24. He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love,and by my name he will win victories.
25. I will place his hand over the sea,his right hand over the rivers.
26. He will call out to me,‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’
27. I will appoint him to be my firstborn son,the most exalted of the earth’s kings.
28. I will always extend my loyal love to him,and my covenant with him is secure.
29. I will give him an eternal dynasty,and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.
30. If his sons reject my lawand disobey my regulations,
31. if they break my rulesand do not keep my commandments,
32. I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club,their sin by inflicting them with bruises.
33. But I will not remove my loyal love from him,nor be unfaithful to my promise.
34. I will not break my covenantor go back on what I promised.
35. Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness,I will never deceive David.
36. His dynasty will last forever.His throne will endure before me, like the sun,
37. it will remain stable, like the moon,his throne will endure like the skies.” (Selah)
38. But you have spurned and rejected him;you are angry with your chosen king.
39. You have repudiated your covenant with your servant;you have thrown his crown to the ground.
40. You have broken down all his walls;you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins.
41. All who pass by have robbed him;he has become an object of disdain to his neighbors.
