Psalms 16:8

16:8 I constantly trust in the Lord; ¹ 

because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.

Daniel 7:14

7:14 To him was given ruling authority, honor, and sovereignty.

All peoples, nations, and language groups were serving ²  him.

His authority is eternal and will not pass away. ³ 

His kingdom will not be destroyed. ⁴ 

[16:8]  ¹ tn Heb “I set the Lord before me continually.” This may mean that the psalmist is aware of the Lord’s presence and sensitive to his moral guidance (see v. 7), or that he trusts in the Lord’s protection (see the following line).

[7:14]  ² tn Some take “serving” here in the sense of “worshiping.”

[7:14]  ³ tn Aram “is an eternal authority which will not pass away.”

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Aram “is one which will not be destroyed.”
