26. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27. I also will make him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall 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 my judgments;
31. If they 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 mercy will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35. 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. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
38. But thou hast cast off and rejected, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39. Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.
40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to rain.
41. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
42. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43. Yea, thou turnest back the edge his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44. Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
