1Maschil 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.

1מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל לְאֵיתָ֥ן הָֽאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ חַֽסְדֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה עוֹלָ֣ם אָשִׁ֑ירָה לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֓ר ׀ אוֹדִ֖יעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ בְּפִֽי׃

2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

2כִּֽי־ אָמַ֗רְתִּי ע֭וֹלָם חֶ֣סֶד יִבָּנֶ֑ה שָׁמַ֓יִם ׀ תָּכִ֖ן אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ בָהֶֽם׃

3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

3כָּרַ֣תִּֽי בְ֭רִית לִבְחִירִ֑י נִ֝שְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי לְדָוִ֥ד עַבְדִּֽי׃

4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

4עַד־ ע֭וֹלָם אָכִ֣ין זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וּבָנִ֨יתִי לְדֹר־ וָד֖וֹר כִּסְאֲךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃

5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

5וְי֘וֹד֤וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם פִּלְאֲךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה אַף־ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בִּקְהַ֥ל קְדֹשִֽׁים׃

6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

6כִּ֤י מִ֣י בַ֭שַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹ֣ךְ לַיהוָ֑ה יִדְמֶ֥ה לַ֝יהוָ֗ה בִּבְנֵ֥י אֵלִים׃‪‬

7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

7אֵ֣ל נַ֭עֲרָץ בְּסוֹד־ קְדֹשִׁ֣ים רַבָּ֑ה וְ֝נוֹרָ֗א עַל־ כָּל־ סְבִיבָֽיו׃

8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

8יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צְבָא֗וֹת מִֽי־ כָֽמ֖וֹךָ חֲסִ֥ין ׀ יָ֑הּ וֶ֝אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ֗ סְבִיבוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

9אַתָּ֣ה מ֭וֹשֵׁל בְּגֵא֣וּת הַיָּ֑ם בְּשׂ֥וֹא גַ֝לָּ֗יו אַתָּ֥ה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽם׃

10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

10אַתָּ֤ה דִכִּ֣אתָ כֶחָלָ֣ל רָ֑הַב בִּזְר֥וֹעַ עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ פִּזַּ֥רְתָּ אוֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃

11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

11לְךָ֣ שָׁ֭מַיִם אַף־ לְךָ֥ אָ֑רֶץ תֵּבֵ֥ל וּ֝מְלֹאָ֗הּ אַתָּ֥ה יְסַדְתָּֽם׃

12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

12צָפ֣וֹן וְ֭יָמִין אַתָּ֣ה בְרָאתָ֑ם תָּב֥וֹר וְ֝חֶרְמ֗וֹן בְּשִׁמְךָ֥ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

13לְךָ֣ זְ֭רוֹעַ עִם־ גְּבוּרָ֑ה תָּעֹ֥ז יָ֝דְךָ֗ תָּר֥וּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

14צֶ֣דֶק וּ֭מִשְׁפָּט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֶ֑ךָ חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת יְֽקַדְּמ֥וּ פָנֶֽיךָ׃

15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

15אַשְׁרֵ֣י הָ֭עָם יוֹדְעֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה בְּֽאוֹר־ פָּנֶ֥יךָ יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

16בְּ֭שִׁמְךָ יְגִיל֣וּן כָּל־ הַיּ֑וֹם וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ יָרֽוּמוּ׃

17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

17כִּֽי־ תִפְאֶ֣רֶת עֻזָּ֣מוֹ אָ֑תָּה וּ֝בִרְצֹנְךָ֗ תרים [תָּר֥וּם] (קַרְנֵֽנוּ׃)

18For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

18כִּ֣י לַֽ֭יהוָה מָֽגִנֵּ֑נוּ וְלִקְד֖וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מַלְכֵּֽנוּ׃

19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

19אָ֤ז דִּבַּ֥רְתָּֽ־ בְחָ֡זוֹן לַֽחֲסִידֶ֗יךָ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר שִׁוִּ֣יתִי עֵ֭זֶר עַל־ גִּבּ֑וֹר הֲרִימ֖וֹתִי בָח֣וּר מֵעָֽם׃

20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

20מָ֭צָאתִי דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֑י בְּשֶׁ֖מֶן קָדְשִׁ֣י מְשַׁחְתִּֽיו׃

21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

21אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָ֭דִי תִּכּ֣וֹן עִמּ֑וֹ אַף־ זְרוֹעִ֥י תְאַמְּצֶֽנּוּ׃

22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

22לֹֽא־ יַשִּׁ֣א אוֹיֵ֣ב בּ֑וֹ וּבֶן־ עַ֝וְלָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽנּוּ׃

23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

23וְכַתּוֹתִ֣י מִפָּנָ֣יו צָרָ֑יו וּמְשַׂנְאָ֥יו אֶגּֽוֹף׃

24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

24וֶֽאֶֽמוּנָתִ֣י וְחַסְדִּ֣י עִמּ֑וֹ וּ֝בִשְׁמִ֗י תָּר֥וּם קַרְנֽוֹ׃

25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

25וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י בַיָּ֣ם יָד֑וֹ וּֽבַנְּהָר֥וֹת יְמִינֽוֹ׃

