33. But I will not take my mercy away from himor allow my truth to become a lie.
34. I will not dishonor my promiseor alter my own agreement.
35. On my holiness I have taken an oath once and for all:I will not lie to David.
36. His dynasty will last forever.His throne will be in my presence like the sun.
37. Like the moon his throne will stand firm forever.It will be like a faithful witness in heaven.”
38. But you have despised, rejected,and become angry with your anointed one.
39. You have refused to recognize the promise to your servantand have thrown his crown into the dirt.
40. You have broken through all his wallsand have laid his fortified cities in ruins.
41. (Everyone who passed by robbed him.He has become the object of his neighbors’ scorn.)
42. You held the right hand of his enemies highand made all of his adversaries rejoice.
