A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave.

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

For who in the heaven can be compared to the LORD? [who] among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?

The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as for] the world, and the fullness of it, thou hast founded them.

For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.

For the LORD [is] our defense; and the Holy One of Israel [is] our king.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

How long, LORD, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen and amen.

For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years, as a tale [that is told].

The days of our years [are] seventy years; and if by reason of strength [they are] eighty years, yet [is] their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;
