1 <V 88:1>The understanding of Ethan the Ezrahite. <V 88:2>I will sing the mercies of the Lord in eternity. I will announce your truth with my mouth, from generation to generation. I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. A 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.
2 <V 88:3>For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. Your truth will be prepared there. For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.” I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
3 <V 88:4>I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant: You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant,
4 <V 88:5>I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity. And I will build up your throne, from generation to generation. ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.’” Selah I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.’”
5 <V 88:6>The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, and also your truth, in the Church of the saints. Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! The heavens praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 <V 88:7>For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? Who among the sons of God is like God? For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings?
7 <V 88:8>God is glorified by the counsel of the saints. He is great and terrible above all those who are around him. a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.
8 <V 88:9>O Lord, God of hosts, who is like you? You are powerful, Lord, and your truth is all around you. O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you? Who is like you, LORD God Almighty? You, LORD, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
9 <V 88:10>You rule over the power of the sea, and you even mitigate the movement of its waves. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.
10 <V 88:11>You have humbled the arrogant one, like one who has been wounded. You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength. You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.
11 <V 88:12>Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness. The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.
12 <V 88:13>You created the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name. The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name. You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name.
13 <V 88:14>Your arm acts with power. Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted. You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
14 <V 88:15>Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
15 <V 88:16>Blessed is the people that knows jubilation. They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord, Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
16 <V 88:17>and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice. who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.
17 <V 88:18>For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted. For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. For you are their glory and strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn.
18 <V 88:19>For our assumption is of the Lord, and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel. For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel. Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 <V 88:20>Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people. 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. Once 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.
20 <V 88:21>I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil. I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him, I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.

22 <V 88:23>The enemy will have no advantage over him, nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him. The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him. The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him.
23 <V 88:24>And I will cut down his enemies before his face. And those who hate him, I will turn to flight. I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.
24 <V 88:25>And my truth and my mercy will be with him. And his horn will be exalted in my name. My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted. My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.
25 <V 88:26>And I will place his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers. I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.
26 <V 88:27>He will invoke me: “You are my father, my God, and the support of my salvation.” He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’ He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’
27 <V 88:28>And I will make him the first-born, preeminent before the kings of the earth. And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28 <V 88:29>I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, and my covenant for him faithfully. My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him. I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.

30 <V 88:31>But if his sons abandon my law, and if they do not walk in my judgments, If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, “If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,
31 <V 88:32>if they profane my justices, and if they do not keep my commandments: if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
32 <V 88:33>I will visit their iniquities with a rod, and their sins with a beating. then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;
33 <V 88:34>But I will not scatter my mercy from him, and I will not do harm to my truth. but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness. but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 <V 88:35>And I will not profane my covenant, and I will not make void that which proceeds from my lips. I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips. I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.
35 <V 88:36>I have sworn by my holiness one time: I will not lie to David, Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David. Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—
36 <V 88:37>his offspring will remain for eternity. And his throne will be like the sun in my sight, His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me. that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37 <V 88:38>and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven. Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”
38 <V 88:39>Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, you have pushed away, my Christ. But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed. But you have rejected, you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 <V 88:40>You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his sanctuary on earth. You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust. You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.
40 <V 88:41>You have destroyed all his fences. You have made his territory dreadful. You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins. You have broken through all his walls and reduced his strongholds to ruins.
41 <V 88:42>All who pass by the way have plundered him. He has become a disgrace to his neighbors. All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors. All who pass by have plundered him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.
42 <V 88:43>You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. You have brought joy to all his enemies. You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice. You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.
43 <V 88:44>You have diverted the help of his sword, and you have not assisted him in battle. You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle. Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.
44 <V 88:45>You have torn him away from cleansing, and you have smashed his throne down to the ground. You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground. You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
45 <V 88:46>You have reduced the days of his time. You have flooded him with confusion. You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.
46 <V 88:47>How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? Will your wrath flare up like a fire? How long, O LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire? How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?
47 <V 88:48>Remember what my substance is. For could you really have appointed all the sons of men in vain? Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man! Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 <V 88:49>Who is the man that will live, and yet not see death? Who will rescue his own soul from the hand of the underworld? What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?
49 <V 88:50>O Lord, where are your mercies of antiquity, just as you swore to David in your truth? Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David? Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 <V 88:51>Be mindful, O Lord, of the disgrace of your servants (which I have sustained in my sinews) among many nations. Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults of all the many nations, Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 <V 88:52>With these, your enemies have reproached you, O Lord; with these, they have reproached the commutation of your Christ. with which your enemies mock, O LORD, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed. the taunts with which your enemies, LORD, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.
52 <V 88:53>Blessed is the Lord for all eternity. Amen. Amen. Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.
