He despises a reprobate, but honors the Lord's loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord's promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

In God -- I boast in his promise -- in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?

In God -- I boast in his promise -- in the Lord -- I boast in his promise --

Look what ye promise unto the LORD your God: see that ye keep it, all ye that be round about him; bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

So they spake him fair with their mouth, And, with their tongue, did promise him falsely;

Let me listen to what God, the LORD, says; for the LORD will promise peace to his people, to his holy ones; may they not return to foolishness.

The Lord said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant:

But I will not remove my loyal love from him, nor be unfaithful to my promise.

“Therefore I swore [an oath] in My wrath,
‘They absolutely shall not enter My rest [the land of promise].’”

He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained
for a thousand generations—

the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac!

He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise,

For He remembered His holy promise
to Abraham His servant.

They despised the pleasant land
and did not believe His promise.

The Lord makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: "You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek."

Fulfill your promise to your servant, that you may be feared.

Vav.
May Your lovingkindness also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your promise;

Zayin.
Remember [always] the word and promise to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.

This is my comfort in my affliction:
Your promise has given me life.

The LORD is my inheritance; I have given my promise to keep your word.

I have sought Your favor with all my heart;
be gracious to me according to Your promise.

Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your promise.

O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort, according to the promise that thou hast made unto thy servant.

My eyes grow tired as I wait for your promise to be fulfilled. I say, "When will you comfort me?"

Uphold me according to Your word [of promise], so that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope [in Your great goodness].

My eyes grow weary looking for Your salvation
and for Your righteous promise.

Make my steps steady through Your promise;
don’t let any sin dominate me.

I am awake through each watch of the night
to meditate on Your promise.

Plead my cause, and redeem me! Revive me according to your promise.

I rejoice over Your promise
like one who finds vast treasure.

Tav.
Let my [mournful] cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] according to Your word [of promise].

Let my plea reach You;
rescue me according to Your promise.

My tongue sings about Your promise,
for all Your commands are righteous.

The Lord swore an oath to David,
a promise He will not abandon:
“I will set one of your descendants
on your throne.

I will bow down toward Your holy temple
and give thanks to Your name
for Your constant love and truth.
You have exalted Your name
and Your promise above everything else.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that therein is; who keepeth his promise forever;
