Psalm 89
Lord, I will sing for ever of your loving-kindnesses
: my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness
throughout all generations.
I have said of your loving-kindness that it is built for ever
: you have established your faithfulness in the heavens.
The Lord said ‘I have made a covenant with my chosen
: I have sworn an oath to my servant David.
‘I will establish your line for ever
: and build up your throne for all generations.’
Happy the people who know the triumphal shout
: who walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance.
They rejoice all the day long because of your name
: because of your righteousness they are exalted.
For you are their glory and their strength
: and our heads are uplifted by your favour.
Our king belongs to the Lord
: he that rules over us to the Holy One of Israel.
