May he be enthroned before God forever. Appoint mercy and truth to protect him.
Your arrival was only yesterday—should I make you wander around with us today, to go wherever I may go? Go back and take your kinsmen back with you. Kindness and truth be with you!”
I will praise Adonai all my life. I will praise my God yet again.
You turned my mourning into dancing. You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
Adonai, do not withhold Your compassions from me. Let Your mercy and Your truth always protect me.
For the music director, a psalm, a song of David.
So I will praise You with the harp for your truth, O my God. I will sing praises to You with the lyre O Holy One of Israel.
So we, Your people, the flock of Your pasture, will praise You forever. From generation to generation we will recount Your praise.
‘Forever I will establish your seed, and will build your throne from generation to generation.’” Selah
