³ The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant.
    I have sworn this oath to him:

²⁸ I will love him and be kind to him forever;
    my covenant with him will never end.

³⁴ No, I will not break my covenant;
    I will not take back a single word I said.

³⁹ You have renounced your covenant with him;
    you have thrown his crown in the dust.
