Acts 2:25–31

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

    6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

    7I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

    8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

    9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

    10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

    11Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

    12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

    1GIVE the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

    3The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

    4He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

    5They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

    6He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.

    7In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

    8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

    9They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

    10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

    11Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

    12For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

    13He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

    14He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

    15And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

    16There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

    17His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

    19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

    21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

    22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

    23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

    24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

    25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

    26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

    27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

    28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

    29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

    30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

    31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

    32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

    33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

    34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

    35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

    36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

    37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
