³⁰ If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances;

³¹ If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments;

³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵ Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

³⁶ His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.

³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah

³¹ If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;

³² Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

³³ But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

³³ (89:34) Nevertheless my kindness will I not make utterly void from him, and I will not act falsely against my faithfulness.

³⁴ (89:35) I will not profane my covenant, and what is gone out of my lips will I not alter.

³⁸ But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.

³⁹ You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.

⁴⁰ You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

⁴¹ All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

⁴³ Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.

⁴⁴ You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁵ You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶ How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

³⁰ If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

³¹ if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;

³² then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ I will not break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.

³⁵ Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

³⁶ His offspring will endure forever, his throne like the sun before me.

³⁷ It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.

³⁷ It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

³⁸ But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thy anointed.

³⁹ Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

⁴⁰ Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

⁴¹ All that pass by the way plunder him: he is a reproach to his neighbors.

⁴² Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³ Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

⁴⁴ Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

⁴⁵ The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴⁴ Thou destroyedest him from cleansing; and thou hast hurled down his seat in the earth.

⁴⁵ Thou hast made less the days of his time; thou hast beshed him with shame.

⁴⁶ Lord, how long turnest thou away, into the end; shall thine ire burn out as fire?

³⁰ Forsooth if his sons forsake my law; and go not in my dooms. (But if his sons abandon my Law; and do not go in my judgements.)

³¹ If they make unholy my rightfulnesses; and keep not my commandments. (If they break my statutes; and do not obey my commandments.)

³² I shall visit in a rod the wickednesses of them; and in beatings the sins of them. (Then I shall punish their wickednesses with a rod; and their sins with beatings.)

³³ But I shall not scatter my mercy from him; and in my truth I shall not harm him. (But I shall not take away my love from him; and I shall be faithful to him.)

³⁴ Neither I shall make unholy my testament; and I shall not make void those things that come forth of my lips. (Nor shall I break my covenant; and I shall not make void those things which come forth from my lips, that is, I shall not break my promises.)

³⁵ Once I swore in mine holiness, I shall not lie to David; (Once I swore by my holiness, that I would never lie to David;)

³⁶ his seed shall dwell into without end. And his throne as the sun in my sight, (his children, that is, his descendants, shall live forever. And his throne shall be before me like the sun,)

³⁷ and as a perfect moon without end; and a faithful witness in heaven. (and like the moon, which shall endure forever; yea, like a faithful witness in the heavens.)

³⁸ But thou hast put away, and despised; and hast delayed thy christ. (But thou hast rejected, and despised, and hast raged against thy anointed king.)

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

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

⁴⁴ Thou destroyedest him from cleansing; and thou hast hurled down his seat in earth. (Thou hast destroyed his purity; and thou hast thrown down his throne to the ground.)

⁴⁵ Thou hast made less the days of his time; thou hast beshed him with shame. (Thou hast lessened the days of his time; thou hast covered him with shame.)

⁴⁶ Lord, how long turnest thou away, into the end; shall thine ire burn out as fire? (Lord, how long turnest thou away, forever? shall thy anger always burn like fire?)

³⁰ If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

³¹ If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

³² I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

³³ And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

³⁴ I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

³⁵ Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

³⁶ His seed is to the age, And his throne is as the sun before Me,

³⁷ As the moon it is established — to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.

³⁸ And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,

³⁹ Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,

⁴⁰ Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.

⁴¹ Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,

⁴² Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.

⁴³ Also — Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,

⁴⁴ Hast caused him to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.

⁴⁵ Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over with shame. Selah.

⁴⁶ Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?
