Psalms 89:28-43

²⁸Without end I shall keep my mercy to him; and my testament faithful to him.

²⁹And I shall set his seed into the world of world; and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰Forsooth if his sons forsake my law; and go not in my dooms.

³¹If they make unholy my rightful-nesses; and keep not my command-ments.

³²I shall visit in a rod the wicked-nesses of them; and in beatings the sins of them.

³³But I shall not scatter my mercy from him; and in my truth I shall not annoy him.

³⁴Neither I shall make unholy my testament; and I shall not make void those things that come forth of my lips.

³⁵Once I swore in mine holiness, I shall not lie to David;

³⁶his seed shall dwell without end. And his throne as the sun in my sight,

³⁷and as a perfect moon without end; and a faithful witness in heaven.

³⁸But thou hast put away, and despised; and hast delayed thy christ.

³⁹Thou hast turned away the testa-ment of thy servant; thou madest unholy his saintuary in earth.

⁴⁰Thou destroyedest all the hedges thereof; thou hast set the steadfastness thereof into dread.

⁴¹All men passing by the way ravished him; he is made a shame to his neighbours.

⁴²Thou hast enhanced the right hand of men oppressing him; thou hast gladdened all his enemies.

⁴³Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and thou helpedest not him in battle.
