A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of thy steadfast love, O LORD, for ever; with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations. |
2
|
For thy steadfast love was established for ever, thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens. |
3
|
Thou hast said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant: |
4
|
`I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.'" [Selah] |
5
|
Let the heavens praise thy wonders, O LORD, thy 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 feared in the council of the holy ones, great and terrible above all that are round about him? |
8
|
O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as thou art, O LORD, with thy faithfulness round about thee? |
9
|
Thou dost rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, thou stillest them. |
10
|
Thou didst crush Rahab like a carcass, thou didst scatter thy enemies with thy mighty arm. |
11
|
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine; the world and all that is in it, thou hast founded them. |
12
|
The north and the south, thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise thy name. |
13
|
Thou hast a mighty arm; strong is thy hand, high thy right hand. |
14
|
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before thee. |
15
|
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance, |
16
|
who exult in thy name all the day, and extol thy righteousness. |
17
|
For thou art the glory of their strength; by thy favor our horn is exalted. |
18
|
For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. |
19
|
Of old thou didst speak in a vision to thy faithful one, and say: "I have set the crown upon 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 ever abide 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, `Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' |
27
|
And I will make him the first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth. |
28
|
My steadfast love I will keep for him for ever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. |
29
|
I will establish his line for ever and his throne as the days of the heavens. |
30
|
If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances, |
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 scourges; |
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 line shall endure for ever, his throne as long as the sun before me. |
37
|
Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand firm while the skies endure." [Selah] |
38
|
But now thou hast cast off and rejected, thou art full of wrath against thy anointed. |
39
|
Thou hast renounced the covenant with thy servant; thou hast defiled his crown in the dust. |
40
|
Thou hast breached all his walls; thou hast laid his strongholds in ruins. |
41
|
All that pass by despoil him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. |
42
|
Thou hast exalted the right hand of his foes; thou hast made all his enemies rejoice. |
43
|
Yea, thou hast turned back the edge of his sword, and thou hast not made him stand in battle. |
44
|
Thou hast removed the scepter from his hand, and cast his throne to the ground. |
45
|
Thou hast cut short the days of his youth; thou hast covered him with shame. [Selah] |
46
|
How long, O LORD? Wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long will thy wrath burn like fire? |
47
|
Remember, O Lord, what the measure of life is, for what vanity thou hast created all the sons of men! |
48
|
What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? [Selah] |
49
|
Lord, where is thy steadfast love of old, which by thy faithfulness thou didst swear to David? |
50
|
Remember, O Lord, how thy servant is scorned; how I bear in my bosom the insults of the peoples, |
51
|
with which thy enemies taunt, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of thy anointed. |
52
|
Blessed be the LORD for ever! Amen and Amen. |
