The Lord reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness
and judges the peoples with equity.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:7-10

The earth and its inhabitants may come and go but
the Lord reigns forever.

Nations will crumble, and others will rise to take their place but
The Lord reigns forever.

Riches and fame come; riches and fame go but
The Lord reigns forever.

Good looks and glamor are fleeting but
The Lord reigns forever.

Leaders will exalt themselves only to be destroyed by their own egos and corruption but
The Lord reigns forever.

Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
