1A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

2I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.

2Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

3You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant,

3The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him:

4I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.'"

4‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude

5The heavens praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.

5All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.

6For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings?

6For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD?

7In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.

7The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.

8Who is like you, LORD God Almighty? You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

8O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD? You are entirely faithful.

9You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

10You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.

15Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

15Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

19Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people.

19Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, “I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king.

20I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.

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

21My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.

21I will steady him with my hand; with my powerful arm I will make him strong.

22The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him.

22His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.

23I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.

23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

24My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.

24My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power.

25I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

25I will extend his rule over the sea, his dominion over the rivers.

26He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.'

26And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

27And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

27I will make him my firstborn son, the mightiest king on earth.

28I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.

28I will love him and be kind to him forever; my covenant with him will never end.

29I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30"If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,

30But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,

31if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

31if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

32I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;

32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating.

33but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.

33But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him.

34I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

34No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.

35Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness-- and I will not lie to David--

35I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie:

36that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;

36His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.

37it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky."

37It will be as eternal as the moon, my faithful witness in the sky!” Interlude

38But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.

38But now you have rejected him and cast him off. You are angry with your anointed king.

39You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.

39You have renounced your covenant with him; you have thrown his crown in the dust.

40You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.

40You have broken down the walls protecting him and ruined every fort defending him.

41All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.

41Everyone who comes along has robbed him, and he has become a joke to his neighbors.

42You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.

42You have strengthened his enemies and made them all rejoice.

43Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.

43You have made his sword useless and refused to help him in battle.

44You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.

44You have ended his splendor and overturned his throne.

45You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.

45You have made him old before his time and publicly disgraced him. Interlude

46How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?

46O LORD, how long will this go on? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

47Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!

47Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!

48Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?

48No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave. Interlude

49Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?

49Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.

50Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,

50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

51the taunts with which your enemies, LORD, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.

51Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

52Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

52Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
