“A psalm 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!
2 For I have said forever covenant loyalty it will be built [the] heavens - you establish faithfulness your in them.
For I know that thy mercy endureth for ever; Thou hast established thy truth like the heavens.
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 chosen; I have sworn to David, my servant:
4 Until perpetuity I will establish offspring your and I will build to a generation and a generation throne your (Selah)
Thy family I will establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.” (Pause)
5 So they may praise [the] heavens wonder[s] your O Yahweh also faithfulness your in [the] assembly of [the] holy [ones].
The heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD! And the assembly of the holy ones thy truth!
6 For who? in the cloud[s] is he comparable to Yahweh is he like? Yahweh among [the] sons of gods.
Who in the heavens can be compared to Jehovah? Who is like Jehovah among the sons of God?
7 God [is] awesome in [the] council of [the] holy [ones] much and to be feared above all [those] around him.
A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones, And to be had in reverence above all who are around him?
8 O Yahweh - God of hosts who? like you [is] mighty - O Yahweh and faithfulness your [is] around you.
O Jehovah, God of hosts! Who is mighty like thee, O Jehovah? 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.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea; When the waves thereof rise, thou stillest them!
10 You you crushed like [one] slain Rahab with [the] arm of strength your you scattered enemies your.
Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.
11 [belongs] to You heaven also [belongs] to you [the] earth [the] world and what fills it you you founded them.
The heavens are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.

15 How blessed! [is] the people [which] know a shout of joy O Yahweh in [the] light of presence your they walk!
Happy the people that know the trumpet's sound! They walk, O LORD! in the light of thy countenance;
16 In name your they rejoice! all the day and in righteousness your they are exalted.
In thy name they daily rejoice, And in thy righteousness they glory!

18 For [belongs] to Yahweh shield our and [belongs] to [the] holy [one] of Israel king our.
For from Jehovah is our shield, And from the Holy One of Israel is our king.
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.
Once thou spakest in a vision to thy holy one, And saidst, —”I have laid help on one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from 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 him shall my hand be established, And 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 have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.
23 And I will crush from before him opponents his and [those who] hate him I will strike down.
For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.
24 And faithfulness my and covenant loyalty my [will be] with him and in name my it will be exalted horn his.
My faithfulness and mercy 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.
I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.
26 He he will call out to me [are] father my you God my and [the] rock of salvation my.
He shall say to 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.
I will also make him my first-born, Highest of 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.
My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.
29 And I will establish for ever offspring his and throne his like [the] days of [the] heavens.
I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
30 If they will forsake sons his law my and in judgments my not they will walk!
Should his children forsake my law, And walk not in my statutes,
31 If statutes my they will violate and commandments my not they will keep.
Should they break my commandments, And observe not my precepts,
32 And I will punish with a rod transgression their and with plagues iniquity their.
I will punish their transgressions with a rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33 And covenant loyalty my not I will break off from with him and not I will deal falsely with faithfulness my.
But my kindness will I not withdraw from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 Not I will violate covenant my and [the] utterance of lips my not I will change.
I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what hath gone from my lips.
35 One [time] I have sworn an oath by holiness my if to David I will lie.
Once have I sworn in my holiness, That I will not be false unto David.
36 Offspring his for ever it will be and throne his like the sun before me.
His family shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.
37 Like [the] moon it will be established forever and a witness in the cloud[s] [will be] reliable (Selah)
It shall be established for ever like the moon; Like the faithful witness in the sky.”
38 And you you have spurned and you have rejected you have been furious with anointed your.
But now thou forsakest and abhorrest, And art angry with, thine anointed.
39 You have repudiated [the] covenant of servant your you have profaned to the ground crown his.
Thou hast made void the covenant with thy servant; Thou hast cast his crown to the ground.
40 You have broken through all walls his you have made strongholds his a ruin.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 They have plundered him all [those who] pass by of [the] road he has become a reproach to neighbors his.
All who pass by plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have exalted [the] right [hand] of opponents his you have made to rejoice all enemies his.
Thou hast lifted up the right hand of his enemies; Thou hast made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43 Also you turn back [the] flint of sword his and not you have raised up him in battle.
Yea, thou hast turned the edge of his sword, And made him unable to stand in battle.
44 You have made cease from luster his and throne his to the ground you have thrown.
Thou hast brought his glory to an end, And hast cast down his throne 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 covered him with shame.
46 Until when? O Yahweh will you hide yourself? to perpetuity will it burn? like a fire anger your.
How long, O LORD! wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thine anger burn like fire?
47 Remember I what? [is] lifespan concerning what? emptiness have you created all [the] children of humankind.
Remember how short is my life, To what frailty thou hast created all 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 liveth, and seeth not death? Who can deliver himself from the underworld? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where? - [are] covenant loyalti your former - O Lord [which] you swore an oath to David in faithfulness your.
Where, Lord, is thy former loving-kindness Which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
50 Remember O Lord [the] reproach of servants your bearing my in bosom my all many peoples.
Remember, O Lord! the reproach of thy servants, How I bear in my bosom the taunts of all the many nations,
51 Which they have reproached enemies your - O Yahweh which they have reproached [the] footprints of anointed your.
With which thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD! With which they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed!
52 [be] blessed Yahweh for ever amen - and amen.
[Praised be Jehovah for ever! Amen, yea, amen!]
