I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’

He built altars in the Lord’s temple, about which the Lord had said, “Jerusalem will be my permanent home.”

You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them.

You, Lord, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,

So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O Lord my God, I will always give thanks to you.

For the music director; a psalm of David. In you, O Lord, I have taken shelter! Never let me be humiliated! Vindicate me by rescuing me!

In God I boast all day long, and we will continually give thanks to your name. (Selah)

You are the most handsome of all men! You speak in an impressive and fitting manner! For this reason God grants you continual blessings.

Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,

I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.

Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended.

May his fame endure! May his dynasty last as long as the sun remains in the sky! May they use his name when they formulate their blessings! May all nations consider him to be favored by God!

His glorious name deserves praise forevermore! May his majestic splendor fill the whole earth! We agree! We agree!

Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.

I will always extend my loyal love to him, and my covenant with him is secure.

For the Lord is good. His loyal love endures, and he is faithful through all generations.

The Lord makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: “You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek.”

He delivered his people; he ordained that his covenant be observed forever. His name is holy and awesome.

For his loyal love towers over us, and the Lord’s faithfulness endures. Praise the Lord!

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion; it cannot be upended and will endure forever.
