28  ^zMy steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

and my ^acovenant will stand firm¹ for him.

29  I will establish his offspring forever

and his throne as the days of the heavens.

30  ^bIf his children forsake my law

and do not walk according to my rules,²

31  if they violate my statutes

and do not keep my commandments,

32  then I will punish their transgression with the rod

and their iniquity with stripes,

33  but ^cI will not remove from him my steadfast love

or be false to my faithfulness.

34  I will not violate my covenant

or ^dalter the word that went forth from my lips.

35  Once for all I have sworn ^eby my holiness;

I will not ^flie to David.

36  His offspring shall endure forever,

his throne ^gas long as the sun before me.

37  Like the moon it shall be established forever,

a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

11  The Lord ^eswore to David a sure oath

from which he will not turn back:

“One of the sons of your body¹

I will set on your ^fthrone.

12  If your sons keep my covenant

and my testimonies that I shall teach them,

their sons also forever

shall sit on your throne.”

17  There ^lI will make a horn to sprout for David;

I have prepared a ^mlamp for my anointed.

18  His enemies I will ⁿclothe with shame,

but on him his crown will shine.”
