Young's Literal Translation
A
Maskil
of
Ethan the Ezrahite. I
will
sing
of the loving
devotion
of the LORD
forever;
with
my
mouth
I will
proclaim
Your
faithfulness
to all generations .
An
instruction,
by
Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind
acts
of Jehovah,
to
the age
I sing,
To all generations I
make
known
Thy
faithfulness
with
my
mouth,
For I have
said, “Loving
devotion
is built up
forever;
in
the heavens You
establish Your
faithfulness. ”
For I said, `To
the
age
is kindness
built ,
The heavens !
Thou
dost
establish Thy
faithfulness in
them
. '
You
said,
“
I have made a covenant with
My chosen one
, I have sworn to David My servant:
I have made a covenant for
My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
‘
I will
establish your
offspring
forever
and build
up
your
throne for
all
generations
. ’”
Selah
`Even
to
the
age
do
I establish thy
seed,
And have
built
to
generation
and
generation
thy
throne. Selah .
The heavens praise
Your
wonders, O LORD—
Your
faithfulness as
well—
in the
assembly of the
holy ones.
and
the heavens confess
Thy
wonders, O Jehovah,
Thy
faithfulness also
`is'
in an
assembly of holy ones.
For who in the skies
can
compare
with
the
LORD
? Who
among
the
heavenly
beings
is like the LORD
?
For who in the sky,
Compareth
himself
to
Jehovah
? Is like to
Jehovah
among
sons
of
the mighty
?
In the council
of the
holy ones, God
is
greatly
feared,
and awesome
above
all who
surround
Him.
God
is
very
terrible,
In the secret
counsel
of His
holy ones, And fearful
over
all surrounding
Him.
O LORD
God of Hosts, who is like You
? O
mighty
LORD,
Your
faithfulness surrounds
You
.
O Jehovah,
God of Hosts, Who `
is '
like Thee
--
a
strong
Jah
? And
Thy
faithfulness `is'
round
about
Thee
.
You
rule
the raging
sea ;
when
its
waves
mount
up
, You
still
them.
Thou
`art'
ruler
over
the pride
of
the
sea, In
the
lifting
up
of
its
billows
Thou
dost
restrain
them.
You
crushed
Rahab like
a
carcass;
You
scattered
Your
enemies
with Your
mighty
arm.
Thou
hast
bruised
Rahab ,
as
one
wounded.
With the
arm of
Thy
strength
Thou
hast
scattered
Thine
enemies
.
The heavens are
Yours,
and
also
the earth .
The earth
and its fullness
You
founded.
Thine
`are'
the heavens --
the earth also
`is'
Thine,
The habitable
world
and its fulness,
Thou
hast
founded them
.
North and south You
created;
Tabor and Hermon shout
for
joy
at
Your
name.
North and south Thou
hast
appointed
them,
Tabor and Hermon in
Thy
name do
sing
.
Mighty
is
Your
arm ;
strong is Your
hand .
Your
right hand is
exalted
.
Thou
hast
an
arm with
might,
Strong is Thy
hand --
high
Thy
right hand.
Righteousness and justice
are the foundation
of Your
throne ;
loving
devotion
and faithfulness
go before You
.
Righteousness and judgment
`
Are '
the fixed
place
of Thy
throne ,
Kindness
and truth
go before Thy
face
.
Blessed
are
those
who
know
the joyful
sound,
who
walk
, O LORD
, in the light of Your
presence
.
O
the happiness
of
the
people
knowing
the
shout
, O Jehovah
, in the light of Thy
face
they
walk
habitually
.
They
rejoice
in Your
name all day long
, and in Your
righteousness they exult.
In Thy
name they
rejoice
all the
day, And in Thy
righteousness they are
exalted,
For You
are
the glory
of their strength, and by
Your
favor
our horn is
exalted .
For the beauty
of their strength `art'
Thou
, And in
Thy
good
will
is
our horn exalted ,
Surely
our shield belongs
to
the
LORD
, and our
king
to
the Holy One of Israel.
For
of
Jehovah
`is'
our shield, And of
the Holy One of Israel our
king
.
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 .
Then
Thou
hast
spoken
in vision ,
To Thy
saint
, yea,
Thou
sayest,
I have placed
help upon
a mighty
one ,
Exalted
a
chosen one
out
of
the people ,
I have found My servant David;
with My sacred
oil I have anointed him.
I have found David
My servant ,
With My holy
oil I have anointed him.
My hand will
sustain
him;
surely
My arm will
strengthen him.
With
whom
My hand is
established,
My arm also
doth
strengthen him.
No
enemy will
exact
tribute;
no
wicked
man
will
oppress
him.
An
enemy exacteth
not
upon
him ,
And
a
son
of
perverseness
afflicteth
him
not
.
I will
crush
his
foes
before him and strike
down
those who
hate
him .
And
I have
beaten
down
before him his
adversaries,
And those hating
him I
plague,
My faithfulness and loving
devotion
will
be
with him, and through
My name his horn will
be
exalted.
And
My faithfulness and kindness
`are'
with him, And in
My name is
his horn exalted.
