Dost thou work wonders for the dead? Do the shades rise up to praise thee? [Selah]

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of thy steadfast love, O LORD, for ever; with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations.

For thy steadfast love was established for ever, thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens.

'I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.'" [Selah]

For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD,

For thou art the glory of their strength; by thy favor our horn is exalted.

For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

My steadfast love I will keep for him for ever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.

I will establish his line for ever and his throne as the days of the heavens.

Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

His line shall endure for ever, his throne as long as the sun before me.

Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand firm while the skies endure." [Selah]

How long, O LORD? Wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long will thy wrath burn like fire?

Remember, O Lord, what the measure of life is, for what vanity thou hast created all the sons of men!

Blessed be the LORD for ever! Amen and Amen.

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

For we are consumed by thy anger; by thy wrath we are overwhelmed.

For all our days pass away under thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh.

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;

For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.
