Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
1
I will sing of the
lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever:
With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all
generations.
2
For I have said, Mercy shall
be built up for ever;
Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
3
I have made a covenant with
my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my servant:
4
Thy seed will I establish for
ever,
And build up thy throne to all generations.
Selah
5 And
the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah;
Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6
For who in the skies can be
compared unto Jehovah?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,
7
A God very terrible in the
council of the holy ones,
And to be feared above all them that are round about him?
8
O Jehovah God of hosts,
Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah?
And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9
Thou rulest the pride of the
sea:
When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10
Thou hast broken Rahab in
pieces, as one that is slain;
Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
11
The heavens are thine, the
earth also is thine:
The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12
The north and the south, thou
hast created them:
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13
Thou hast a mighty arm;
Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14
Righteousness and justice are
the foundation of thy
throne:
Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
15
Blessed is the people that
know the joyful sound:
They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
16
In thy name do they rejoice
all the day;
And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
17
For thou art the glory of
their strength;
And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
18
For our shield belongeth unto
Jehovah;
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19
Then thou spakest in vision
to thy saints,
And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty;
I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20
I have found David my
servant;
With my holy oil have I anointed him:
21
With whom my hand shall be
established;
Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22
The enemy shall not exact
from him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23
And I will beat down his
adversaries before him,
And smite them that hate him.
24
But my faithfulness and my
lovingkindness shall be with
him;
And in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25
I will set his hand also on
the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
26
He shall cry unto me, Thou
art my Father,
My God, and the rock of my salvation.
27
I also will make him [my]
first-born,
The highest of the kings of the earth.
28
My lovingkindness will I keep
for him for evermore;
And my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29
His seed also will I make to
endure for ever,
And his throne as the days of heaven.
30
If his children forsake my
law,
And walk not in mine ordinances;
31
If they break my statutes,
And keep not my commandments;
32
Then will I visit their
transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33
But my lovingkindness will I
not utterly take from him,
Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34
My covenant will I not break,
Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35
Once have I sworn by my
holiness:
I will not lie unto David:
36
His seed shall endure for
ever,
And his throne as the sun before me.
37
It shall be established for
ever as the moon,
And [as] the faithful witness in the sky.
Selah
38
But thou hast cast off and
rejected,
Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39
Thou hast abhorred the
covenant of thy servant:
Thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
40
Thou hast broken down all his
hedges;
Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41
All that pass by the way rob
him:
He is become a reproach to his neighbors.
42
Thou hast exalted the right
hand of his adversaries;
Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43
Yea, thou turnest back the
edge of his sword,
And hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44
Thou hast made his brightness
to cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.
45
The days of his youth hast
thou shortened:
Thou hast covered him with shame.
Selah
46 How
long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?
[How long] shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47
Oh remember how short my time
is:
For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!
48
What man is he that shall
live and not see death,
That shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?
Selah
49 Lord,
where are thy former lovingkindnesses,
Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
50
Remember, Lord, the reproach
of thy servants;
How I do bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty
peoples,
51
Wherewith thine enemies have
reproached, O Jehovah,
Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52
Blessed be Jehovah for
evermore.
Amen, and Amen.
