89:49 Where are your earlier faithful deeds, 14 O Lord, 15
the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David? 16
A song of ascents. 18
132:1 O Lord, for David’s sake remember
all his strenuous effort, 19
132:17 There I will make David strong; 20
I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue. 21
9:7 His dominion will be vast 22
and he will bring immeasurable prosperity. 23
He will rule on David’s throne
and over David’s kingdom, 24
establishing it 25 and strengthening it
by promoting justice and fairness, 26
from this time forward and forevermore.
The Lord’s intense devotion to his people 27 will accomplish this.
33:19 The Lord spoke further to Jeremiah. 31 33:20 “I, Lord, make the following promise: 32 ‘I have made a covenant with the day 33 and with the night that they will always come at their proper times. Only if you people 34 could break that covenant 33:21 could my covenant with my servant David and my covenant with the Levites ever be broken. So David will by all means always have a descendant to occupy his throne as king and the Levites will by all means always have priests who will minister before me. 35 33:22 I will make the children who follow one another in the line of my servant David very numerous. I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous. I will make them all as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sands which are on the seashore.’” 36
33:23 The Lord spoke still further to Jeremiah. 37 33:24 “You have surely noticed what these people are saying, haven’t you? They are saying, 38 ‘The Lord has rejected the two families of Israel and Judah 39 that he chose.’ So they have little regard that my people will ever again be a nation. 40 33:25 But I, the Lord, make the following promise: 41 I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth. 33:26 Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, 42 I will restore them 43 and show mercy to them.”
