“A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrachite.” The kindnesses of the Lord will I for ever sing: from generation to generation will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
2 For I have said forever covenant loyalty it will be built [the] heavens - you establish faithfulness your in them.
For I have said, To eternity will kindness be built up: the heavens—yea, in these wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.
3 I have made a covenant to chosen one my I have sworn an oath to David servant my.
“I have made a covenant with my elect, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 Until perpetuity I will establish offspring your and I will build to a generation and a generation throne your (Selah)
Unto eternity will I establish thy seed, and I will build up thy throne, from generation to generation.” (Selah)
5 So they may praise [the] heavens wonder[s] your O Yahweh also faithfulness your in [the] assembly of [the] holy [ones].
And the heavens praise thy wonder, O Lord: also thy faithfulness in the assembly of holy ones.
6 For who? in the cloud[s] is he comparable to Yahweh is he like? Yahweh among [the] sons of gods.
For who in the sky can be compared unto the Lord? who can be likened unto the Lord among the sons of the mighty?
7 God [is] awesome in [the] council of [the] holy [ones] much and to be feared above all [those] around him.
God is greatly terrific in the secret council of the holy ones and fear-inspiring over all that are about him.
8 O Yahweh - God of hosts who? like you [is] mighty - O Yahweh and faithfulness your [is] around you.
O Lord God of hosts, who is powerful, like thee, Eternal! and thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9 You [are] ruling over [the] swelling of the sea when rise up waves its you you calm them.

14 [is] righteousness And justice [the] foundation of throne your covenant loyalty and faithfulness they come to meet face your.
Righteousness and justice are the prop of thy throne: kindness and truth precede thy presence.
15 How blessed! [is] the people [which] know a shout of joy O Yahweh in [the] light of presence your they walk!
Happy is the people that know the cornet's sound: O Lord, in the light of thy countenance will they ever walk firmly.
16 In name your they rejoice! all the day and in righteousness your they are exalted.

19 Then you spoke in a vision to faithful [people] your and you said I have placed help on a warrior I have raised up a chosen [one] from [the] people.
Then spokest thou in a vision to thy pious [servant], and saidst, “I have bestowed help to one that is mighty; I have exalted a youth out of the people;
20 I have found David servant my with [the] oil of holiness my I have anointed him.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him;
21 Whom hand my it will be steadfast with him also arm my it will strengthen him.
With whom my hand shall be firmly established; also my arm shall strengthen him;
22 Not he will deceive an enemy him and a son of injustice not he will afflict him.
The enemy shall not exact from him like a lender: and the son of injustice shall not afflict him:
23 And I will crush from before him opponents his and [those who] hate him I will strike down.
And I will beat down before his face his assailants, and those that hate him will I plague.
24 And faithfulness my and covenant loyalty my [will be] with him and in name my it will be exalted horn his.
But my faithfulness and my kindness shall be with him: and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 And I will set on the sea hand his and on the rivers right [hand] his.

26 He he will call out to me [are] father my you God my and [the] rock of salvation my.
He will call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Also I firstborn I will make him most high to [the] kings of [the] earth.
Also I will appoint my first-born, the highest among the kings of the earth.
28 For ever (I will keep *Q(k)*) to him covenant loyalty my and covenant my [will be] reliable to him.
For evermore will I keep for him my kindness, and my covenant shall stand faithfully with him.
29 And I will establish for ever offspring his and throne his like [the] days of [the] heavens.
And I appoint for ever his seed, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If they will forsake sons his law my and in judgments my not they will walk!
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances;
31 If statutes my they will violate and commandments my not they will keep.
If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32 And I will punish with a rod transgression their and with plagues iniquity their.
Then will I visit with the rod their transgressions, and with plagues their iniquity.
33 And covenant loyalty my not I will break off from with him and not I will deal falsely with faithfulness my.
Nevertheless my kindness will I not make utterly void from him, and I will not act falsely against my faithfulness.
34 Not I will violate covenant my and [the] utterance of lips my not I will change.
I will not profane my covenant, and what is gone out of my lips will I not alter.
35 One [time] I have sworn an oath by holiness my if to David I will lie.
One thing have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David.
36 Offspring his for ever it will be and throne his like the sun before me.

37 Like [the] moon it will be established forever and a witness in the cloud[s] [will be] reliable (Selah)
Like the moon shall it be firmly established for ever, and as this faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
38 And you you have spurned and you have rejected you have been furious with anointed your.
And yet thou hast east off and despised, thou hast become wroth with thy anointed.

Thou hast raised up the right hand of his assailants: thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Also you turn back [the] flint of sword his and not you have raised up him in battle.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not let him stand erect in the battle.
44 You have made cease from luster his and throne his to the ground you have thrown.
Thou hast made his brilliancy cease; and his throne hast thou thrown down to the ground.
45 You have made short [the] days of youth his you have wrapped on him shame (Selah)
Thou hast shortened the days of his youth: thou hast enshrouded him with shame. (Selah)
46 Until when? O Yahweh will you hide yourself? to perpetuity will it burn? like a fire anger your.
How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself, continually? how long shall thy fury burn like fire?
47 Remember I what? [is] lifespan concerning what? emptiness have you created all [the] children of humankind.
Remember [what] I am, what my duration is [here], for what nothingness thou hast created all sons of men!
48 Who? [is the] man [who] he will live and not he will see death [who] he will deliver life his from [the] hand of Sheol (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
What man is there that can live, and shall not see death? that can deliver his soul from the power of the nether word? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where? - [are] covenant loyalti your former - O Lord [which] you swore an oath to David in faithfulness your.
Where are thy former kindnesses, O Lord, which thou hast sworn unto David by thy truth?
50 Remember O Lord [the] reproach of servants your bearing my in bosom my all many peoples.
Remember, Lord, the disgrace of thy servants; that I bear in my bosom the [burden] of all the many nations;
51 Which they have reproached enemies your - O Yahweh which they have reproached [the] footprints of anointed your.
That thy enemies have defied, O Lord; that they have defied the footsteps of thy anointed.
52 [be] blessed Yahweh for ever amen - and amen.
Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
