89:3 The Lord said,
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;
I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

89:1 I will sing continually about the Lord’s faithful deeds;
to future generations I will proclaim your faithfulness.
Psalms 11:1
Psalm 11
For the music director; by David.
11:1 In the Lord I have taken shelter.
How can you say to me,
“Flee to a mountain like a bird!
Philippians 2:6-11
2:6 who though he existed in the form of God
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,
2:7 but emptied himself
by taking on the form of a slave,
by looking like other men,
and by sharing in human nature.
2:8 He humbled himself,
by becoming obedient to the point of death
– even death on a cross!
2:9 As a result God exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
2:10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow
– in heaven and on earth and under the earth –
2:11 and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord
to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 2:9-17
2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made
lower than the angels for a little while,
now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death,
so that by God’s grace he would experience
death on behalf of everyone.
2:10 For it was fitting for him, for whom and through whom all things exist,
in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer
of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
2:11 For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin,
and so
he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,
2:12 saying, “
I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.”
2:13 Again he says,
“I will be confident in him,” and again, “
Here I am, with the children God has given me.”
2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in
their humanity,
so that through death he could destroy
the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),
2:15 and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death.
2:16 For surely his concern is not for angels, but he is concerned for Abraham’s descendants.
2:17 Therefore he had
to be made like his brothers and sisters
in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement
for the sins of the people.
