Psalms 88:30-45 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

30. And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: and his throne as the days of heaven.

31. And if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments:

32. If they profane my justices: and keep not my commandments:

33. I will visit their iniquities with a rod: and their sins with stripes.

34. But my mercy I will not take away from him: nor will I suffer my truth to fail.

35. Neither will I profane my covenant: and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.

36. Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David:

37. his seed shall endure for ever.

38. And his throne as the sun before me: and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.

39. But thou hast rejected and despised: thou hast been angry with thy anointed.

40. Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.

41. Thou hast broken down all his hedges: thou hast made his strength fear.

42. All that pass by the way have robbed him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

43. Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

44. Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; and hast not assisted him in battle.

45. Thou hast made his purification to cease: and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
