Psalms 89:14-37

Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair. Love and truth are in all you do. Happy are the people who know how to praise you. LORD, let them live in the light of your presence. In your name they rejoice and continually praise your goodness. You are their glorious strength, and in your kindness you honor our king. Our king, our shield, belongs to the LORD, to the Holy One of Israel. Once, in a vision, you spoke to those who worship you. You said, “I have given strength to a warrior; I have raised up a young man from my people. I have found my servant David; I appointed him by pouring holy oil on him. I will steady him with my hand and strengthen him with my arm. No enemy will make him give forced payments, and wicked people will not defeat him. I will crush his enemies in front of him; I will defeat those who hate him. My loyalty and love will be with him. Through me he will be strong. I will give him power over the sea and control over the rivers. He will say to me, ‘You are my father, my God, the Rock, my Savior.’ I will make him my firstborn son, the greatest king on earth. My love will watch over him forever, and my agreement with him will never end. I will make his family continue, and his kingdom will last as long as the skies. “If his descendants reject my teachings and do not follow my laws, if they ignore my demands and disobey my commands, then I will punish their sins with a rod and their wrongs with a whip. But I will not hold back my love from David, nor will I stop being loyal. I will not break my agreement nor change what I have said. I have promised by my holiness, I will not lie to David. His family will go on forever. His kingdom will last before me like the sun. It will continue forever, like the moon, like a dependable witness in the sky.”Selah
