A MASKIL OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. |
2
|
For I said, "Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness." |
3
|
You have said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: |
4
|
'I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.'"Selah |
5
|
Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! |
6
|
For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, |
7
|
a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? |
8
|
O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you? |
9
|
You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. |
10
|
You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. |
11
|
The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. |
12
|
The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name. |
13
|
You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. |
14
|
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. |
15
|
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, |
16
|
who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. |
17
|
For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. |
18
|
For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
19
|
Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: "I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. |
20
|
I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, |
21
|
so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him. |
22
|
The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. |
23
|
I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. |
24
|
My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. |
25
|
I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. |
26
|
He shall cry to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' |
27
|
And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. |
28
|
My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. |
29
|
I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens. |
30
|
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, |
31
|
if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, |
32
|
then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, |
33
|
but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness. |
34
|
I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. |
35
|
Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. |
36
|
His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. |
37
|
Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies." Selah |
38
|
But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. |
39
|
You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. |
40
|
You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins. |
41
|
All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. |
42
|
You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. |
43
|
You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle. |
44
|
You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. |
45
|
You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah |
46
|
How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? |
47
|
Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! |
48
|
What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah |
49
|
Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? |
50
|
Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, |
51
|
with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed. |
52
|
Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. |
