“I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn an oath to David My servant:

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

the covenant He made with Abraham,

of His faithful love.

He has provided food for those who fear Him;
He remembers His covenant forever.

If your sons keep My covenant
and My decrees that I will teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.

but we have not forgotten You
or betrayed Your covenant.

those who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite My statutes
and to take My covenant on your lips?

against those at peace with him;
he violates his covenant.

Consider the covenant,
for the dark places of the land are full of violence.

and refused to live by His law.
