My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
