1 Lord, your mercy is upon the works of your hands forever; your kindness is with a rich gift upon Israel
2 Your eyes are looking upon them, and your ears will not fail from them, hearing the prayer of the poor in hope
3 Your judgments are over all the earth with mercy, and your love is over the seed of Abraham, sons of Israel
4 Your discipline upon us is as a firstborn only son, to turn back a docile soul from folly in ignorance
5 May God cleanse Israel for a day of mercy, in blessing, for a day of choice, in the raising up of his anointed.
6 Blessed are those who have become in those days to see the good things of the Lord that he will do for the coming generation.
7 under the rod of discipline of the anointed of the Lord, in the fear of his God, in the wisdom of spirit and of righteousness and of strength
8 to direct a man in works of righteousness, to set all of them by fear of God before the Lord
9 A good generation in the fear of God in days of mercy. Selah
10 Great is our God, and glorious, dwelling in the highest, who appointed in their course luminaries for the seasons of the hours, from days to days, and they did not transgress from the way which you commanded them
11 In the fear of God is their way each day, from the day when God created them and unto eternity
12 and they did not go astray from the day he created them; from ancient generations they did not depart from their ways, unless God had commanded them by the command of his servants
