Lord, you yourself are our God forever, for in you, O God, our soul glories.
2We trust in our God Savior, for the strength of our God is eternal with mercy.
3Lord, you chose David king over Israel, and promised him concerning his seed forever.
4See, Lord, and raise up for them their king, son of David, to reign over Israel.
5You equipped him with power to destroy unrighteous rulers, to cleanse Jerusalem.
6To drive out with wisdom and righteousness the sinners from the inheritance.
7To shatter with rod of iron all their substance; to destroy the ungodly nations with the word of his mouth.
8And he shall gather a holy people, whom he shall direct in righteousness.
9He shall be a righteous king over them, instructed by God.
10The Lord himself is his king, the hope of the strong.
11Blessed are those who shall be born in those days.
12May God hasten his mercy upon Israel.
13The Lord himself is our God forever.
