28. Forever I will keep my loyal love for him, and my covenant will be reliable for him.
29. I will also establish his offspring forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
30. If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,
31. if they defile my statutes and do not keep my commandments,
32. then I will punish their transgression with a rod, and their guilt with wounds.
33. But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.
34. I will not defile my covenant, or alter what proceeded from my lips.
35. Once I have sworn by my holiness, ‘I will surely not lie to David,
36. His offspring will endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37. Like the moon it will be steadfast forever, and like an enduring witness in the sky.’ ” Selah
