²⁶ He will call to Me, ‘You are ^(A)my Father,
My God, and the ^(B)rock of my salvation.’
²⁷ I also shall make him My ^(C)firstborn,
The ^(D)highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸ My ^(E)lovingkindness I will keep for him forever,
And My ^(F)covenant shall be confirmed to him.
²⁹ So I will set up his ^(G)seed to endure forever
And his ^(H)throne ^(I)as the days of heaven.

³⁰ “If his sons ^(J)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
³¹ If they profane My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
³² Then I will punish their transgression with the ^(K)rod
And their iniquity with striking.
³³ But I will not break off ^(L)My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
³⁴ My ^(M)covenant I will not profane,
Nor will I ^(N)alter what comes forth from My lips.
^35 [a]Once I have ^(O)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
³⁶ His ^(P)seed shall endure forever
And his ^(Q)throne ^(R)as the sun before Me.
³⁷ It shall be established forever ^(S)like the moon,
And the ^(T)witness in the sky is faithful.” ^[b]Selah.

³⁸ But You have ^(U)cast off and ^(V)rejected,
You have been full of wrath ^[c]against Your ^(W)anointed.
³⁹ You have ^(X)spurned the covenant of Your ^[d]slave;
You have ^(Y)profaned ^(Z)his crown to the ground.
⁴⁰ You have ^(AA)broken down all his walls;
You have ^(AB)beset his strongholds with ruin.
^41 (AC)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a ^(AD)reproach to his neighbors.
⁴² You have ^(AE)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have ^(AF)made all his enemies be glad.
⁴³ You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have ^(AG)not made him arise in battle.
⁴⁴ You have made his ^[e](AH)splendor to cease
And cast his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ You have ^(AI)shortened the days of his youth;
You have ^(AJ)wrapped him up with shame. Selah.

^46 (AK)How long, O Yahweh?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your ^(AL)wrath burn like fire?
^47 (AM)Remember ^[f]what my span of life is;
For what ^(AN)vanity ^[g]You have created all the sons of men!
⁴⁸ What man can live and not ^(AO)see death?
Can he ^(AP)provide his soul escape from the ^[h]power of Sheol? Selah.

⁴⁹ Where are Your former lovingkindnesses, O Lord,
Which You ^(AQ)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
⁵⁰ Remember, O Lord, the ^(AR)reproach of Your ^[i]slaves;
^[j]How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
⁵¹ With which ^(AS)Your enemies have reproached, O Yahweh,
With which they have reproached the footsteps of ^(AT)Your anointed.

^52 (AU)Blessed be Yahweh forever!
Amen and Amen.
