MaschilH4905 of EthanH387 the EzrahiteH250. I will singH7891 of the merciesH2617 of the LORDH3068 for everH5769: with my mouthH6310 will I make knownH3045 thy faithfulnessH530 to allH1755 generationsH1755. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all…: Heb. to generation and generation}
For I have saidH559, MercyH2617 shall be built upH1129 for everH5769: thy faithfulnessH530 shalt thou establishH3559 in the very heavensH8064.
I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with my chosenH972, I have swornH7650 unto DavidH1732 my servantH5650,
Thy seedH2233 will I establishH3559 forH5704 everH5769, and build upH1129 thy throneH3678 to allH1755 generationsH1755. SelahH5542.
And the heavensH8064 shall praiseH3034 thy wondersH6382, O LORDH3068: thy faithfulnessH530 also in the congregationH6951 of the saintsH6918.
For who in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 unto the LORDH3068? who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 unto the LORDH3068?
GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saintsH6918, and to be had in reverenceH3372 of all them that are aboutH5439 him.
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, who is a strongH2626 LORDH3050 like unto thee? or to thy faithfulnessH530 round aboutH5439 thee?
Thou rulestH4910 the ragingH1348 of the seaH3220: when the wavesH1530 thereof ariseH7721, thou stillestH7623 them.
Thou hast brokenH1792 RahabH7294 in piecesH1792, as one that is slainH2491; thou hast scatteredH6340 thine enemiesH341 with thy strongH5797 armH2220. {Rahab: or, Egypt} {thy…: Heb. the arm of thy strength}
The heavensH8064 are thine, the earthH776 also is thine: as for the worldH8398 and the fulnessH4393 thereof, thou hast foundedH3245 them. {the fulness…: or, all it containeth}
The northH6828 and the southH3225 thou hast createdH1254 them: TaborH8396 and HermonH2768 shall rejoiceH7442 in thy nameH8034.
Thou hast a mightyH1369 armH2220: strongH5810 is thy handH3027, and highH7311 is thy right handH3225. {a…: Heb. an arm with might}
JusticeH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of thy throneH3678: mercyH2617 and truthH571 shall goH6923 before thy faceH6440. {habitation: or, establishment}
BlessedH835 is the peopleH5971 that knowH3045 the joyful soundH8643: they shall walkH1980, O LORDH3068, in the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440.
In thy nameH8034 shall they rejoiceH1523 all the dayH3117: and in thy righteousnessH6666 shall they be exaltedH7311.
For thou art the gloryH8597 of their strengthH5797: and in thy favourH7522 our hornH7161 shall be exaltedH7311+H7311.
For the LORDH3068 is our defenceH4043; and the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 is our kingH4428. {the LORD…: or, our shield is of the LORD, and our king is of the Holy One of Israel}
Then thou spakestH1696 in visionH2377 to thy holy oneH2623, and saidstH559, I have laidH7737 helpH5828 upon one that is mightyH1368; I have exaltedH7311 one chosenH977 out of the peopleH5971.
I have foundH4672 DavidH1732 my servantH5650; with my holyH6944 oilH8081 have I anointedH4886 him:
With whom my handH3027 shall be establishedH3559: mine armH2220 also shall strengthenH553 him.
The enemyH341 shall not exactH5378 upon him; nor the sonH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 him.
And I will beat downH3807 his foesH6862 before his faceH6440, and plagueH5062 them that hateH8130 him.
But my faithfulnessH530 and my mercyH2617 shall be with him: and in my nameH8034 shall his hornH7161 be exaltedH7311.
I will setH7760 his handH3027 also in the seaH3220, and his right handH3225 in the riversH5104.
He shall cryH7121 unto me, Thou art my fatherH1, my GodH410, and the rockH6697 of my salvationH3444.
Also I will makeH5414 him my firstbornH1060, higherH5945 than the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.
My mercyH2617 will I keepH8104 for him for evermoreH5769, and my covenantH1285 shall stand fastH539 with him.
His seedH2233 also will I makeH7760 to endure for everH5703, and his throneH3678 as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.
If his childrenH1121 forsakeH5800 my lawH8451, and walkH3212 not in my judgmentsH4941;
If they breakH2490 my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 not my commandmentsH4687; {break: Heb. profane}
Then will I visitH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the rodH7626, and their iniquityH5771 with stripesH5061.
