2 Samuel 7:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)When your days are finished and you [a](B)lie down with your fathers, (C)I will raise up your [b]descendant after you, who will come from [c]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and (E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (F)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (G)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, 15 but My favor shall not depart from him, (H)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (I)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [d]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”

Psalm 89:3-52
New American Standard Bible
3 “I have made a covenant with (A)My chosen;
I have (B)sworn to My servant David,
4 I will establish your [a](C)descendants forever
And build up your (D)throne to all generations.” Selah
5 The (E)heavens will praise Your wonders, Lord;
Your faithfulness also (F)in the assembly of the (G)holy ones.
6 For (H)who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the [b](I)sons of the mighty is like the Lord,
7 A God (J)greatly feared in the council of the (K)holy ones,
And (L)awesome above all those who are around Him?
8 Lord God of armies, (M)who is like You, mighty [c]Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
9 You rule the surging of the sea;
When its waves rise, You (N)calm them.
10 You Yourself crushed [d](O)Rahab like one who is slain;
You (P)scattered Your enemies with [e]Your mighty arm.
11 The (Q)heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The (R)world and [f]all it contains, You have established them.
12 The (S)north and the south, You have created them;
(T)Tabor and (U)Hermon (V)shout for joy at Your name.
13 You have [g]a strong arm;
Your hand is mighty, Your (W)right hand is exalted.
14 (X)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
(Y)Mercy and [h]truth go before You.
15 Blessed are the people who know the [i](Z)joyful sound!
Lord, they walk in the (AA)light of Your face.
16 In (AB)Your name they rejoice all the day,
And by Your righteousness they are exalted.
17 For You are the glory of (AC)their strength,
And by Your favor [j]our (AD)horn is exalted.
18 For our (AE)shield belongs to the Lord,
[k]And our king to the (AF)Holy One of Israel.
19 [l]Once You spoke in vision to Your godly [m]ones,
And said, “I have [n]given help to one who is (AG)mighty;
I have exalted one (AH)chosen from the people.
20 I have (AI)found My servant David;
With My holy (AJ)oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom (AK)My hand will be established;
My arm also will (AL)strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not [o]deceive him,
Nor will the [p](AM)son of wickedness afflict him.
23 But I will (AN)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
24 My (AO)faithfulness and My favor will be with him,
And in My name his (AP)horn will be exalted.
25 I will also place his hand (AQ)on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are (AR)my Father,
My God, and the (AS)rock of my salvation.’
27 I will also make him My (AT)firstborn,
The (AU)highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will maintain My (AV)favor for him forever,
And My (AW)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
29 So I will establish his [q](AX)descendants forever,
And his (AY)throne (AZ)as the days of heaven.
30 “If his sons (BA)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [r]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the (BB)rod,
And their guilt with [s]afflictions.
33 But I will not [t]withhold (BC)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 I will not [u]violate My (BD)covenant,
Nor will I (BE)alter [v]the utterance of My lips.
35 [w]Once I have (BF)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His [x](BG)descendants shall endure forever,
And his (BH)throne (BI)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (BJ)like the moon,
And a (BK)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
38 But You have (BL)rejected and (BM)refused,
You have been full of wrath [y]against Your (BN)anointed.
39 You have [z](BO)repudiated the covenant of Your servant;
You have (BP)profaned (BQ)his crown [aa]in the dust.
40 You have (BR)broken down all his walls;
You have (BS)brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 (BT)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (BU)disgrace to his neighbors.
42 You have (BV)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (BW)made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword,
And have (BX)not made him stand in battle.
44 You have put an end to his [ab](BY)splendor
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (BZ)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (CA)covered him with shame. Selah
46 (CB)How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (CC)wrath burn like fire?
47 (CD)Remember [ac]what my lifespan is;
For what (CE)futility [ad]You have created all the sons of mankind!
48 What man can live and not (CF)see death?
Can he (CG)save his soul from the [ae]power of [af]Sheol? Selah
49 Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,
Which You (CH)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, the (CI)taunt against Your servants;
[ag]How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
51 With which (CJ)Your enemies have taunted, Lord,
With which they have taunted the footsteps of (CK)Your anointed.
52 (CL)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.

