"I will sing forever, O YAHWEH, of YOUR love, and proclaim YOUR faithfulness from age to age.
I will declare how steadfast is YOUR love, how firm YOUR faithfulness.
I have found David MY servant, and, with MY holy oil, I have anointed him.
MY hand will be ever with him; and MY arm will sustain him; no enemy shall outwit him, nor the wicked oppress him.
MY faithfulness and love will be with him; and, by MY help, he will be strong.
He will call on ME, 'YOU are my FATHER, my GOD, my Rock, my Savior.'"
- Psalm 89:2-3. 21-22. 25. 27
(Those very powerful words "love" and "faithfulness" occur at least 4 times each in this psalm, and not without a purpose. JESUS has explained to us in no uncertain terms throughout the Gospels the power of these words. If only these could become part of our daily agenda, then we can assure ourselves of happiness here on earth and eternity.
Here is a good psalm to pray in times of national or international conflict. If a human being is injured, GOD is injured. The love of GOD is faithful. Despite everything, the love of GOD cannot turn back.)
