In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took {it} from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

That by two immutable things, in which {it was} impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he {is} not a man, that he should repent. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}

He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; {but} will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown {by casting it} to the ground.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

{They are} new every morning: great {is} thy faithfulness.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God {is} faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear {it}. {common...: or, moderate}

God {is} faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

[Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Ethan the Ezrahite, to give instruction} {to all...: Heb. to generation and generation}

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

But my faithfulness and my mercy {shall be} with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein {is}: which keepeth truth for ever:

The LORD hath sworn {in} truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. {body: Heb. belly}

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; {but} will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I {am} the LORD their God.
