For the LORD {is} good; his mercy {is} everlasting; and his truth {endureth} to all generations. {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

Thy mercy, O LORD, {is} in the heavens; {and} thy faithfulness {reacheth} unto the clouds.

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, {wherewith} he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, {and} the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

[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. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

The heavens {are} thine, the earth also {is} thine: {as for} the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. {the fulness...: or, all it containeth}

{Who} laid the foundations of the earth, {that} it should not be removed for ever. {Who...: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he {is} God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: {standing: Gr. consisting}

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. {hast...: Heb. knowest understanding}

{One} generation passeth away, and {another} generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, {even} his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: {so...: or, that they may be}

[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. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

For he spake, and it was {done}; he commanded, and it stood fast.

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

{One} generation passeth away, and {another} generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

For the LORD {is} good; his mercy {is} everlasting; and his truth {endureth} to all generations. {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; {being} girded with power:

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth {it}, that {men} should fear before him.

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

And he built his sanctuary like high {palaces}, like the earth which he hath established for ever. {established: Heb. founded}
