3 I to my chosen servant have My self by my own Covenant tied; Even unto David, and to him By oath I have it ratified.
3 I to my chosen servant have My self by my own Covenant ty'd; Even unto David, and to him By oath I have it ratify'd.
4 That I thy seed establish will, That it for evermore endure; And to all generations Thy throne will build and settle sure.
5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, The heavens shall gloriously express; The Congregations of thy Saints Shall praise thy truth and faithfulness.
5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, The heav'ns shall gloriously express; The Congregations of thy Saints Shall praise thy truth and faithfulness.
6 For in the heavens themselves who may With thee, the only Lord, compare? Who may be likened to the Lord, Of all their sons that mighty are?
