Lyrics (Psalm 89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19):

Response: For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, "My kindness is established forever;"
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness. Response

in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted. Response

and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the LORD belongs our shield,
and the Holy One of Israel, our king. Response
