He takes his battle position and shakes the earth; with a mere look he frightens the nations. The ancient mountains disintegrate; the primeval hills are flattened. He travels on the ancient roads.

These curses will be a perpetual sign and wonder with reference to you and your descendants.

O Lord, truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”

Remember continually his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations –

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good and his loyal love endures.

O Lord, I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”

Will you keep to the old path that evil men have walked –

Will it make a pact with you, so you could take it as your slave for life?

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

The Lord rules forever! The nations are driven out of his land.

Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord, for you have always acted in this 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.

I will be a permanent guest in your home; I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. (Selah)

Take a good look! This is what the wicked are like, those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.

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

As for me, I will continually tell what you have done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob!
