Psalm 89:1-8 Good News Translation (GNT)

A Hymn in Time of National Trouble^[a]

89 O Lord, I will always sing of your constant love;
I will proclaim your faithfulness forever.
² I know that your love will last for all time,
that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.
³ You said, “I have made a covenant with the man I chose;
I have promised my servant David,
⁴ ‘A descendant of yours will always be king;
I will preserve your dynasty forever.’”

⁵ The heavens sing of the wonderful things you do;
the holy ones sing of your faithfulness, Lord.
⁶ No one in heaven is like you, Lord;
none of the heavenly beings is your equal.
⁷ You are feared in the council of the holy ones;
they all stand in awe of you.

⁸ Lord God Almighty, none is as mighty as you;
in all things you are faithful, O Lord.

2 Timothy 2:8-13 (GNT)

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from death, who was a descendant of David, as is taught in the Good News I preach. ⁹ Because I preach the Good News, I suffer and I am even chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not in chains, ¹⁰ and so I endure everything for the sake of God’s chosen people, in order that they too may obtain the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus and brings eternal glory. ¹¹ This is a true saying:

“If we have died with him,
    we shall also live with him.
¹² If we continue to endure,
    we shall also rule with him.
If we deny him,
    he also will deny us.
¹³ If we are not faithful,
    he remains faithful,
    because he cannot be false to himself.”
