-
All the paths of the Lord are faithfulness and truth To those who comply with His covenant and His testimonies.
-
The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant.
-
All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.
-
“Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
-
But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth?
-
He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
-
Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the places of violence.
-
They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His Law;
-
For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
-
For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant against You:
-
The Lord’s Covenant with David and Israel’s Afflictions.
A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
I will sing of the graciousness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth.
-
“I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David,
-
I will maintain My favor for him forever, And My covenant shall be confirmed to him.
-
I will not violate My covenant, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.
-
You have repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.
-
To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts, so as to do them.
-
He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
-
The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
-
Then He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
-
And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His mercy.
-
He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever.
-
He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name.
-
If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.”
