[A Psalm] of instruction for Ethan the Israelite. I will sing of Your mercies, O Lord, forever; I will declare Your truth with my mouth to all generations.

And I will establish his seed forever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me;

Let His name be blessed forever; His name shall endure longer than the sun, and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.

If your children will keep My covenant, and these My testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.

And it shall come to pass when your days have been fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.

I will be to him a father, and he shall be to Me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.

And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom forever before Me, and his throne shall be established forever.

then will I establish the throne of your kingdom in Israel forever, as I spoke to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to rule in Israel.

and from the days when I appointed judges over My people Israel. Also I have humbled all your enemies, and I will increase you, and the Lord shall build you a house.

He shall build Me a house, and I will set up his throne forever.

And I will establish him in My house and in his kingdom forever; and his throne shall be set up forever.

He shall build a house to My name; and he shall be a son to Me, and I will be a Father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom in Israel forever.

For a Child is born to us, and a Son is given to us, whose government is upon His shoulder; and His name is called the Messenger of great counsel; for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to Him.

His government shall be great, and of His peace there is no end; [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] His kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from this time forward and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the weak one among them in that day shall be as David, and the house of David as the house of God, as the Angel of the Lord before them.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give Him the throne of His father David.

And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end."

And He said to them, "How do they say that the Christ is the Son of David?

till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."'

And we proclaim to you the good news of the promise which was made to the fathers,

"And that He raised Him from the dead, no longer being about to return to corruption, thus He has said: 'I will give you the sure decrees of God concerning David.'

"For David indeed in his own generation, having served by the purpose of God, died, and was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

concerning His Son, who came of [the] seed of David according to the flesh,

who was declared Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of [the] dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be the root of Jesse; and He that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope."

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him, and has graciously given Him a name which is above every name,

and [that] every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Stock of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