Nevertheless my lovingkindnessH2617 will I not utterly takeH6331 from him, nor suffer my faithfulnessH530 to failH8266. {will…: Heb. I will not make void from him} {to fall: Heb. to lie}
My covenantH1285 will I not breakH2490, nor alterH8138 the thing that is gone outH4161 of my lipsH8193.
OnceH259 have I swornH7650 by my holinessH6944 that I will not lieH3576 unto DavidH1732. {that…: Heb. if I lie}
His seedH2233 shall endure for everH5769, and his throneH3678 as the sunH8121 before me.
It shall be establishedH3559 for everH5769 as the moonH3394, and as a faithfulH539 witnessH5707 in heavenH7834. SelahH5542.
But thou hast cast offH2186 and abhorredH3988, thou hast been wrothH5674 with thine anointedH4899.
Thou hast made voidH5010 the covenantH1285 of thy servantH5650: thou hast profanedH2490 his crownH5145 by casting it to the groundH776.
Thou hast broken downH6555 all his hedgesH1448; thou hast broughtH7760 his strong holdsH4013 to ruinH4288.
All that pass byH5674 the wayH1870 spoilH8155 him: he is a reproachH2781 to his neighboursH7934.
Thou hast set upH7311 the right handH3225 of his adversariesH6862; thou hast made all his enemiesH341 to rejoiceH8055.
Thou hast also turnedH7725 the edgeH6697 of his swordH2719, and hast not made him to standH6965 in the battleH4421.
Thou hast made his gloryH2892 to ceaseH7673, and castH4048 his throneH3678 downH4048 to the groundH776. {glory: Heb. brightness}
The daysH3117 of his youthH5934 hast thou shortenedH7114: thou hast coveredH5844 him with shameH955. SelahH5542.
How long, LORDH3068? wilt thou hideH5641 thyself for everH5331? shall thy wrathH2534 burnH1197 like fireH784?
RememberH2142 how shortH2465 my time is: wherefore hast thou madeH1254 all menH1121+H120 in vainH7723?
What manH1397 is he that livethH2421, and shall not seeH7200 deathH4194? shall he deliverH4422 his soulH5315 from the handH3027 of the graveH7585? SelahH5542.
LordH136, where are thy formerH7223 lovingkindnessesH2617, which thou swarestH7650 unto DavidH1732 in thy truthH530?
RememberH2142, LordH136, the reproachH2781 of thy servantsH5650; how I do bearH5375 in my bosomH2436 the reproach of all the mightyH7227 peopleH5971;
Wherewith thine enemiesH341 have reproachedH2778, O LORDH3068; wherewith they have reproachedH2778 the footstepsH6119 of thine anointedH4899.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 for evermoreH5769. AmenH543, and AmenH543.

ButH637 thou hast cast offH2186, and put us to shameH3637; and goest not forthH3318 with our armiesH6635.
Thou makest us to turnH7725 backH268 from the enemyH6862: and they which hateH8130 us spoilH8154 for themselves.
Thou hast givenH5414 us like sheepH6629 appointed for meatH3978; and hast scatteredH2219 us among the heathenH1471. {like…: Heb. as sheep of meat}
Thou sellestH4376 thy peopleH5971 for noughtH1952, and dost not increaseH7235 thy wealth by their priceH4242. {for…: Heb. without riches}
Thou makestH7760 us a reproachH2781 to our neighboursH7934, a scornH3933 and a derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us.
Thou makestH7760 us a bywordH4912 among the heathenH1471, a shakingH4493 of the headH7218 among the peopleH3816.
My confusionH3639 is continuallyH3117 before me, and the shameH1322 of my faceH6440 hath coveredH3680 me,
For the voiceH6963 of him that reproachethH2778 and blasphemethH1442; by reasonH6440 of the enemyH341 and avengerH5358.
All this is comeH935 upon us; yet have we not forgottenH7911 thee, neither have we dealt falselyH8266 in thy covenantH1285.
Our heartH3820 is not turnedH5472 backH268, neither have our stepsH838 declinedH5186 from thy wayH734; {steps: or, goings}
Though thou hast sore brokenH1794 us in the placeH4725 of dragonsH8577, and coveredH3680 us with the shadow of deathH6757.
If we have forgottenH7911 the nameH8034 of our GodH430, or stretched outH6566 our handsH3709 to a strangeH2114 godH410;
Shall not GodH430 search this outH2713? for he knowethH3045 the secretsH8587 of the heartH3820.
Yea, for thy sake are we killedH2026 all the dayH3117 long; we are countedH2803 as sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878.
