PSALM 88
Response:
I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
Verse 1:
‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have sworn to David my servant:
I will establish your dynasty for ever
and set up your throne through all ages.’
Verse 2:
Happy the people who acclaim such a king,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
who find their joy every day in your name,
who make your justice the source of their bliss.
Verse 3:
‘He will say to me: “You are my father,
my God, the rock who saves me.”
I will keep my love for him always;
for him my covenant shall endure.’
