28 I will maintain My (A)favor for him forever,
And My (B)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
29 So I will establish his [a](C)descendants forever,
And his (D)throne (E)as the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons (F)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [b]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the (G)rod,
And their guilt with [c]afflictions.
33 But I will not [d]withhold (H)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 I will not [e]violate My (I)covenant,
Nor will I (J)alter [f]the utterance of My lips.
35 [g]Once I have (K)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His [h](L)descendants shall endure forever,
And his (M)throne (N)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (O)like the moon,
And a (P)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
