May he reign before God forever; send your love and fidelity to preserve him—
For the leader. A psalm of David. A song.
Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
That I may praise you with the lyre for your faithfulness, my God, And sing to you with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
Praise the Lord, my soul; I will praise the Lord all my life, sing praise to my God while I live.
You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
You came only yesterday, and today shall I have you wander off with us wherever I have to go? Return and take your brothers with you, and may the Lord show you kindness and fidelity.”
Lord, may you not withhold your compassion from me; May your mercy and your faithfulness continually protect me.
I will make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages.” Selah
