MaschilH4905 of EthanH387 the Ezrahite.H250 I will singH7891 of the merciesH2617 of the LORDH3068 for ever:H5769 with my mouthH6310 will I make knownH3045 your faithfulnessH530 to all generations.H1755
2
For I have said,H559 MercyH2617 shall be builtH1129 up for ever:H5769 your faithfulnessH530 shall you establishH3559 in the very heavens.H8064
3
I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with my chosen,H972 I have swornH7650 to DavidH1732 my servant,H5650
4
Your seedH2233 will I establishH3559 for ever,H5769 and buildH1129 up your throneH3678 to all generations.H1755 Selah.H5542
5
And the heavensH8064 shall praiseH3034 your wonders,H6382 O LORD:H3068 your faithfulnessH530 alsoH637 in the congregationH6951 of the saints.H6918
6
For whoH4310 in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 to the LORD?H3068 who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 to the LORD?H3068
7
GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saints,H6918 and to be had in reverenceH3372 of allH3605 them that are aboutH5439 him.
8
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hosts,H6635 whoH4310 is a strongH2626 LORDH3050 likeH3644 to you? or to your faithfulnessH530 roundH5439 about you?
9
You ruleH4910 the ragingH1348 of the sea:H3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof arise,H7721 you stillH7623 them.
10
You have brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in pieces, as one that is slain;H2491 you have scatteredH6340 your enemiesH341 with your strongH5797 arm.H2220
11
The heavensH8064 are yours, the earthH776 alsoH637 is yours: as for the worldH8398 and the fullnessH4393 thereof, you have foundedH3245 them.
12
The northH6828 and the southH3225 you have createdH1254 them: TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shall rejoiceH7442 in your name.H8034
13
You have a mightyH1369 arm:H2220 strongH5810 is your hand,H3027 and highH7311 is your rightH3225 hand.H3225
14
JusticeH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of your throne:H3678 mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before your face.H6440
15
BlessedH835 is the peopleH5971 that knowH3045 the joyfulH8643 sound:H8643 they shall walk,H1980 O LORD,H3068 in the lightH216 of your countenance.H6440
16
In your nameH8034 shall they rejoiceH1523 allH3605 the day:H3117 and in your righteousnessH6666 shall they be exalted.H7311
17
For you are the gloryH8597 of their strength:H5797 and in your favorH7522 our hornH7161 shall be exalted.H7311
18
For the LORDH3068 is our defense;H4043 and the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 is our king.H4428
19
ThenH227 you spokeH1696 in visionH2377 to your holyH2623 one, and said,H559 I have laidH7737 helpH5828 on one that is mighty;H1368 I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH970 out of the people.H5971
20
I have foundH4672 DavidH1732 my servant;H5650 with my holyH6944 oilH8081 have I anointedH4886 him:
21
With whomH834 my handH3027 shall be established:H3559 my armH2220 alsoH637 shall strengthenH553 him.
22
The enemyH341 shall not exactH5378 on him; norH3808 the sonH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 him.
23
And I will beatH3807 down his foesH6862 before his face,H6440 and plagueH5063 them that hateH8130 him.
24
But my faithfulnessH530 and my mercyH2617 shall be with him: and in my nameH8034 shall his hornH7161 be exalted.H7311
25
I will setH7760 his handH3027 also in the sea,H3220 and his rightH3225 handH3225 in the rivers.H5104
26
He shall cryH7121 to me, You are my father,H1 my God,H410 and the rockH6697 of my salvation.H3444
27
AlsoH637 I will makeH5414 him my firstborn,H1060 higherH5945 than the kingsH4428 of the earth.H776
28
My mercyH2617 will I keepH8104 for him for ever more,H5769 and my covenantH1285 shall standH539 fast with him.
29
His seedH2233 also will I makeH7760 to endure for ever,H5703 and his throneH3678 as the daysH3117 of heaven.H8064
30
IfH518 his childrenH1121 forsakeH5800 my law,H8451 and walkH3212 not in my judgments;H4941
31
IfH518 they breakH2490 my statutes,H2708 and keepH8104 not my commandments;H4687
32
Then will I visitH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the rod,H7626 and their iniquityH5771 with stripes.H5061
33
Nevertheless my loving kindnessH2617 will I not utterly takeH6331 from him, norH3808 suffer my faithfulnessH530 to fail.H8266
34
My covenantH1285 will I not break,H2490 norH3808 alterH8138 the thing that is goneH4161 out of my lips.H8193
35
OnceH259 have I swornH7650 by my holinessH6944 that I will not lieH3576 to David.H1732
36
His seedH2233 shall endureH1961 for ever,H5769 and his throneH3678 as the sunH8121 beforeH5048 me.
37
It shall be establishedH3559 for everH5769 as the moon,H3394 and as a faithfulH539 witnessH5707 in heaven.H7834 Selah.H5542
38
But you have castH2186 off and abhorred,H3988 you have been wrothH5674 with your anointed.H4899
39
You have made voidH5010 the covenantH1285 of your servant:H5650 you have profanedH2490 his crownH5145 by casting it to the ground.H776
40
You have brokenH6555 down allH3605 his hedges;H1448 you have broughtH7760 his strongH4013 holdsH4013 to ruin.H4288
41
AllH3605 that passH5674 by the wayH1870 spoilH8155 him: he is a reproachH2781 to his neighbors.H7934
42
You have setH7311 up the rightH3225 handH3225 of his adversaries;H6862 you have made allH3605 his enemiesH341 to rejoice.H8055
43
You have alsoH637 turnedH7725 the edgeH6697 of his sword,H2719 and have not made him to standH6965 in the battle.H4421
44
You have made his gloryH2892 to cease,H7673 and castH4048 his throneH3678 down to the ground.H776
45
The daysH3117 of his youthH5934 have you shortened:H7114 you have coveredH5844 him with shame.H955 Selah.H5542
46
HowH5704 long,H5704 LORD?H3068 will you hideH5641 yourself for ever?H5331 shall your wrathH2534 burnH1197 like fire?H784
47
RememberH2142 howH4100 shortH2465 my time is: whyH5921 H4100 have you made allH3605 menH1121 H120 in vain?H7723
48
WhatH4310 manH1397 is he that lives,H2421 and shall not seeH7200 death?H4194 shall he deliverH4422 his soulH5315 from the handH3027 of the grave?H7585 Selah.H5542
49
Lord,H136 whereH346 are your formerH7223 loving kindnesses,H2617 which you sworeH7650 to DavidH1732 in your truth?H530
50
Remember,H2142 Lord,H136 the reproachH2781 of your servants;H5650 how I do bearH5375 in my bosomH2436 the reproach of allH3605 the mightyH7227 people;H5971
51
WithH834 which your enemiesH341 have reproached,H2778 O LORD;H3068 with whichH834 they have reproachedH2778 the footstepsH6119 of your anointed.H4899
52
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 for ever more.H5769 Amen,H543 and Amen.H543
