- 21. My hand has helped him; mine arm also has strengthened him.
- 22. The enemy shall not prevail upon him, nor the sons of the wicked afflict him.
- 23. And I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
- 24. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
- 25. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
- 26. He shall cry to me, Thou art my father, my God, and my mighty Saviour.
- 27. Also I will make him my first-born, and will exalt him over the kings of the earth.
- 28. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

- 39. Thou hast rejected the covenant of thy servant; thou hast cast his crown to the ground.
- 40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
- 41. All that pass by have trampled upon him; he has become a reproach to his neighbours.
- 42. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
- 43. Thou hast turned the edge of his sword, and hast not sustained him in the battle.
- 44. Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
- 45. The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame.
- 46. How long, LORD, wilt thou be angry? for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
- 47. Remember me from the time I was created; for thou hast not created all men in vain.
- 48. Who is the man who lives and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of Sheol?
- 49. LORD, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
- 50. Remember, LORD, the reproach of thy servants; for I have borne throughout my life the mockery of the Gentiles;
- 51. Wherewith thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
- 52. Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen and Amen.
