The Davidic Covenant

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

Maschil
1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. H · G · S  
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. H · G · S  
3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, H · G · S  
4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

H · G · S  
5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. H · G · S  the heavens
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? H · G · S  
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. H · G · S  
8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? H · G · S  
9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. H · G · S  
10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

H · G · S  Rahab
11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. H · G · S  earth also is thine
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. H · G · S  created them Tabor and Hermon
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. H · G · S  
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. H · G · S  
15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. H · G · S  
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. H · G · S  
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. H · G · S  
18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

H · G · S  
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. H · G · S  holy one
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: H · G · S  anointed A1322 13V14
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. H · G · S  
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. H · G · S  
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. H · G · S  
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. H · G · S  
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. H · G · S  in the rivers
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. H · G · S  
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. H · G · S  my firstborn
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. H · G · S  
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

H · G · S  
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; H · G · S  
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; H · G · S  
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. H · G · S  
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. H · G · S  
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. H · G · S  
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. H · G · S  
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. H · G · S  
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

H · G · S  for ever as the moon
38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. H · G · S  wroth with thine anointed
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. H · G · S  
40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. H · G · S  
41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. H · G · S  
42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. H · G · S  
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. H · G · S  
44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. H · G · S  
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

H · G · S  
46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? H · G · S  
47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? H · G · S  
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. H · G · S  
49 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? H · G · S  
50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; H · G · S  
51 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. H · G · S  
52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. H · G · S  Amen, and Amen
