¹³ I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

⁵ To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

³ Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

¹² For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

⁷ I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

¹² He will be the builder of my house, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

¹⁴ And not to the Lord: for this reason, he put him to death and gave the kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.

²⁸ And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.

¹⁸ And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

³⁵ The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands.

³⁵ And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

³² He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

²⁶ He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

²⁷ And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

²⁸ I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

²⁹ His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

³⁰ If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;

³¹ If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;

³² Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

³³ But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

³⁴ I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.

³⁵ I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.

³⁶ His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.

³⁷ It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)

³⁶ And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

¹² I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

¹³ Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

¹⁴ I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

¹⁵ But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

¹⁶ And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.