26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

26ה֣וּא יִ֭קְרָאֵנִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אֵ֝לִ֗י וְצ֣וּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃

27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

27אַף־ אָ֭נִי בְּכ֣וֹר אֶתְּנֵ֑הוּ עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן לְמַלְכֵי־ אָֽרֶץ׃

28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

28לְ֭עוֹלָ֗ם [אשמור־] (0אֶשְׁמָר־) ל֣וֹ חַסְדִּ֑י וּ֝בְרִיתִ֗י נֶאֱמֶ֥נֶת לֽוֹ׃

29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

29וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י לָעַ֣ד זַרְע֑וֹ וְ֝כִסְא֗וֹ כִּימֵ֥י שָׁמָֽיִם׃

30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

30אִם־ יַֽעַזְב֣וּ בָ֭נָיו תּוֹרָתִ֑י וּ֝בְמִשְׁפָּטַ֗י לֹ֣א יֵלֵכֽוּן׃

31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

31אִם־ חֻקֹּתַ֥י יְחַלֵּ֑לוּ וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃

32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

32וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י בְשֵׁ֣בֶט פִּשְׁעָ֑ם וּבִנְגָעִ֥ים עֲוֺנָֽם׃

33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

33וְ֭חַסְדִּי לֹֽא־ אָפִ֣יר מֵֽעִמּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־ אֲ֝שַׁקֵּ֗ר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִֽי׃

34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

34לֹא־ אֲחַלֵּ֥ל בְּרִיתִ֑י וּמוֹצָ֥א שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י לֹ֣א אֲשַׁנֶּֽה׃

35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

35אַ֭חַת נִשְׁבַּ֣עְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁ֑י אִֽם־ לְדָוִ֥ד אֲכַזֵּֽב׃

36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

36זַ֭רְעוֹ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יִהְיֶ֑ה וְכִסְא֖וֹ כַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ נֶגְדִּֽי׃

37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

37כְּ֭יָרֵחַ יִכּ֣וֹן עוֹלָ֑ם וְעֵ֥ד בַּ֝שַּׁ֗חַק נֶאֱמָ֥ן סֶֽלָה׃

38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

38וְאַתָּ֣ה זָ֭נַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָ֑ס הִ֝תְעַבַּ֗רְתָּ עִם־ מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

39נֵ֭אַרְתָּה בְּרִ֣ית עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ חִלַּ֖לְתָּ לָאָ֣רֶץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃

40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

40פָּרַ֥צְתָּ כָל־ גְּדֵרֹתָ֑יו שַׂ֖מְתָּ מִבְצָרָ֣יו מְחִתָּה׃‪‬

41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

41שַׁ֭סֻּהוּ כָּל־ עֹ֣בְרֵי דָ֑רֶךְ הָיָ֥ה חֶ֝רְפָּ֗ה לִשְׁכֵנָֽיו׃

42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

42הֲ֭רִימוֹתָ יְמִ֣ין צָרָ֑יו הִ֝שְׂמַ֗חְתָּ כָּל־ אוֹיְבָֽיו׃

43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

43אַף־ תָּ֭שִׁיב צ֣וּר חַרְבּ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א הֲ֝קֵימֹת֗וֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

44הִשְׁבַּ֥תָּ מִטְּהָר֑וֹ וְ֝כִסְא֗וֹ לָאָ֥רֶץ מִגַּֽרְתָּה׃

45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

45הִ֭קְצַרְתָּ יְמֵ֣י עֲלוּמָ֑יו הֶֽעֱטִ֨יתָ עָלָ֖יו בּוּשָׁ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃

46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

46עַד־ מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּסָּתֵ֣ר לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֖ר כְּמוֹ־ אֵ֣שׁ חֲמָתֶֽךָ׃

47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

47זְכָר־ אֲנִ֥י מֶה־ חָ֑לֶד עַל־ מַה־ שָּׁ֝֗וְא בָּרָ֥אתָ כָל־ בְּנֵי־ אָדָֽם׃

48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

48מִ֤י גֶ֣בֶר יִֽ֭חְיֶה וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֶה־ מָּ֑וֶת יְמַלֵּ֨ט נַפְשׁ֖וֹ מִיַּד־ שְׁא֣וֹל סֶֽלָה׃

49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

49אַיֵּ֤ה ׀ חֲסָדֶ֖יךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִ֥ים ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתָּ לְ֝דָוִ֗ד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

50זְכֹ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי חֶרְפַּ֣ת עֲבָדֶ֑יךָ שְׂאֵתִ֥י בְ֝חֵיקִ֗י כָּל־ רַבִּ֥ים עַמִּֽים׃

51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

51אֲשֶׁ֤ר חֵרְפ֖וּ אוֹיְבֶ֥יךָ ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר חֵ֝רְפ֗וּ עִקְּב֥וֹת מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃

52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

52בָּר֖וּךְ יְהוָ֥ה לְ֝עוֹלָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃
