2 Chronicles 6:2
New King James Version
2 I have surely built You an exalted house,
And (A)a place for You to dwell in forever.”
Psalm 89:20-37
New King James Version
20 (A)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 (B)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [a]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.
24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25 Also I will (C)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are (D)my Father,
My God, and (E)the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him (F)My firstborn,
(G)The highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (H)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
29 His seed also I will make to endure forever,
(I)And his throne (J)as the days of heaven.
30 “If(K) his sons (L)forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [b]break My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
And their iniquity with stripes.
33 (M)Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not [c]utterly take from him,
Nor [d]allow My faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant I will not break,
Nor (N)alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
35 Once I have sworn (O)by My holiness;
I will not lie to David:
36 (P)His seed shall endure forever,
And his throne (Q)as the sun before Me;
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
