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.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 usque in aeternum praeparabo semen tuum et aedificabo in generationem et generationem sedem tuam diapsalma
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)
5 confitebuntur caeli mirabilia tua Domine etenim veritatem tuam in ecclesia sanctorum
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 quoniam quis in nubibus aequabitur Domino similis erit Domino in filiis Dei
