I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, ‘I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.
Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.
12 You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
12 You created the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
Hebrew title, 'by Ethan the Ezrahite'. The psalmist sings the story of GOd's faithful love to Israel: his covenant and promise to David of an everlasting dynasty of kings. He rejoices in the power and justice of the Creator-God.
Why?
The foundation of the Lord is
righteousness and justice, so we should live out righteousness and justice. And love and faithfulness before the Lord.
For I belong to the Lord!

讚美耶和華的詩篇，稱讚神的公義、慈愛!
前後詩篇沒有相關，但是如此安排卻有神的美意。前面在苦難中呼求神，這裏卻是感恩讚美神的信實！
1-4：神是守約施慈愛的神，神和大衛立約，我們看的是如此展身手，但是神卻要建造我們，重新塑造我們成為新造的人，仁義聖潔
5-8：神的超越性：天使、天軍也要稱頌耶和華，神在本質上與其他天使不同，神掌握一切！
9-12: 海的狂傲、拉哈伯、黑暗的勢力的作惡程度也在神的範圍中，如海浪有限制。
13-14:神擁有一切權柄！這些能力向人來施行公義和恩慈！
15-18:人對這樣的神該如何回應呢? 當歡呼、喜樂尊榮神。神的大能是要使我們被高舉，得榮耀！

How?
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, Lord!
