1“A psalm 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 know that thy mercy endureth for ever; Thou hast established thy truth like the heavens.
3“I have made a covenant with my chosen; I have sworn to David, my servant:
4Thy family I will establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.” Pause.
5The heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD! And the assembly of the holy ones thy truth!
6Who in the heavens can be compared to Jehovah? Who is like Jehovah among the sons of God?
7A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones, And to be had in reverence above all who are around him?
8O Jehovah, God of hosts! Who is mighty like thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9Thou rulest the raging of the sea; When the waves thereof rise, thou stillest them!
10Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.
11The heavens are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.
12The North and the South were created by thee; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13Thine is a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high thy right hand.
