5 “David, my servant, whom I chose
“To guard my flock, to crush my foes,
“And rais’d him to the Jewish throne,
“Was but a shadow of my Son.”

6 Now let the church rejoice and sing
Jesus her Saviour and her King: 
Angels his heavenly wonders show,
And saints declare his works below.

Psalm 89:2.  First Part.  C. M.
The faithfulness of God.

1 My never-ceasing songs shall show
The mercies of the Lord,
And make succeeding ages know
How faithful is his word.

2 The sacred truths his lips pronounce
Shall firm as heaven endure;
And if he speak a promise once,
Th’ eternal grace is sure.

3 How long the race of David held
The promis’d Jewish throne! 
But there’s a nobler covenant seal’d
To David’s greater Son.

4 His seed for ever shall possess
A throne above the skies;
The meanest subject of his grace
Shall to that glory rise.

5 Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways
Are sung by saints above;
And saints on earth their honours raise
To thine unchanging love.

Psalm 89:3. 7 &c.  Second Part. 
The power and majesty of God;
or, Reverential worship.

1 With reverence let the saints appear
And bow before the Lord,
His high commands with reverence hear,
And tremble at his word.

2 How terrible thy glories be!  How bright thine armies shine!  Where is the power that vies with thee?  Or truth compar’d to thine?

3 The northern pole and southern rest
On thy supporting hand;
Darkness and day from east to west
Move round at thy command.

4 Thy words the raging wind control, And rule the boisterous deep; Thou mak’st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep.

5 Heaven, earth, and air, and sea are thine,
And the dark world of hell: 
How did thine arm in vengeance shine
When Egypt durst rebel!

6 Justice and judgment are thy throne,
Yet wondrous is thy grace;
While truth and mercy join’d in one
Invite us near thy face.

Psalm 89:4. 15 &c.  Third Part. 
A blessed gospel.

1 Blest are the souls that hear and know
The gospel’s joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.

2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Thro’ their Redeemer’s Name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives;
Israel, thy king for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

Psalm 89:5. 19 &c.  Fourth Part. 
Christ’s mediatorial kingdom; or,
His divine and human nature.

1 Hear what the Lord in vision said,
And made his mercy known: 
“Sinners, behold your help is laid
“On my almighty Son.

2 “Behold the man my wisdom chose
“Among your mortal race;
“His head my holy oil o’erflows,
“The Spirit of my grace.
