I thought about the days of old, about ancient times.

I learned long ago that you ordained your rules to last.

You squeeze me in from behind and in front; you place your hand on me.

But God has been my king from ancient times, performing acts of deliverance on the earth.

I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.

to the one who rides through the sky from ancient times! Look! He thunders loudly.

Remember your people whom you acquired in ancient times, whom you rescued so they could be your very own nation, as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!

I will remember the works of the Lord. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!

I recall the old days; I meditate on all you have done; I reflect on your accomplishments.

For the music director; by the Korahites, a well-written song. O God, we have clearly heard; our ancestors have told us what you did in their days, in ancient times.

God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago, will hear and humiliate them. (Selah) They refuse to change, and do not fear God.
