29
“So I will establish his (a)(A)descendants forever
And his (B)throne (C)as the days of heaven.
30
“If his sons (D)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31
If they (b)violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32
Then I will punish their transgression with the (E)rod
And their iniquity with stripes.
33
“But I will not break off (F)My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34
“My (G)covenant I will not (c)violate,
Nor will I (H)alter (d)the utterance of My lips.
35
(e)Once I have (I)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36
“His (f)(J)descendants shall endure forever
And his (K)throne (L)as the sun before Me.
37
“It shall be established forever (M)like the moon,
And the (N)witness in the sky is faithful.” (g)Selah.
