³⁴ "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'

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

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!

² I indeed declare, "Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them."

³ "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,

⁴ 'I will establish your seed forever, And build up your throne to all generations.'" Selah.

³⁷ But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

⁸ In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh before them.

¹¹ In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

⁵ Afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, and shall come with trembling to Yahweh and to his blessings in the last days.

²⁴ My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.

²⁵ They shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.

²³ I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²⁴ I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

²⁶ then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is [the name] by which she shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

¹⁷ For thus says Yahweh: David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;

¹⁹ Then you spoke in vision to your saints, And said, "I have bestowed strength on the warrior. I have exalted a young man from the people.

²⁰ I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,

²¹ With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.

²² No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

²³ I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

²⁴ But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.

²⁵ I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶ He will call to me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'

²⁷ I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸ I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.

²⁹ I will also make his seed endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰ If his children forsake my law, And don't walk in my ordinances;

³¹ If they break my statutes, And don't keep my commandments;

³² Then I will punish their sin with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.

³³ But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, Nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴ I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what my lips have uttered.

³⁵ Once have I sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

³⁶ His seed will endure forever, His throne like the sun before me.

³⁷ It will be established forever like the moon, The faithful witness in the sky." Selah.

⁵ Most assuredly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, Although he doesn't make it grow.

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 loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

¹⁶ Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before you: your throne shall be established forever.
