⁴⁹ Lord, where is your steadfast love of old,
    which by your faithfulness you swore to David?^(A)

“The Lord has sworn
    and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest forever’ ”^[a](A)

¹⁰ But they rebelled
    and grieved his holy spirit;
therefore he became their enemy;
    he himself fought against them.^(C)
11 Then they^[a] remembered the days of old,
    of Moses his servant.^[b]
Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea
    with the shepherds of his flock?
Where is the one who put within them
    his holy spirit,^(D)
12 who caused his glorious arm
    to march at the right hand of Moses,
who divided the waters before them
    to make for himself an everlasting name,^(E)
13     who led them through the depths?
Like a horse in the desert,
    they did not stumble.^(F)
14 Like cattle that go down into the valley,
    the spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
Thus you led your people,
    to make for yourself a glorious name.^(G)

¹¹ The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    from which he will not turn back:
“One of the sons of your body
    I will set on your throne.^(A)
12 If your sons keep my covenant
    and my decrees that I shall teach them,
their sons also, forevermore,
    shall sit on your throne.”^(B)

³ You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
    I have sworn to my servant David:^(A)
4 ‘I will establish your descendants forever
    and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah^(B)
