89:28 I will always extend my loyal love to him,
and my covenant with him is secure. 1
89:29 I will give him an eternal dynasty, 2
and make his throne as enduring as the skies above. 3
89:30 If his sons reject my law
and disobey my regulations,
89:31 if they break 4 my rules
and do not keep my commandments,
89:32 I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club, 5
their sin by inflicting them with bruises. 6
89:33 But I will not remove 7 my loyal love from him,
nor be unfaithful to my promise. 8
89:34 I will not break 9 my covenant
or go back on what I promised. 10
89:35 Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness,
I will never deceive 11 David.
89:36 His dynasty will last forever. 12
His throne will endure before me, like the sun, 13
89:37 it will remain stable, like the moon, 14
his throne will endure like the skies.” 15 (Selah)
89:38 But you have spurned 16 and rejected him;
you are angry with your chosen king. 17
89:39 You have repudiated 18 your covenant with your servant; 19
you have thrown his crown to the ground. 20
89:40 You have broken down all his 21 walls;
you have made his strongholds a heap of ruins.
