New Living Translation

1I will sing about the LORD's faithful love forever; I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth.

1I will sing of the LORD’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.

2For I will declare, "Faithful love is built up forever; you establish your faithfulness in the heavens."

2Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

3The LORD said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn an oath to David my servant:

3The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him:

4'I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.'" Selah

4‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” Interlude

5LORD, the heavens praise your wonders--your faithfulness also--in the assembly of the holy ones.

5All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.

6For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

6For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD?

7God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, more awe-inspiring than all who surround him.

7The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.

14Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; faithful love and truth go before you.

22The enemy will not oppress him; the wicked will not afflict him.

22His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.

23I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him.

23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.

24My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him, and by my authority he will grow in power.

25I will extend his power to the sea and his right hand to the rivers.

26He will call to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.'

36His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me,

36His dynasty will go on forever; his kingdom will endure as the sun.

37like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky." Selah

47Remember how short my life is, how empty and futile this human existence!

48What courageous person can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the power of Sheol? Selah

49Lord, where are the former acts of your faithful love that you swore to David in your faithfulness?

49Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.

50Remember, Lord, the ridicule against your servants--in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples--

50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

51how your enemies have ridiculed, LORD, how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed.

51Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

52Blessed be the LORD forever. Amen and amen.

52Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
