Psalm 89:20-37
New American Standard Bible
20 I have (A)found My servant David;
With My holy (B)oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom (C)My hand will be established;
My arm also will (D)strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not [a]deceive him,
Nor will the [b](E)son of wickedness afflict him.
23 But I will (F)crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.
24 My (G)faithfulness and My favor will be with him,
And in My name his (H)horn will be exalted.
25 I will also place his hand (I)on the sea,
And his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are (J)my Father,
My God, and the (K)rock of my salvation.’
27 I will also make him My (L)firstborn,
The (M)highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will maintain My (N)favor for him forever,
And My (O)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
29 So I will establish his [c](P)descendants forever,
And his (Q)throne (R)as the days of heaven.
30 “If his sons (S)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [d]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the (T)rod,
And their guilt with [e]afflictions.
33 But I will not [f]withhold (U)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 I will not [g]violate My (V)covenant,
Nor will I (W)alter [h]the utterance of My lips.
35 [i]Once I have (X)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His [j](Y)descendants shall endure forever,
And his (Z)throne (AA)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (AB)like the moon,
And a (AC)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah

New American Standard Bible
11 The Lord has (A)sworn to David
A truth from which He will not turn back:
“I will set upon your throne one (B)from the fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also will (C)sit upon your throne forever.”

God’s Covenant with David
8 Now then, this is what you shall say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “(A)I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, (B)to be leader over My people Israel. 9 And (C)I have been with you wherever you have gone, and (D)have eliminated all your enemies from you; I will also make a great name for you, like the names of the great men who [a]are on the earth. 10 And I will establish a place for My people Israel, and (E)will plant them, so that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, (F)nor will [b]malicious people oppress them anymore as previously, 11 even (G)from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and (H)I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that (I)the Lord will make a house for you. 12 (J)When your days are finished and you [c](K)lie down with your fathers, (L)I will raise up your [d]descendant after you, who will come from [e]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (M)He shall build a house for My name, and (N)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (O)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (P)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, (Q)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (R)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [f]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”
