Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: {lamp: or, candle}

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: {but} I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

And it shall come to pass in that day, {that} his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. {be taken...: Heb. remove}

And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on. {deny...: Heb. turn not away my face}

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
