30 (A)If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my rules,[a]
31 if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
32 then I will punish their transgression with (B)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 (C)covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
35 Once for all I have sworn (D)by my holiness;
    I will not (E)lie to David.
36 His (F)offspring shall endure forever,
    (G)his (H)throne as long as (I)the sun before me.
37 Like (J)the moon it shall be established forever,
    (K)a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

  1. Psalm 89:30 Or my just decrees

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;(A)
33 but I will not take my love from him,(B)
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.(C)
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;(D)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”(E)
