Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 89 of Psalms. Psalm 89 combines praise for divine mercy with a profound crisis concerning the Davidic promise. The first part remembers the covenant with David and the promise of stability for his throne; the second describes a situation in which the king appears rejected and humiliated. The tension between promise and reality constitutes the center of the psalm. The conclusion does not completely resolve the crisis, but ends by affirming the blessing of the Lord.

Ich will meinen Bund nicht entheiligen, und nicht ändern, was aus meinem Munde gegangen ist.
Una vez he jurado por mi santidad, Que no mentiré a David.
Una vez he jurado por mi santidad; no le mentiré a David.
J'ai juré une fois par ma sainteté: Mentirai-je à David?
Io ho giurato una volta per la mia santità: Se io mento a Davide;
Uma vez jurei pela minha santidade que não mentirei a Davi.
我僅此一次指著自己的神聖起誓, 我絕不向 大衛 說謊!
