—

89:22

With whom My hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

The enemy shall not exact from him; Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

89:31

If his children forsake My law, And walk not in Mine ordinances; :

If they profane My statutes, And keep not My commandments;

—

89:33

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with strokes.

—

89:34

But My mercy will I not break off from him, Nor will I be false to My faithfulness.

—

89:35

My covenant will I not profane, Nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.

89:36

Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;

—

89:37

His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before Me.

—

89:38

It shall be established for ever as the moon; And be stedfast as the witness in sky.' Selah

—

89:41

Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
