Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. 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 have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

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

O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is thy right hand.

Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king.

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.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 anih nuiah ka ban thacak tih; ka ban tampawk hoiah anih tha ka caksak han.
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 Misa mah anih ih hmuen to lomh pae mak ai; kasae kami ih ca mah doeh anih to pacaekthlaek mak ai.
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 a sakpazaehaihnawk pongah thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah dan ka paek han.
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Toe kai ih tahmen amlunghaih to anih khae hoiah ka la pae ving mak ai, ka oepthohhaih doeh kam rosak mak ai.
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
