But of the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, is[a] forever and ever,
    and the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your[b] kingdom.(A)
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;[c]
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”(B)

“In the beginning, Lord, you founded the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands;(C)
11 they will perish, but you remain;

12 like a cloak you will roll them up,
    and like clothing[d] they will be changed.
But you are the same,
    and your years will never end.”
