Psalm 89:31-33
New Catholic Bible
31 [a]“If his descendants forsake my law
and refuse to conform to my decrees,
32 if they break my statutes
and do not keep my precepts,
33 I will punish their disobedience with the rod
and their iniquity with scourges.
Footnotes
- Psalm 89:31 God’s promises can be said to be partly provisional and partly absolute. As provisional promises, they were not fulfilled in David’s descendants who did not carry out the conditions of the covenant (vv. 31-33). As absolute promises, they were fulfilled in the Son of God, who is also the Son of David (vv. 34-38).
