2 Samuel 7:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (B)when he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and with strokes of sons of mankind, 15 but My favor shall not depart from him, (C)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from you. 16 (D)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [a]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’”

Psalm 89:30-52
New American Standard Bible
30 “If his sons (A)abandon My Law
And do not walk in My judgments,
31 If they [a]violate My statutes
And do not keep My commandments,
32 Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the (B)rod,
And their guilt with [b]afflictions.
33 But I will not [c]withhold (C)My favor from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.
34 I will not [d]violate My (D)covenant,
Nor will I (E)alter [e]the utterance of My lips.
35 [f]Once I have (F)sworn by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.
36 His [g](G)descendants shall endure forever,
And his (H)throne (I)as the sun before Me.
37 It shall be established forever (J)like the moon,
And a (K)witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
38 But You have (L)rejected and (M)refused,
You have been full of wrath [h]against Your (N)anointed.
39 You have [i](O)repudiated the covenant of Your servant;
You have (P)profaned (Q)his crown [j]in the dust.
40 You have (R)broken down all his walls;
You have (S)brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 (T)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (U)disgrace to his neighbors.
42 You have (V)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (W)made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword,
And have (X)not made him stand in battle.
44 You have put an end to his [k](Y)splendor
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (Z)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (AA)covered him with shame. Selah
46 (AB)How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (AC)wrath burn like fire?
47 (AD)Remember [l]what my lifespan is;
For what (AE)futility [m]You have created all the sons of mankind!
48 What man can live and not (AF)see death?
Can he (AG)save his soul from the [n]power of [o]Sheol? Selah
49 Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,
Which You (AH)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, the (AI)taunt against Your servants;
[p]How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
51 With which (AJ)Your enemies have taunted, Lord,
With which they have taunted the footsteps of (AK)Your anointed.
52 (AL)Blessed be the Lord forever!
Amen and Amen.
