1. An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,
2. For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'
3. I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:
4. `Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. Selah.
5. and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.
6. For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?
7. God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.
8. O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee--a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.
9. Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.
10. Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.
11. Thine [are] the heavens--the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.
12. North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.
13. Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand--high Thy right hand.
