 Truly, the is our ruler; * the Holy One of Israel is our King.

Psalm 89: Part II

You spoke once in a vision and said to your faithful people: * “I have set the crown upon a warrior and have exalted one chosen out of the people.

I have found David my servant; * with my holy oil have I anointed him.

My hand will hold him fast * and my arm will make him strong.

No enemy shall deceive him, * nor any wicked man bring him down.

I will crush his foes before him * and strike down those who hate him.

My faithfulness and love shall be with him, * and he shall be victorious through my Name.

I shall make his dominion extend * from the Great Sea to the River.

He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, * my God, and the rock of my salvation.’

I will make him my firstborn * and higher than the kings of the earth.

I will keep my love for him for ever, * and my covenant will stand firm for him.

I will establish his line for ever * and his throne as the days of heaven.”
