² I know that your love will last for all time,
    that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.
³ You said, “I have made a covenant with the man I chose;
    I have promised my servant David,

    I will preserve your dynasty forever.’”

^27 (A)I will make him my first-born son,
    the greatest of all kings.

²⁹ His dynasty will be as permanent as the sky;
    a descendant of his will always be king.
