⁹⁰ To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.

⁴ A generation is going, and a generation is coming, and the earth to the age is standing.

⁶ And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.

¹ An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

² For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'

⁵ O Jehovah, in the heavens `is' Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness `is' unto the clouds.

⁵ for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,

⁶ through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed;

⁷ and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.

²⁰ Thou givest truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That thou hast sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!

⁵ He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the age and for ever.

⁵ For good `is' Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!

¹ Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

¹¹ Thine `are' the heavens -- the earth also `is' Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.

⁴ Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

⁵ Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?

⁶ On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

⁷ In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

⁹ `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He `is' God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those loving Him, and to those keeping His commands -- to a thousand generations,
