You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant

Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David

You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant

Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him

I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie

The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn an oath to David my servant

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

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

“I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn to My servant David

Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David

Your love, GOD, is my song, and I’ll sing it! I’m forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I’ll never quit telling the story of your love— how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives’ foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world. You once said, “I joined forces with my chosen leader, I pledged my word to my servant, David, saying, ‘Everyone descending from you is guaranteed life; I’ll make your rule as solid and lasting as rock.’”

A long time ago you spoke in a vision, you spoke to your faithful beloved: “I’ve crowned a hero, I chose the best I could find; I found David, my servant, poured holy oil on his head, And I’ll keep my hand steadily on him, yes, I’ll stick with him through thick and thin. No enemy will get the best of him, no scoundrel will do him in. I’ll weed out all who oppose him, I’ll clean out all who hate him. I’m with him for good and I’ll love him forever; I’ve set him on high—he’s riding high! I’ve put Ocean in his one hand, River in the other; he’ll call out, ‘Oh, my Father—my God, my Rock of Salvation!’ Yes, I’m setting him apart as the First of the royal line, High King over all of earth’s kings. I’ll preserve him eternally in my love, I’ll faithfully do all I so solemnly promised. I’ll guarantee his family tree and underwrite his rule. If his children refuse to do what I tell them, if they refuse to walk in the way I show them, If they spit on the directions I give them and tear up the rules I post for them— I’ll rub their faces in the dirt of their rebellion and make them face the music. But I’ll never throw them out, never abandon or disown them. Do you think I’d withdraw my holy promise? or take back words I’d already spoken? I’ve given my word, my whole and holy word; do you think I would lie to David? His family tree is here for good, his sovereignty as sure as the sun, Dependable as the phases of the moon, inescapable as weather.”

“I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to My servant David

“Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

[God has said] “I have made a covenant with My chosen one; I have sworn to David My servant

“Once [for all] I have sworn by My holiness, [My vow which cannot be violated]; I will not lie to David.

The LORD said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant

Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.
