1 I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
1 I will sing of the loving-kindness of Jehovah for ever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness from generation to generation.
2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
2Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
2 For I said, Loving-kindness shall be built up for ever; in the very heavens wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant:
3Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
3 I have made a covenant with mine elect, I have sworn unto David my servant:
4Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. [Selah
4For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne from generation to generation. Selah.
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah; Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
5Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
5 And the heavens shall celebrate thy wonders, O Jehovah, and thy faithfulness in the congregation of the saints.
6For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like unto Jehovah,
6In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
6 For who in the heaven can be compared to Jehovah? [who] among the sons of the mighty shall be likened to Jehovah?
7A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones, And to be feared above all them that are round about him?
7For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
7 God is greatly to be feared in the council of the saints, and terrible for all that are round about him.
8O Jehovah God of hosts, Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
8 Jehovah,God of hosts, who is like unto thee, the strong Jah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
9Thou rulest the pride of the sea: When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
9For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
9 Thou rulest the pride of the sea: when its waves arise, thou stillest them.
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
10The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
10 Thou hast crushed Rahab as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
11Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
11 Thine are the heavens, the earth also is thine; the world and its fulness, thou hast founded them.
12The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
12Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
12 The north and the south, thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon triumph in thy name.
13Thou hast a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
13Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
13 Thine is the arm of might: strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand.
14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
14We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
14 Righteousness and judgment are the foundation of thy throne; loving-kindness and truth go before thy face.
15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
15We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
15 Blessed is the people that know the shout of joy: they walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
16In thy name do they rejoice all the day; And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
16Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
16 In thy name are they joyful all the day, and in thy righteousness are they exalted.
17For thou art the glory of their strength; And in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
17And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength; and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
