 The foreign peoples will lose heart; * they shall come trembling out of their strongholds.

The lives! Blessed is my Rock! * Exalted is the God of my salvation!

He is the God who gave me victory * and cast down the peoples beneath me.

You rescued me from the fury of my enemies; you exalted me above those who rose against me; * you saved me from my deadly foe.

Therefore will I extol you among the nations, O, * and sing praises to your Name.

He multiplies the victories of his king; * he shows loving&#8209;kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants for ever.

The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork.

One day tells its tale to another, * and one night imparts knowledge to another.

Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard,

Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world.

In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
