to the one who led his people through the wilderness, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who struck down great kings, for his loyal love endures,

and killed powerful kings, for his loyal love endures,

Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his loyal love endures,

Og, king of Bashan, for his loyal love endures,

and gave their land as an inheritance, for his loyal love endures,

as an inheritance to Israel his servant, for his loyal love endures,

to the one who remembered us when we were down, for his loyal love endures,

and snatched us away from our enemies, for his loyal love endures,

Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his loyal love endures!

But the Lord rules forever; he reigns in a just manner.

The Lord sits enthroned over the engulfing waters, the Lord sits enthroned as the eternal king.

In my self-confidence I said, “I will never be upended.”

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

The Lord watches over the innocent day by day and they possess a permanent inheritance.

As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity; you allow me permanent access to your presence.

My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.

He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.

(May those who hate the Lord cower in fear before him! May they be permanently humiliated!)

O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually!
