Where thy former mercies, O Jehovah, thou didst sware to David in thy faithfulness?
And my mercy I will not remove from him as I removed from Saul whom I removed from thy face.
(For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)
Incline your ear, and come to me, and hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut out with you an eternal covenant, the sure mercies of David.
Once did I swear in my holy place if I shall lie to David.
He will turn back the evil to those oppressing me; in thy truth cut them off.
Thus will God do to Abner, and thus will he add to him, for as Jehovah sware to David that thus I will do to him:
(And the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceased forever:)
For he shall see the wise shall die: together the fool and the stupid one shall perish, and they left their wealth to others.