I will
set his
hand
over
the sea, and his right hand upon
the
rivers
.
And
I have
set on
the sea his
hand
, And on
the
rivers
his right hand.
He will
call
to
Me ,
‘You
are
my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation. ’
He proclaimeth
me :
`Thou
`art'
my Father, My God, and
the rock of my salvation. '
I will
indeed
appoint him as
My
firstborn
, the
highest of the kings of the earth.
I also
first-born
do
appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.
I will
forever
preserve
My
loving
devotion
for him, and My covenant with him will
stand
fast
.
To
the
age
I keep
for him My
kindness
, And My covenant `is'
stedfast
with him.
I will
establish
his line
forever
, his throne as long
as
the heavens endure
.
And
I have
set
his seed
for
ever
, And
his throne as the days
of
the
heavens.
If his sons forsake My law and do
not
walk
in My judgments ,
If his sons forsake My law ,
And in My judgments do
not
walk;
if they
violate
My statutes and fail
to
keep
My commandments
,
If My statutes they
pollute,
And My commands
do
not
keep
,
I will
attend
to
their
transgression
with the
rod, and to
their iniquity with
stripes.
I have
looked
after
with a
rod their
transgression
, And with
strokes
their iniquity ,
But
I will
not withdraw
My
loving
devotion
from him, nor ever
betray
My faithfulness.
And
My
kindness
I break
not from him, Nor do
I
deal
falsely
in
My faithfulness.
I will
not violate
My covenant or
alter
the
utterance
of
My lips.
I profane
not My covenant ,
And
that
which
is
going
forth
from
My lips I
change
not
.
Once and
for
all
I have sworn by My holiness —
I will
not
lie to David —
Once I have sworn by My holiness ,
I lie not
to David ,
his offspring
shall
endure
forever
, and his throne before
Me
like
the sun,
His seed
is
to
the
age
, And his throne `is'
as
the sun before
Me
,
like
the moon ,
established forever
, a
faithful
witness in the sky. ”
Selah
As
the moon it
is
established --
to
the
age
, And
the
witness in the sky is
stedfast
. Selah .
Now
, however
, You
have
spurned
and rejected
him;
You
are
enraged
by
Your
anointed one.
And
Thou
, Thou
hast
cast
off
, and dost
reject,
Thou
hast
shown
Thyself
wroth
With
Thine
anointed ,
You
have
renounced
the covenant with
Your
servant and
sullied
his crown in
the
dust.
Hast
rejected
the covenant of
Thy
servant ,
Thou
hast
polluted
to
the
earth
his crown ,
You
have
broken down all his walls;
You
have
reduced
his strongholds
to
rubble
.
Thou
hast
broken down all his hedges,
Thou
hast
made
his fenced
places
a
ruin
.
All who
pass
by plunder
him;
he has
become
a reproach to his neighbors.
Spoiled
him
have
all passing
by the
way,
He hath
been
a reproach to his neighbours,
You
have
exalted the right hand of his foes;
You
have
made
all his enemies rejoice.
Thou
hast
exalted the right hand of his adversaries,
Thou
hast
caused
all his enemies to
rejoice.
You
have
bent
the edge
of his sword and have
not sustained
him in battle .
Also
--
Thou
turnest
back
the sharpness
of his sword ,
And hast
not established
him in battle ,
You
have
ended
his splendor
and cast
his throne to the ground
.
Hast
caused
`him'
to
cease
from
his brightness,
And his throne to the earth
hast
cast
down
.
You
have
cut
short
the days of his youth ;
You
have
covered him with shame. Selah
Thou
hast
shortened
the days of his youth ,
Hast
covered him over
`
with '
shame. Selah .
How
long
, O LORD?
Will
You
hide
Yourself
forever
? Will
Your
wrath
keep
burning
like
fire?
Till
when
, O Jehovah,
art
Thou
hidden
? For
ever
doth
Thy
fury
burn
as
fire?
Remember the
briefness
of
my
lifespan!
For
what futility
You
have
created all men !
Remember ,
I
pray
Thee,
what `is'
life-time?
Wherefore
in
vain
hast
Thou
created All the
sons
of
men ?
What
man can
live
and never
see death? Can
he deliver
his soul from the power
of Sheol ?
Selah
Who
`is'
the
man that
liveth,
and doth
not
see death? He delivereth
his soul from the hand
of Sheol .
Selah .
Where, O Lord ,
is
Your
loving
devotion
of
old,
which
You
faithfully
swore
to David ?
Where `are'
Thy
former
kindnesses
, O Lord .
Thou
hast
sworn
to David in
Thy
faithfulness,
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your
servants, which
I bear
in my heart
from
so
many
people—
Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy
servants, I have
borne
in my bosom
all
the
strivings
of
the
peoples,
how
Your
enemies have
taunted
, O LORD
, and
have mocked
every
step
of Your
anointed one!
Wherewith
Thine
enemies reproached
, O Jehovah
, Wherewith
they
have reproached
The
steps
of Thine
anointed .
Blessed be
the LORD
forever!
Amen and amen .
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
to
the age.
Amen ,
and amen !
