  1. Psalm 89:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 37, 45 and 48.

26 He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,(A)
my God, the rock of my salvation.’(B)
27 I will also make him my firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.(C)
28 I will always preserve my faithful love for him,
and my covenant with him will endure.(D)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as heaven lasts.[a](E)
30 If his sons abandon my instruction
and do not live by my ordinances,(F)
31 if they dishonor my statutes
and do not keep my commands,(G)
32 then I will call their rebellion
to account with the rod,
their iniquity with blows.(H)
33 But I will not withdraw
my faithful love from him
or betray my faithfulness.(I)
34 I will not violate my covenant
or change what my lips have said.(J)
35 Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by my holiness;
I will not lie to David.(K)
36 His offspring will continue forever,
his throne like the sun before me,(L)
37 like the moon, established forever,
a faithful witness in the sky.”(M)Selah
