15. O greatly bless'd the people arethe joyful sound that know;In brightness of thy face, O Lord,they ever on shall go.
16. They in thy name shall all the dayrejoice exceedingly;And in thy righteousness shall theyexalted be on high.
17. Because the glory of their strengthdoth only stand in thee;And in thy favour shall our hornand pow'r exalted be.
18. For God is our defence; and heto us doth safety bring:The Holy One of Israelis our almighty King.
19. In vision to thy Holy Onethou saidst, I help uponA strong one laid; out of the folkI rais'd a chosen one;
20. Ev'n David, I have found him outa servant unto me;And with my holy oil my Kinganointed him to be.
21. With whom my hand shall stablish'd be;mine arm shall make him strong.
22. On him the foe shall not exact,nor son of mischief wrong.
23. I will beat down before his faceall his malicious foes;I will them greatly plague who dowith hatred him oppose.
24. My mercy and my faithfulnesswith him yet still shall be;And in my name his horn and pow'rmen shall exalted see.
