Psalms 89:28-42

²⁸(89-29) For ever will I keep for him My mercy, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.

²⁹(89-30) His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰(89-31) If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;

³¹(89-32) If they profane My statutes, and keep not My commandments;

³²(89-33) Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.

³³(89-34) But My mercy will I not break off from him, nor will I be false to My faithfulness.

³⁴(89-35) My covenant will I not profane, nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.

³⁵(89-36) Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;

³⁶(89-37) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

³⁷(89-38) It shall be established for ever as the moon; and be stedfast as the witness in sky.' Selah

³⁸(89-39) But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.

³⁹(89-40) Thou hast abhorred the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

⁴⁰(89-41) Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴¹(89-42) All that pass by the way spoil him; he is become a taunt to his neighbours.

⁴²(89-43) Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
