28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.
29 I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne like the days of heaven.
30 If his descendants abandon my law and do not live by my rules,
31 if they violate my statutes and do not obey my commandments,
32 then with a rod I will punish their transgression and their crimes with beatings.
33 But I will not take my loving kindness away from him or allow my truth to become perverted.
34 I will not dishonor my promise or alter my own agreement.
35 On my holiness I have taken an oath: I will not lie to David.
36 His descendants will last forever. His throne will be in my presence like the sun.
37 It shall be established forever like the moon. It will be like a faithful witness in heaven.
38 But you have despised, rejected, and become angry with your anointed one.
39 You have refused to recognize the covenant to your servant and have thrown his crown into the dirt.
40 You have broken through all his walls and have laid his fortified cities in ruins.
