1Of understanding, for Ethan the Ezrahite.
2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.
3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.
4I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:
5Thy seed will I settle for ever. And I will build up thy throne unto generation and generation.
