- A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
- 2
- I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
- 3
- For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.”
- 4
- You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:
- 5
- ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah
- 6
- Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
- 7
- For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
- 8
- a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
- 9
- O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you?
- 10
- You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.
- 11
- You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
- 12
- The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.
- 13
- The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.
- 14
- You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.
- 15
- Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
- 16
- Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face,
- 17
- who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted.
- 18
- For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.
- 19
- For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
- 20
- Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: “I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
- 21
- I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him,
- 22
- so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.
- 23
- The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him.
- 24
- I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
- 25
- My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
- 26
- I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
- 27
- He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’
- 28
- And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
- 29
- My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.
- 30
- I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.
- 31
- If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,
- 32
- if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,
- 33
- then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes,
- 34
- but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.
- 35
- I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
- 36
- Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.
- 37
- His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me.
- 38
- Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah
- 39
- But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.
- 40
- You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.
- 41
- You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
- 42
- All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
- 43
- You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
- 44
- You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle.
- 45
- You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground.
- 46
- You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah
- 47
- How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
- 48
- Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
- 49
- What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah
- 50
- Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?
- 51
- Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations,
- 52
- with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.
- 53
- Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