New International Version
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant,
4 ‘I will establish your line forever
and make your throne firm through all generations.’”[a](A)
5 The heavens(B) praise your wonders, Lord,
your faithfulness too, in the assembly(C) of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?(D)
7 In the council(E) of the holy ones(F) God is greatly feared;
he is more awesome than all who surround him.(G)
8 Who is like you,(H) Lord God Almighty?(I)
You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.
9 You rule over the surging sea;
when its waves mount up, you still them.(J)
10 You crushed Rahab(K) like one of the slain;
with your strong arm you scattered(L) your enemies.
11 The heavens are yours,(M) and yours also the earth;(N)
you founded the world and all that is in it.(O)
12 You created the north and the south;
Tabor(P) and Hermon(Q) sing for joy(R) at your name.
13 Your arm is endowed with power;
your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.(S)
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;(T)
love and faithfulness go before you.(U)
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk(V) in the light(W) of your presence, Lord.
16 They rejoice in your name(X) all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,(Y)
and by your favor you exalt our horn.[b](Z)
18 Indeed, our shield[c](AA) belongs to the Lord,
our king(AB) to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Once you spoke in a vision,
to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
I have raised up a young man from among the people.
20 I have found David(AC) my servant;(AD)
with my sacred oil(AE) I have anointed(AF) him.
21 My hand will sustain him;
surely my arm will strengthen him.(AG)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(AH)
the wicked will not oppress(AI) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(AJ)
and strike down his adversaries.(AK)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(AL)
and through my name his horn[d] will be exalted.
25 I will set his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers.(AM)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(AN)
my God, the Rock(AO) my Savior.’(AP)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(AQ)
the most exalted(AR) of the kings(AS) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
and my covenant with him will never fail.(AT)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as the heavens endure.(AU)
30 “If his sons forsake my law
and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
their iniquity with flogging;(AV)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(AW)
nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
or alter what my lips have uttered.(AX)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
and his throne endure before me like the sun;(AY)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
the faithful witness in the sky.”(AZ)
38 But you have rejected,(BA) you have spurned,
you have been very angry with your anointed one.
39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant
and have defiled his crown in the dust.(BB)
40 You have broken through all his walls(BC)
and reduced his strongholds(BD) to ruins.
41 All who pass by have plundered(BE) him;
he has become the scorn of his neighbors.(BF)
42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
you have made all his enemies rejoice.(BG)
43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword
and have not supported him in battle.(BH)
44 You have put an end to his splendor
and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have cut short(BI) the days of his youth;
you have covered him with a mantle of shame.(BJ)
46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever?
How long will your wrath burn like fire?(BK)
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.(BL)
For what futility you have created all humanity!
48 Who can live and not see death,
or who can escape the power of the grave?(BM)
49 Lord, where is your former great love,
which in your faithfulness you swore to David?
50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has[e] been mocked,(BN)
how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,
51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked,
with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.(BO)
52 Praise be to the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.(BP)

6 For a (A)Child will be born to us, a (B)Son will be given to us;
And the (C)government will [a]rest (D)on His shoulders;
And His name will be called (E)Wonderful Counselor, (F)Mighty God,
Eternal (G)Father, Prince of (H)Peace.
7 There will be (I)no end to the increase of His government or of peace
On the (J)throne of David and over [b]his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with (K)justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
(L)The zeal of the Lord of armies will accomplish this.
God’s Anger with Israel’s Arrogance
8 The Lord sends a [c]message against Jacob,
And it falls on Israel.
9 And all the people know it,
That is, (M)Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in (N)arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will (O)rebuild with smooth stones;
The sycamores have been cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore the Lord raises superior adversaries against them from (P)Rezin
And provokes their enemies,
12 The Arameans from the east and the (Q)Philistines from the west;
And they (R)devour Israel with [d]gaping jaws.
(S)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.
13 Yet the people (T)do not turn back to Him who struck them,
Nor do they (U)seek the Lord of armies.
14 So the Lord cuts off (V)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush (W)in a single day.
15 The head is (X)the elder and esteemed man,
And the prophet who teaches (Y)falsehood is the tail.
16 (Z)For those who guide this people are leading them astray;
And those who are guided by them are [e]confused.
17 Therefore the Lord does (AA)not rejoice over their young men,
(AB)Nor does He have compassion on their [f]orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is (AC)godless and an (AD)evildoer,
And every (AE)mouth is speaking foolishness.
(AF)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.
18 (AG)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It also sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the (AH)wrath of the Lord of armies the (AI)land is burned,
And the (AJ)people are like fuel for the fire;
No (AK)one spares his brother.
20 [g]They devour what is on the right hand but are still (AL)hungry,
And [h]they eat what is on the left hand, but they are not satisfied;
Each of them eats the (AM)flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,
(AN)And together they are against Judah.
(AO)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message(R) against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(S) and the inhabitants of Samaria(T)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(U) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(V)
the fig(W) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(X)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(Y) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(Z) from the east and Philistines(AA) from the west
have devoured(AB) Israel with open mouth.
13 But the people have not returned(AE) to him who struck(AF) them,
nor have they sought(AG) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed(AH) in a single day;(AI)
15 the elders(AJ) and dignitaries(AK) are the head,
the prophets(AL) who teach lies(AM) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(AN) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(AO)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(AP)
nor will he pity(AQ) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(AR) and wicked,(AS)
every mouth speaks folly.(AT)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(AU)
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(AV)
it consumes briers and thorns,(AW)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(AX)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(AY) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(AZ)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(BA)
they will not spare one another.(BB)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(BC)
on the left they will eat,(BD)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(BE)
together they will turn against Judah.(BF)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(BG)
