25NowH6258 then, LordH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 You have 1promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, ‘23You shall not be deprivedH3772 of a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, ifH518 onlyH7534 your sonsH1121 areH8104 carefulH8104 about their wayH1870, to walkH1980 beforeH6440 Me as you have walkedH1980.’ 26NowH6258 then, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let Your wordsH1697, pleaseH4994, be confirmedH539, 4whichH834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732.
