1Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn to David my servant,
4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD; thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6For who in the heaven can be compared to the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?
7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence by all them that are about him.
8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like to thee? or to thy faithfulness around thee?
9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thy enemies with thy strong arm.
11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world, and the fullness of it, thou hast founded them.
