Psalm 89:23-35

English Standard Version

²³ I will ^(A)crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.
²⁴ My ^(B)faithfulness and my ^(C)steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name shall his ^(D)horn be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand on ^(E)the sea
    and his right hand on ^(F)the rivers.
²⁶ He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^(G)Father,
    my God, and ^(H)the Rock of my salvation.’
²⁷ And I will make him the ^(I)firstborn,
    ^(J)the highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸ My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,
    and my ^(K)covenant will stand firm^[a] for him.
²⁹ I will establish his ^(L)offspring forever
    and his ^(M)throne as ^(N)the days of the heavens.
^30 (O)If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my rules,^[b]
31 if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³² then I will punish their transgression with ^(P)the rod
    and their iniquity with stripes,
³³ but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
    or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁴ I will not violate my ^(Q)covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
³⁵ Once for all I have sworn ^(R)by my holiness;
    I will not ^(S)lie to David.
