36 I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
37 His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
38 It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)
39 But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
40 You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
41 All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
42 All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
