14 (A)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (B)when he commits iniquity, I will reprove him with the rod of men and the strikes from the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not be removed from him, (C)as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 (D)And your house and your kingdom shall [a]endure before [b]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”

  1. 1 Chronicles 28:9 Or the same

30 “If his sons (A)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they profane My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the (B)rod
And their iniquity with striking.
33 But I will not break off (C)My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 My (D)covenant I will not profane,
Nor will I (E)alter what comes forth from My lips.
35 [a]Once I have (F)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His (G)seed shall endure forever
And his (H)throne (I)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (J)like the moon,
And the (K)witness in the sky is faithful.” [b]Selah.

38 But You have (L)cast off and (M)rejected,
You have been full of wrath [c]against Your (N)anointed.
39 You have (O)spurned the covenant of Your [d]slave;
You have (P)profaned (Q)his crown to the ground.
40 You have (R)broken down all his walls;
You have (S)beset his strongholds with ruin.
41 (T)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (U)reproach to his neighbors.
42 You have (V)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (W)made all his enemies be glad.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have (X)not made him arise in battle.
44 You have made his [e](Y)splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (Z)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (AA)wrapped him up with shame. Selah.

46 (AB)How long, O Yahweh?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (AC)wrath burn like fire?
47 (AD)Remember [f]what my span of life is;
For what (AE)vanity [g]You have created all the sons of men!
48 What man can live and not (AF)see death?
Can he (AG)provide his soul escape from the [h]power of Sheol? Selah.

49 Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You (AH)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, O Lord, the (AI)reproach of Your [i]slaves;
[j]How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
51 With which (AJ)Your enemies have reproached, O Yahweh,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of (AK)Your anointed.

52 (AL)Blessed be Yahweh forever!
Amen and Amen.
