Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.

that You swore to David in Your faithfulness?

There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.

and all the hardships he endured,

Because of Your servant David,
do not reject Your anointed one.

a promise He will not abandon:
“I will set one of your descendants
on your throne.

There I will make a horn grow for David;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

who frees His servant David
from the deadly sword.
