cosmos—you made everything in it, everything from atom to archangel.H8064H776H8398H4393H3245 12You positioned the North and South Poles; the mountains Tabor and Hermon sing duets to you.H6828H3225H1254H8396H2768H7442H8034 13With your well-muscled arm and your grip of steel— nobody trifles with you!H1369H2220H5810H3027H7311H3225 14The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits.H6664H4941H4349H3678H2617H571H6923H6440 15Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of GOD.H835H5971H3045H8643H1980H3068H216H6440 16Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do—they can't keep it quiet!H8034H1523H3117H6666H7311 17Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you've been so good to us! We're walking on air!H8597H5797H7522H7161H7311H7311 18All we are and have we owe to GOD, Holy God of Israel, our King!H3068H4043H6918H3478H4428 19A long time ago you spoke in a vision, you spoke to your faithful beloved: "I've crowned a hero, I chose the best I could find;H1696H2377H2623H559H7737H5828H1368H7311H977H5971 20I found David, my servant, poured holy oil on his head,H4672H1732H5650H6944H8081H4886 21And I'll keep my hand steadily on him, yes, I'll stick with him through thick and thin.H3027H3559H2220H553 22No enemy will get the best of him, no scoundrel will do him in.H341H5378H1121H5766H6031 23I'll weed out all who oppose him, I'll clean out all who hate him.H3807H6862H6440H5062H8130 24I'm with him for good and I'll love him forever; I've set him on high—he's riding high!H530H2617H8034H7161H7311 25I've put Ocean in his one hand, River in the other;H7760H3027H3220H3225H5104 26he'll call out, 'Oh, my Father—my God, my Rock of Salvation!'H7121H1H410H6697H3444 27Yes, I'm setting him apart as the First of the royal line, High King over all of earth's kings.H5414H1060H5945H4428H776 28I'll preserve him eternally in my love, I'll faithfully do all I so solemnly promised.H2617H8104H5769H1285H539 29I'll guarantee his family tree and underwrite his rule.H2233H7760H5703H3678H3117H8064 30If his children refuse to do what I tell them, if they refuse to walk in the way I show them,H1121H5800H8451H3212H4941 31If they spit on the directions I give them and tear up the rules I post for them—H2490H2708H8104H4687 32I'll rub their faces in the dirt of their rebellion and make them face the music.H6485H6588H7626H5771H5061 33But I'll never throw them out, never abandon or disown them.H2617H6331H530H8266 34Do you think I'd withdraw my holy promise? or take back words I'd already spoken?H1285H2490H8138H4161H8193 35I've given my word, my whole and holy word; do you think I would lie to David?H259H7650H6944H3576H1732 36His family tree is here for good, his sovereignty as sure as the sun,H2233H5769H3678H8121 37Dependable as the phases of the moon, inescapable as weather."H3559H5769H3394H539H5707H7834H5542 38But GOD, you did walk off and leave us, you lost your temper with the one you anointed.H2186H3988H5674H4899 39You tore up the promise you made to your servant, you stomped his crown in the mud.H5010H1285H5650H2490H5145H776 40You blasted his home to kingdom come, reduced his city to a pile of rubbleH6555H1448H7760H4013H4288 41Picked clean by wayfaring strangers, a joke to all the neighbors.H5674H1870H8155H2781H7934 42You declared a holiday for all his enemies, and they're celebrating for all they're worth.H7311H3225H6862H341H8055 43Angry, you opposed him in battle, refused to fight on his side;H7725H6697H2719H6965H4421 44You robbed him of his splendor, humiliated this warrior, ground his kingly honor in the dirt.H2892H7673H4048H3678H4048H776 45You took the best years of his life and left him an impotent, ruined husk.H3117H5934H7114H5844H955H5542 46How long do we put up with this, GOD? Are you gone for good? Will you hold this grudge forever?H3068H5641H5331H2534H1197H784 47Remember my sorrow and how short life is. Did you create men and women for nothing but this?H2142H2465H1254H1121H120H7723 48We'll see death soon enough. Everyone does. And there's no back door out of hell.H1397H2421H7200H4194H4422H5315H3027H7585H5542 49So where is the love you're so famous for, Lord? What happened to your promise to David?H136H7223H2617H7650H1732H530 50Take a good look at your servant, dear Lord; I'm the butt of the jokes of all nations,H2142H136H2781H5650H5375H2436H7227H5971 51The taunting jokes of your enemies, GOD, as they dog the steps of your dear anointed.H341H2778H3068H2778H6119H4899 52Blessed be GOD forever and always! Yes. Oh, yes.H1288H3068H5769H543H543
