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

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁵ He has given food to those who fear him. He always remembers his covenant.

⁹ He has sent redemption to his people. He has ordained his covenant forever. His name is holy and awesome!

¹⁰ For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yahweh who has mercy on you.

²⁰ Thus says Yahweh: If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;

²¹ then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

³² We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

³³ that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'

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.'
