Psalm 89:34–37

I will not violate my covenant

or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

Once for all I have sworn by my holiness;

I will not lie to David.

His offspring shall endure forever,

his throne as long as the sun before me.

Like the moon it shall be established forever,

a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah

I will not violate my covenant

or alter what my lips have uttered.

Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—

and I will not lie to David—

that his line will continue forever

and his throne endure before me like the sun;

it will be established forever like the moon,

the faithful witness in the sky.”

No, I will not break my covenant;

I will not take back a single word I said.

I have sworn an oath to David,

and in my holiness I cannot lie:

His dynasty will go on forever;

his kingdom will endure as the sun.

It will be as eternal as the moon,

my faithful witness in the sky!”

Interlude

I will not defile my covenant,

or alter what proceeded from my lips.

Once I have sworn by my holiness,

‘I will surely not lie to David,

His offspring will endure forever,

and his throne as the sun before me.

Like the moon it will be steadfast forever,

and like an enduring witness in the sky.’ ” Selah

My covenant will I not break,

Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Once have I sworn by my holiness

That I will not lie unto David.

His seed shall endure for ever,

And his throne as the sun before me.

It shall be established for ever as the moon,

And as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
