31. If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,
32. I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,
33. And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34. I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.
35. Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,
36. His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,
37. As the moon it is established--to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.
38. And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,
39. Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,
40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.
41. Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,
42. Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
43. Also--Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,
44. Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.
45. Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. Selah.
