Verse 7 is found in chapter 61 of Psalms. Psalm 61 is a prayer from someone far from his usual context who seeks divine protection. The rock too high to reach by himself represents a security that only God can provide. The psalmist asks to remain in God’s presence and remembers the inheritance of those who fear the Lord. The request concerning the king introduces a dimension of political and communal continuity within the personal prayer.

Du wollest dem König langes Leben geben, daß seine Jahre währen immer für und für,
Estará para siempre delante de Dios: Misericordia y verdad prepara que lo conserven.
Que permanezca entronizado para siempre delante de Dios; dispón que el amor leal y la verdad lo protejan.
Qu'il reste sur le trône éternellement devant Dieu! Fais que ta bonté et ta fidélité veillent sur lui!
Dimori in perpetuo nel cospetto di Dio; Ordina benignità e verità che lo guardino.
Ele permanecerá diante de Deus para sempre; prepara-lhe misericórdia e verdade que o preservem.
願他在上帝面前永遠坐在王位上, 求你預備慈愛和信實保佑他!
