24 You have kept what You promised
to Your servant, my father David.
You spoke directly to him
and You fulfilled Your promise by Your power
as it is today.(A)
25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel,
keep what You promised
to Your servant, my father David:
You will never fail to have a man
to sit before Me on the throne of Israel,(B)
if only your sons guard their walk before Me
as you have walked before Me.(C)
26 Now Lord[a] God of Israel,
please confirm what You promised
to Your servant, my father David.(D)
