Verbatim text from Ps 89:20-21,24+26.27-28

For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

I have found my servant David;
with my holy oil I have anointed him;
my hand shall always remain with him;
my arm also shall strengthen him.

My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him;
and in my name his name shall be exalted.
He shall cry to me, “You are my Father,
my God, and the Rock of my salvation!”

I will make him the firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him,
and my covenant with him will stand firm.
