King James Version
An
instruction,

Ethan

Of the kind
acts
of Jehovah,
to
the age
I
sing,
To
all
generations
I make known Thy faithfulness with
my
mouth,
I
will
sing
of the mercies
of the LORD
for
ever:
with
my
mouth
will
I make known thy faithfulness to
all
generations.
For I said, `To
the
age
is
kindness
built ,
The
heavens!
Thou
dost
establish
Thy faithfulness in them
. '
For I have
said, Mercy
shall
be
built up
for
ever:
thy faithfulness shalt
thou
establish
in the
very
heavens
.
I have made a covenant for
My chosen, I have sworn to
David My servant :

I
establish
thy seed, And have
built
to
generation
and
generation
thy throne. Selah.
Thy seed will
I
establish
for
ever

up
thy throne to
all
generations

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

For who in the sky,
Compareth
himself
to
Jehovah
? Is
like
to
Jehovah
among sons of the mighty?
For who in the heaven
can
be
compared
unto
the
LORD

among the
sons of the mighty can

In the secret
counsel
of His
holy
ones
, And fearful
over
all surrounding
Him.

to
be
feared
in the assembly
of the

Thy faithfulness `is'
round about Thee .

the pride
of the sea ,

the lifting
up
of
its
billows
Thou dost
restrain
them.
Thou rulest
the raging
of the sea :
when
the waves
thereof
arise,
thou stillest
them.
Thou hast bruised
Rahab, as one wounded.
With
the
arm
of
Thy
strength
Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
Thou hast broken
Rahab in
pieces
, as one that
is
slain;

is '
Thine ,
The habitable
world and its
fulness, Thou hast founded them.
The heavens are
thine,
the earth also is thine :
as
for
the world and the
fulness thereof
, thou hast founded them.
North and south Thou hast appointed
them ,
Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do
sing
.

north and the
south thou hast created
them :

rejoice
in thy name.

arm with
might,
Strong is Thy hand --

they
walk
habitually
.

exalted ,

they rejoice all the day :
and in thy righteousness shall
they be
exalted .
For the beauty
of their strength `art'
Thou,
And in Thy good
will
is
our horn exalted ,
For thou
art
the glory
of their strength :
and in thy favour
our horn shall
be
exalted .
For of
Jehovah
`
is '
our shield,
And of
the Holy One of Israel our king.
For the
LORD
is our defence;
and the Holy One of Israel is
our king.
Then Thou hast
spoken
in vision ,
To Thy saint,
yea
, Thou
sayest
, I have placed
help upon a
mighty
one ,
Exalted a
chosen
one out of the people ,
Then thou spakest
in vision to thy holy
one
, and

help upon one that
is
mighty;

out of the people .
I have found David My servant ,
With My holy oil I
have anointed him .

with my holy oil have I
anointed him :
With whom My hand is
established ,
My
arm also doth
strengthen him.

arm also shall
strengthen him.

enemy exacteth
not upon him ,
And
a
son of perverseness
afflicteth
him not
.
The
enemy shall
not exact
upon him ;
nor
the
son of wickedness
afflict
him.
And I have
beaten
down before him
his adversaries
, And those
hating
him
I
plague ,
And I will
beat
down his
foes
before his face
, and plague them
that
hate
him.
And
My faithfulness and kindness
`are'
with him ,
And in My name is
his horn exalted.
But
my faithfulness and my
mercy
shall
be
with him :
and in my name shall
his horn be
exalted.
And
I have
set on
the
sea
his hand, And on
the
rivers
his right hand.
I will
set his hand also
in
the
sea
, and his right hand in
the
rivers
.
He proclaimeth
me :
`
Thou `
art '
my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. '
He shall
cry
unto
me ,
Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
I
also first-born
do
appoint
him, Highest
of
the kings of the earth.
Also I
will
make
him my
firstborn
, higher
than
the kings of the earth.
To
the
age
I keep for him My
kindness
, And My covenant `is'
stedfast
with him.
My
mercy
will
I keep for him for
evermore
, and my covenant shall
stand
fast
with him.
And
I
have
set
his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the
heavens
.
His seed also
will
I
make
to
endure
for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven
.
If his sons
forsake My law, And in My judgments do
not
walk
;
If his children
forsake my law, and walk
not
in my judgments;
If My statutes they
pollute
, And My
commands
do
not
keep ,
If they
break
my statutes, and keep not
my
commandments;
I have
looked
after
with
a
rod
their transgression, And with
strokes
their iniquity ,
Then
will
I visit
their transgression with
the
rod
, and their iniquity with
stripes.
And
My kindness
I break
not from him, Nor do
I
deal
falsely
in
My faithfulness.
Nevertheless
my lovingkindness
will
I not utterly
take
from him, nor suffer
my faithfulness to
fail
.
I
profane
not
My covenant, And
that which
is going
forth
from
My lips I
change
not
.
My covenant will
I
not
break
, nor
alter
the
thing
that is gone
out
of
my lips.
Once I
have sworn by My holiness ,
I lie
not to
David ,
Once have I
sworn by my holiness that
I will
not lie
unto
David .
His seed is
to
the
age
, And his throne `is'
as the sun before Me ,
His seed shall
endure
for
ever
, and his throne as the sun before me .
As
the
moon
it is
established --
to
the age
, And the
witness in the
sky
is
stedfast
. Selah.
It shall
be
established for
ever
as
the moon
, and as
a
faithful
witness in heaven
. Selah.
And
Thou,
Thou hast cast off ,
and dost
reject
, Thou hast shown
Thyself
wroth With Thine anointed ,
But
thou hast cast off and abhorred
, thou hast been
wroth with thine anointed .
Hast rejected
the covenant of Thy servant ,

to
the
earth
his crown ,

hast made
void
the covenant of thy servant :

his crown by
casting
it
to
the
ground.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges ,
Thou hast made
his fenced
places
a
ruin.

thou hast brought
his strong
holds
to
ruin.

him
have
all passing
by the way ,

been
a reproach to his neighbours ,
All that
pass
by the way spoil
him:
he is
a reproach to his neighbours .
Thou hast exalted
the right hand of his adversaries ,
Thou hast caused
all his enemies to rejoice.

up
the right hand of his adversaries ;

back
the sharpness
of his sword, And hast not established
him in battle ,

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