35 Once have I by my Holiness ‖ taken my solemn Oath; ‖ To David I will never lye‖ (To the Beloved one.) ‖
36 His Offspring shall continue still I to perpetuity; ‖ and his Throne shall before me be I even like unto the Sun. ‖
37 It shall be stablish'd like the Moon ‖ to perpetuity; ‖ and there's the faithful Witness, there's ‖ the Rainbow, in the sky. ‖ Selah. ‖
38 But now thou hast rejected and ‖ expressed much disdain: ‖ And against thy Anointed One ‖ thou hast been very wroth. ‖
