1 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. | C | TOSK |
2 For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.” | C | TOSK |
3 You said, "I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant: | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | ATN |
4 'I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.'" Selah | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | ATN |
5 The heavens praise Your wonders, O LORD—Your faithfulness as well—in the assembly of the holy ones. | C | TOSK |
6 For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD? | C | TOSK |
7 In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him. | C | TOSK |
8 O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You. | C | TOSK |
9 You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them. | C | TOSK |
10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. | C | TOSK |
11 The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded. | C | TOSK |
12 North and south You created; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name. | C | TOSK |
13 Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted. | C | TOSK |
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You. | C | TOSK |
15 Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O LORD, in the light of Your presence. | C | TOSK |
16 They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult. | C | TOSK |
17 For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted. | C | TOSK |
18 Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel. | C | TOSK |
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. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | ATN |
20 I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT³ | ATN |
21 My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
22 No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
24 My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
25 I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
26 He will call to Me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.' | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | LT | ATN |
27 I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | ATN |
28 I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | ATN |
29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | ATN |
30 If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments, | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
31 if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments, | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
32 I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
33 But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
34 I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
35 Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—I will not lie to David— | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
36 his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun, | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
37 like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky." Selah | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
38 Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one. | IP | C | TOSK |
39 You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust. | C | TOSK |
40 You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble. | C | TOSK |
41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors. | C | TOSK |
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice. | C | TOSK |
43 You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle. | C | TOSK |
44 You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground. | C | TOSK |
45 You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah | C | TOSK |
46 How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire? | TOSK |
47 Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men! | TOSK |
48 What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah | TOSK |
49 Where, O Lord, is Your loving devotion of old, which You faithfully swore to David? | IP¹ | IP² | TOSK | TT |
50 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people— | IP¹ | IP² | TOSK |
51 how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one! | TOSK |
52 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen. | TOSK |
