Psalms 89:35

David

33 But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.

34 I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.

Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness— I will not lie to David—

36 his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,

37 like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
