His seed I by my pow'r will make for ever to endure; And, as the days of heav'n, his throne shall stable be, and sure.

His seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye.
The Lord in truth to David sware, he will not turn from it, I of thy body's fruit will make upon thy throne to sit.
For ever and for ever is, O God, thy throne of might; The sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre that is right.
When he desired life of thee, thou life to him didst give; Ev'n such a length of days, that he for evermore should live.
