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)
