¹³ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;

⁵ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?

³ Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

⁷ I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

¹² He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

¹⁴ and inquired not of Jehovah: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

²⁸ And Samuel said unto him, Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.

¹⁸ And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him.

³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

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' first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸ My lovingkindness 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 mine ordinances;

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 lovingkindness 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

³⁶ And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

¹² Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

¹³ Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

¹⁵ but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

¹⁶ And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
