1 A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the graciousness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth. 2 For I have said, “Graciousness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.” 3 “I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David, 4 I will establish your descendants forever And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah 5 The heavens will praise Your wonders, LORD; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 6 For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD, 7 A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him? 8 LORD God of armies, who is like You, mighty LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 9 You rule the surging of the sea; When its waves rise, You calm them. 10 You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. 11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have established them. 12 The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. 13 You have a strong arm; Your hand is mighty, Your right hand is exalted. 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before You. 15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! LORD, they walk in the light of Your face. 16 In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted. 17 For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted. 18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel. 19 Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. 20 “I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, 21 With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.
