2 I will sing of your mercy forever, Lord(A)
proclaim your faithfulness through all ages.

my faithfulness will stand as long as the heavens.
4 I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have sworn to David my servant:
5 I will make your dynasty stand forever
and establish your throne through all ages.”(B)
Selah
