A maskil[b] of Ethan the Ezrahite.

1 I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever;     with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known     through all generations. 2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever,     that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. 3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,     I have sworn to David my servant, 4 ‘I will establish your line forever     and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[c]


5 The heavens praise your wonders, Lord,     your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. 6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?     Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? 7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared;     he is more awesome than all who surround him. 8 Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?     You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.


9 You rule over the surging sea;     when its waves mount up, you still them. 10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain;     with your strong arm you scattered your enemies. 11 The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth;     you founded the world and all that is in it. 12 You created the north and the south;     Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. 13 Your arm is endowed with power;     your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
