[verse 32] They shall be sure that I their God,
to visit will begin;
And scourge them with a smarting rod,
for their offence and sin.
[verse 33] Yet wholly to withdraw my love,
their sin shall not prevail:
Nor shall they so much anger move,
to make my truth to fail.
[verse 34] My cov'nant I will never break,
it shall continue still:
And that which once my lips did speak,
I'le certainly fulfill.
[verse 35] Once by my holiness I swore,
that sacred oath and high;
That having promised before
to David I'le not ly.
[verse 36] His seed for ever shall endure,
while time it self shall run:
His throne shall be establisht sure
before me as the sun.
[verse 37] And as the moon within the skie
for ever standeth fast,
A faithful witness there on high;
so shall his kingdom last.
