When he commits iniquity, ^gI will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 ^hbut my steadfast love will not depart from him, ⁱas I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 ^jAnd your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew you} ^lYour throne shall be established forever.’” 17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.

1 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when ^adbrothers dwell in unity! ^{▼▼Or dwell together}

on the beard of Aaron,
running down on ^ahthe collar of his robes!

Psalms 135

Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever

1 ^avPraise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord,
give praise, O ^awservants of the Lord,
2 who ^axstand in the house of the Lord,
in ^aythe courts of the house of our God!
3 Praise the Lord, for ^azthe Lord is good;
sing to his name, ^bafor it is pleasant! ^{▼▼Or for he is beautiful}
4 For the Lord has ^bcchosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his ^bdown possession.
5 For I know that ^bethe Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 ^bfWhatever the Lord pleases, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
7 ^bgHe it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
who ^bhmakes lightnings for the rain
and brings forth the wind from his ^bistorehouses.
8 He it was who ^bjstruck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
9 who in your midst, O Egypt,
sent ^bksigns and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 ^blwho struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings,
11 ^bmSihon, king of the Amorites,
and ^bnOg, king of Bashan,
and ^boall the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 and ^bpgave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.
13 ^bqYour name, O Lord, endures forever,
^bryour renown, ^{▼▼Or remembrance} O Lord, throughout all ages.
14 ^btFor the Lord will vindicate his people
and ^buhave compassion on his servants.
15 ^bvThe idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
17 they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.
19 ^bwO house of Israel, bless the Lord!
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
21 Blessed be the Lord ^bxfrom Zion,
he who ^bydwells in Jerusalem!
^bzPraise the Lord!
