1Yahweh, I will sing forever about the ways you faithfully love me;
2I will tell people that you will faithfully love us forever,
3Yahweh said, “I have made an agreement with David, whom I chose to serve me.
4‘I will enable various ones of your descendants to always be kings;
5Yahweh, I desire that all those beings who are in [MTY] heaven will praise you for the wonderful things that you do,
6There is no one [RHQ] in heaven who can be compared with you, Yahweh.
7When your holy angels gather together,
8O Yahweh, God Almighty, there is no one [RHQ] who is powerful like you are;
9You rule over the powerful seas;
10You are the one who crushed and killed the great sea monster named Rahab.
11The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours;
12You created everything from the north to the south.
13◄You/Your arms► are very powerful;
14◄Your rule [MTY] over us is based on/As you rule over us, you are always► treating people fairly and justly,
15Yahweh, happy are the people who worship you with joyful shouts,
16Every day, throughout the day, they rejoice in what you [MTY] have done,
17You give us your glorious strength;
18Yahweh, you gave us the one who protects us [MET];
19Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying,
20That man is David, the one who will serve me faithfully,
21I [MTY] will always strengthen him;
22His enemies will never find ways to defeat him,
23I will crush his enemies in front of him
24I will always be loyal to him and faithfully love him
25I will cause ◄his kingdom/the area that he rules► to include all the land from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
26He will say to me, ‘You are my Father,
27I will give him the rights/privileges that a man’s firstborn son has [MET];
28I will always be loyal to him,
29I will establish a line of his descendants that will never end,
30But, if some of his descendants disobey my laws,
31if they disregard my requirements
32I will punish them severely [MTY]
33But I will not stop faithfully loving David,
34I will not break the agreement that I made with him;
35Once I made a solemn promise to David, and that will never change,
36I promised that the line of kings descended from him will go on forever;
37That line will ◄be as permanent/last as long► as the moon
38But Yahweh, now you have rejected [DOU] David!
39It seems that you have broken the agreement that you made with your servant, David;
40You have torn down the walls that protect his city,
41All those who pass by plunder/steal his possessions;
42You have enabled his enemies to defeat him;
43You have caused his sword to become useless,
44You have caused his splendor to end (OR, You have taken away his power
45You have caused him to look old when he is still young
46O Yahweh, how long will this continue?
47Do not forget that life is very short;
48No one can [RHQ] keep on living and never die;
49Yahweh, you promised long ago
50Yahweh, do not forget that people insult me!
51Yahweh, your enemies insult your chosen king!
52I hope/desire that Yahweh will be praised forever!
