32. Then I will punish their transgression with the rod And their iniquity with stripes.
33. "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34. "My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.
35. "Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.
36. "His descendants shall endure forever And his throne as the sun before Me.
37. "It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah.
38. But You have cast off and rejected, You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.
39. You have spurned the covenant of Your servant; You have profaned his crown in the dust.
40. You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41. All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a reproach to his neighbors.
42. You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.
43. You also turn back the edge of his sword And have not made him stand in battle.
44. You have made his splendor to cease And cast his throne to the ground.
