May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah)

A well-written song by Ethan the Ezrachite. I will sing continually about the Lord’s faithful deeds; to future generations I will proclaim your faithfulness.

For I say, “Loyal love is permanently established; in the skies you set up your faithfulness.”

‘I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah)

Even before the mountains came into existence, or you brought the world into being, you were the eternal God.

But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants,

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forevermore.

Certainly my enemies chase me. They smash me into the ground. They force me to live in dark regions, like those who have been dead for ages.

We heard about God’s mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)
