Psalm 89:28-37
American Standard Version
28 My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore;
And my covenant shall [a]stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
And his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law,
And walk not in mine ordinances;
31 If they [b]break my statutes,
And keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,
Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not [c]break,
Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 [d]Once have I sworn by my holiness:
I will not lie unto David:
36 His seed shall endure for ever,
And his throne as the sun before me.
37 [e]It shall be established for ever as the moon,
[f]And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
