AN INSTRUCTION OF ETHAN THE EZRAHITE. Of the kind acts of YHWH, I sing for all time, From generation to generation I make known Your 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 said, “Kindness is built for all time, The heavens! You establish Your faithfulness in them.”

3 I have made a covenant to chosen one my I have sworn an oath to David servant my.

I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David:

4 Until perpetuity I will establish offspring your and I will build to a generation and a generation throne your (Selah)

“Even for all time I establish your seed, And have built your throne to generation and generation.” (Selah)

And the heavens confess Your wonders, O YHWH, Your faithfulness [is] also in an 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, compares himself to YHWH? [Who] is like to YHWH among 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 very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

8 O Yahweh - God of hosts who? like you [is] mighty - O Yahweh and faithfulness your [is] around you.
