Psalm 89:30-36

I Will Sing of the Steadfast Love of the Lord

30 n If his children forsake my law
and do not walk according to my rules, 1
31 if they violate my statutes
and do not keep my commandments,
 32 then I will punish their transgression with o the rod
and their iniquity with stripes,
 33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
or be false to my faithfulness.
 34 I will not violate my k covenant
or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
 35 Once for all I have sworn p by my holiness;
I will not q lie to David.
 36 His l offspring shall endure forever,
r his l throne as long as s the sun before me.
