Psalm 89

My song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the Lord  *

with my mouth will I ever be shewing thy truth from one generation to another.

For I have said, Mercy shall be set up for ever *

thy truth shalt thou stablish in the heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen *

I have sworn unto David my servant;

Thy seed will I stablish for ever *

and set up thy throne from one generation to another.

I will set his dominion also in the sea *

and his right hand in the floods.

He shall call me, Thou art my Father *

my God, and my strong salvation.

And I will make him my first-born *

higher than the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore *

and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
