3  You have said, ^e“I have made a covenant with my chosen one;

I have ^fsworn to David my servant:

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

and my ^acovenant will stand firm¹ for him.

34  I will not violate my covenant

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

39  You have renounced the covenant with your servant;

you have defiled his crown in the dust.

12  If your sons keep my covenant

and my testimonies that I shall teach them,

their sons also forever

shall sit on your throne.”
