“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;^(A)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions^(B)
    by anointing you with the oil^(C) of joy.”^[a](D)

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.^(E)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.^(F)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,^(G)
    and your years will never end.”^[b](H)

⁶ Your throne, O God,^[a] will last for ever and ever;^(A)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
⁷ You love righteousness^(B) and hate wickedness;^(C)
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
    by anointing^(D) you with the oil of joy.^(E)

²⁴ So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
    your years go on^(A) through all generations.
²⁵ In the beginning^(B) you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens^(C) are the work of your hands.^(D)
26 They will perish,^(E) but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
²⁷ But you remain the same,^(F)
    and your years will never end.^(G)
28 The children of your servants^(H) will live in your presence;
    their descendants^(I) will be established before you.”

“Sit at my right hand^(B)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.”^(C)
