He shall cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
27
Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
28
My mercy I will keep for him forever, And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
29
His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

"If his sons forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,
31
If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,
32
Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33
Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
34
My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35
Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:
36
His seed shall endure forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
