for
ever:

all
generations.

Ethan
the
Ezrahite.
Of the kind
acts
of Jehovah,
to
the age
I sing,

all
generations
I

said, Mercy
shall
be
built up
for
ever:
thy
faithfulness
shalt
thou establish in the
very
heavens
.
For I said, `To
the
age
is
kindness
built ,

heavens!

in them
. '
I have made a covenant with
my chosen, I have sworn unto
David my servant ,

And the heavens shall
praise
thy wonders, O LORD:
thy faithfulness also in the
congregation
of the
saints
.
and the heavens confess
Thy wonders, O Jehovah,
Thy faithfulness also `is'
in an
assembly
of holy
ones

For who in the heaven
can
be
compared
unto
the
LORD
? who
among the
sons of the mighty can
be
likened
unto
the
LORD
?

that
are
about

terrible,
In the secret
counsel
of His
holy
ones
, And fearful
over
all surrounding
Him.
O LORD
God of hosts, who is a
strong
LORD
like unto
thee? or
to
thy faithfulness round about thee ?

Then thou spakest
in vision to thy holy
one
, and
saidst
, I have laid
help upon one
that
is
mighty ;
I
have
exalted
one chosen out of the people .
Then Thou hast
spoken
in vision ,
To Thy saint
, yea

be
established :

arm also shall
strengthen him.

enemy shall
not exact
upon him ;

afflict
him.

not upon him ,

beat
down his
foes
before his face
, and plague
them
that
hate
him .
And I have
beaten
down before him
his adversaries
, And those
hating
him I
plague,

his horn be
exalted.
And
My faithfulness and kindness
`are'
with him ,
And in My name is
his horn exalted.
I will
set his
hand
also
in
the sea, and his right hand in
the
rivers
.
And
I have
set on
the sea his
hand
, And on
the
rivers
his right hand.
He shall
cry
unto
me ,
Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
He proclaimeth
me :
`
Thou `
art '
my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. '
Also
I will
make
him my
firstborn
, higher
than
the kings of the earth.
I also
first-born
do
appoint
him, Highest
of
the kings of the earth.
My
mercy
will
I keep for him for
evermore
, and my covenant shall
stand
fast
with him.
To
the
age
I keep for him My
kindness
, And My covenant `is'
stedfast
with him.
His seed also
will
I
make
to
endure
for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven
.
And
I
have
set
his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the
heavens

If his children
forsake my law, and walk
not
in my judgments;
If his sons
forsake My law, And in My judgments do
not
walk
;
If they
break
my statutes, and keep
not
my commandments;
If My statutes they
pollute
, And My commands
do
not
keep,
Then
will
I visit
their
transgression
with the
rod, and their iniquity with
stripes.
I have
looked
after
with a
rod their
transgression
, And with
strokes
their iniquity ,
Nevertheless
my lovingkindness
will
I not utterly
take
from him, nor suffer
my faithfulness to
fail
.
And
My kindness
I break
not from him, Nor do
I
deal
falsely
in
My faithfulness.
My
covenant
will
I not break
, nor
alter
the
thing
that is gone
out
of
my lips.
I profane
not My
covenant
, And
that which
is going
forth
from
My lips I
change
not
.
Once have
I sworn by my holiness that
I will
not
lie unto
David .
Once I have
sworn by My holiness ,
I lie not
to
David ,
His seed shall
endure
for
ever
, and his throne as the sun before me .
His seed is
to
the
age
, And his throne `is'
as the sun before Me ,
It
shall
be
established
for
ever
as the moon, and as
a
faithful
witness in heaven
. Selah.
As the moon it
is
established
--
to
the
age
, And the
witness in the
sky
is
stedfast
. Selah.
But
thou hast cast off and abhorred
, thou hast been
wroth with thine anointed .
And
Thou ,
Thou
hast cast off ,
and dost
reject

his
crown
by
casting
it
to the ground.

his
crown,

by the way spoil
him:

up
the right hand of his adversaries ;

all his enemies to rejoice.
Thou hast exalted
the right hand of his adversaries ,

all his enemies to rejoice.
Thou
hast
also turned
the edge
of his sword, and hast not made
him to
stand
in the
battle .
Also --
Thou
turnest
back
the sharpness
of his sword, And hast not established
him in battle ,
Thou
hast made
his
glory
to cease, and cast
his throne down
to the ground
.
Hast caused
`him'
to cease from
his
brightness
, And his throne to the earth
hast
cast
down
.
The days of his youth hast
thou
shortened:
thou
hast covered him with shame. Selah.
Thou
hast
shortened
the days of his youth ,
Hast covered him over
`
with '
shame. Selah.
How
long
, LORD?
wilt
thou hide
thyself
for ever ?
shall
thy wrath
burn like
fire?
Till
when
, O
Jehovah,
art
Thou hidden?
For ever doth
Thy fury
burn as
fire?
Remember how
short
my
time
is :
wherefore hast thou made
all men in
vain
?
Remember ,
I
pray
Thee,
what
`
is '
life-time?
Wherefore in
vain
hast Thou created
All the
sons
of
men?
What
man
is he
that liveth, and shall
not see death? shall
he deliver
his soul from the hand of the
grave?
Selah.
Who
`
is '
the
man
that liveth, and doth
not see death? He delivereth
his soul from the hand of Sheol.
Selah.
Lord,
where are thy former lovingkindnesses
, which
thou swarest
unto
David in thy truth?
Where `
are '
Thy former kindnesses
, O
Lord.
Thou hast
sworn
to
David in Thy faithfulness,
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants ;
how
I do
bear
in my bosom the reproach
of all
the mighty
people;
Remember, O
Lord, the reproach of Thy servants ,
I have
borne
in my bosom all
the strivings
of the peoples,
Wherewith thine enemies have
reproached, O LORD;
wherewith they have reproached the footsteps
of thine anointed.
Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah,
Wherewith they have reproached The steps
of Thine anointed.
Blessed be
the LORD
for
evermore
. Amen, and Amen .
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
to
the age
. Amen, and amen !
