27. And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28. My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;
29. And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30. If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances;
31. If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness;
34. My covenant will I not profane, 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 the witness in the sky is firm. Selah.
38. But thou hast rejected and cast off; thou hast been very wroth with thine anointed:
39. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant; thou hast profaned his crown to the ground:
40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41. All that pass by the way plunder him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
