A Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite.

With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.

aYour faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”

I have bsworn to My servant David: 
4 ‘Your seed I will establish forever,
And build up your throne ato all generations.’ ” Selah 
5 And athe heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints. 
6 aFor who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord? 
7 aGod is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.
