⁴⁰ For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, “As I live forever,

²⁷ The eternal God is your ^(A)refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
^(B)He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’

^2 (A)Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You ^[a]had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

^2 (A)Your throne is established from of old;
You are from everlasting.

²⁸ Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
^(A)His understanding is unsearchable.

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God;
He is ^(A)the living God and the ^(B)everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

¹² Are You not ^(A)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, ^(B)You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for ^(C)correction.
