"I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant: "
— Psalms 88:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
“I am reckoned with them that go down into the pit; I am as a man that hath no help, ”
“I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,”
“They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man,”
“I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant:”
“I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:”
“I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
The understanding of Ethan the Ezrahite.
I will sing the mercies of the Lord in eternity. I will announce your truth with my mouth, from generation to generation.
For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. Your truth will be prepared there.
I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant:
I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity. And I will build up your throne, from generation to generation.
The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, and also your truth, in the Church of the saints.
For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? Who among the sons of God is like God?