AwakeH5782, why sleepestH3462 thou, O LordH136? ariseH6974, cast us not offH2186 for everH5331.
Wherefore hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440, and forgettestH7911 our afflictionH6040 and our oppressionH3906?
For our soulH5315 is bowed downH7743 to the dustH6083: our bellyH990 cleavethH1692 unto the earthH776.

To the chief MusicianH5329 upon ShushaneduthH7802, MichtamH4387 of DavidH1732, to teachH3925; when he stroveH5327 with AramnaharaimH763+H5104 and with AramzobahH760, when JoabH3097 returnedH7725, and smoteH5221 of EdomH123 in the valleyH1516 of saltH4417 twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505. O GodH430, thou hast cast us offH2186, thou hast scatteredH6555 us, thou hast been displeasedH599; O turn thyself to us againH7725. {Michtam: or, A golden Psalm} {scattered: Heb. broken}
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
Wilt not thou, O GodH430, which hadst cast us offH2186? and thou, O GodH430, which didst not go outH3318 with our armiesH6635?
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, he abhorredH5006 them, because of the provokingH3708 of his sonsH1121, and of his daughtersH1323. {abhorred: or, despised}
Ye mountainsH2022 of GilboaH1533, let there be no dewH2919, neither let there be rainH4306, upon you, nor fieldsH7704 of offeringsH8641: for there the shieldH4043 of the mightyH1368 is vilely cast awayH1602, the shieldH4043 of SaulH7586, as though he had not been anointedH4899 with oilH8081.
The LordH136 hath cast offH2186 his altarH4196, he hath abhorredH5010 his sanctuaryH4720, he hath given upH5462 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341 the wallsH2346 of her palacesH759; they have madeH5414 a noiseH6963 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as in the dayH3117 of a solemn feastH4150. {given up: Heb. shut up}
But if he thus sayH559, I have no delightH2654 in thee; behold, here am I, let him doH6213 to me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto him.
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me. {lothed…: Heb. was straightened for them}
And it came to pass, when RehoboamH7346 had establishedH3559 the kingdomH4438, and had strengthenedH2393 himself, he forsookH5800 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and all IsraelH3478 with him.
And it came to pass, that in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, because they had transgressedH4603 against the LORDH3068,
With twelve hundredH3967+H505 chariotsH7393, and threescoreH8346 thousandH505 horsemenH6571: and the peopleH5971 were without numberH4557 that cameH935 with him out of EgyptH4714; the LubimsH3864, the SukkiimsH5525, and the EthiopiansH3569.
And he tookH3920 the fencedH4694 citiesH5892 which pertained to JudahH3063, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Then cameH935 ShemaiahH8098 the prophetH5030 to RehoboamH7346, and to the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, that were gathered togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of ShishakH7895, and saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye have forsakenH5800 me, and therefore have I alsoH637 leftH5800 you in the handH3027 of ShishakH7895.
Whereupon the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478 and the kingH4428 humbledH3665 themselves; and they saidH559, The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662.
And when the LORDH3068 sawH7200 that they humbledH3665 themselves, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ShemaiahH8098, sayingH559, They have humbledH3665 themselves; therefore I will not destroyH7843 them, but I will grantH5414 them someH4592 deliveranceH6413; and my wrathH2534 shall not be poured outH5413 upon JerusalemH3389 by the handH3027 of ShishakH7895. {some: or, a little while}
Nevertheless they shall be his servantsH5650; that they may knowH3045 my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
So ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, and took awayH3947 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004; he tookH3947 all: he carried awayH3947 also the shieldsH4043 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213.
Instead of which kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 madeH6213 shieldsH4043 of brassH5178, and committedH6485 them to the handsH3027 of the chiefH8269 of the guardH7323, that keptH8104 the entranceH6607 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004.
And whenH1767 the kingH4428 enteredH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the guardH7323 cameH935 and fetchedH5375 them, and brought them againH7725 into the guardH7323 chamberH8372.
And when he humbledH3665 himself, the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from him, that he would not destroyH7843 him altogetherH3617: and also in JudahH3063 thingsH1697 went wellH2896. {and also…: or, and yet in Judah there were good things}
RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
The breathH7307 of our nostrilsH639, the anointedH4899 of the LORDH3068, was takenH3920 in their pitsH7825, of whom we saidH559, Under his shadowH6738 we shall liveH2421 among the heathenH1471.
