- 1An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
- 2For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
- 3I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
- 4`Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.
- 5and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also `is' in an assembly of holy ones.
- 6For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
- 7God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
- 8O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who `is' like Thee -- a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness `is' round about Thee.
- 9Thou `art' ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
- 10Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
- 11Thine `are' the heavens -- the earth also `is' Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
- 12North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
- 13Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.
- 14Righteousness and judgment `Are' the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.
- 15O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.
- 16In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,
- 17For the beauty of their strength `art' Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,
- 18For of Jehovah `is' our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.
- 19Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

- 20I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.
- 21With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.
- 22An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.
- 23And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,
- 24And My faithfulness and kindness `are' with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

- 25And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.
- 26He proclaimeth me: `Thou `art' my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
- 27I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
- 28To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant `is' stedfast with him.
- 29And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

- 30If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;
- 31If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
- 32I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
- 33And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
- 34I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
- 35Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
- 36His seed is to the age, And his throne `is' as the sun before Me,
- 37As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.
- 38And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
- 39Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
- 40Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
- 41Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
- 42Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
- 43Also -- Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
- 44Hast caused `him' to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
- 45Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over `with' shame. Selah.
- 46Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
- 47Remember, I pray Thee, what `is' life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?
