*A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.*

## Text

[1] I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever;
with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations. [2] For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever;
in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.” [3] You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one,
I have sworn to David My servant: [4] ‘I will establish your offspring forever
and build up your throne for all generations.’”
Selah [5] The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD—
Your faithfulness as well—
in the assembly of the holy ones. [6] For who in the skies can compare with the LORD?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD? [7] In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared,
and awesome above all who surround Him. [8] O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You?
O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You. [9] You rule the raging sea;
when its waves mount up, You still them. [10] You crushed Rahab like a carcass;
You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. [11] The heavens are Yours, and also the earth.
The earth and its fullness You founded. [12] North and south You created;
Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. [13] Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand.
Your right hand is exalted. [14] Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
loving devotion and faithfulness go before You. [15] Blessed are those who know the joyful sound,
who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence. [16] They rejoice in Your name all day long,
and in Your righteousness they exult. [17] For You are the glory of their strength,
and by Your favor our horn is exalted. [18] Surely our shield belongs to the LORD,
and our king to the Holy One of Israel. [19] You once spoke in a vision;
to Your godly ones You said,
“I have bestowed help on a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen from the people. [20] I have found My servant David;
with My sacred oil I have anointed him. [21] My hand will sustain him;
surely My arm will strengthen him. [22] No enemy will exact tribute;
no wicked man will oppress him. [23] I will crush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him. [24] My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him,
and through My name his horn will be exalted. [25] I will set his hand over the sea,
and his right hand upon the rivers. [26] He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, the Rock of my salvation.’ [27] I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth. [28] I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him,
and My covenant with him will stand fast. [29] I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as the heavens endure. [30] If his sons forsake My law
and do not walk in My judgments, [31] if they violate My statutes
and fail to keep My commandments, [32] I will attend to their transgression with the rod,
and to their iniquity with stripes. [33] But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him,
nor ever betray My faithfulness. [34] I will not violate My covenant
or alter the utterance of My lips. [35] Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—
I will not lie to David— [36] his offspring shall endure forever,
and his throne before Me like the sun, [37] like the moon, established forever,
a faithful witness in the sky.”
Selah [38] Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him;
You are enraged by Your anointed one. [39] You have renounced the covenant with Your servant
and sullied his crown in the dust. [40] You have broken down all his walls;
You have reduced his strongholds to rubble. [41] All who pass by plunder him;
he has become a reproach to his neighbors. [42] You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
You have made all his enemies rejoice. [43] You have bent the edge of his sword
and have not sustained him in battle. [44] You have ended his splendor
and cast his throne to the ground. [45] You have cut short the days of his youth;
You have covered him with shame.
Selah [46] How long, O LORD?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath keep burning like fire? [47] Remember the briefness of my lifespan!
For what futility You have created all men! [48] What man can live and never see death?
Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?
Selah [49] Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old,
which You faithfully swore to David? [50] Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants,
which I bear in my heart from so many people— [51] how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD,
and have mocked every step of Your anointed one! [52] Blessed be the LORD forever!
Amen and amen.
