Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.

我一次指着自己的圣洁起誓：我决不向大卫说谎！

我仅此一次指着自己的神圣起誓，我绝不向大卫说谎！

我仅此一次指着自己的神圣起誓，我绝不向大卫说谎！

因我曾凭自己的圣洁向大卫起誓，我绝无谎言。

我断然指着自己的圣洁起誓，说：‘我决不向大卫说谎。

我曾指着我的圣洁起过一次誓，我绝不对大卫说谎。

我一次指着自己的聖潔起誓：我決不向大衛說謊！

我僅此一次指着自己的神聖起誓，我絕不向大衛說謊！

我僅此一次指着自己的神聖起誓，我絕不向大衛說謊！

因我曾憑自己的聖潔向大衛起誓，我絕無謊言。

我斷然指著自己的聖潔起誓，說：‘我決不向大衛說謊。

我儘一次地指着自己的至聖來起誓：我決不向大衛說謊。

我曾指著我的聖潔起過一次誓，我絕不對大衛說謊。

我指己聖而誓、一次而已、必不欺誑大衛兮、

余也至聖、指己而誓、必不欺大闢兮、

我乃至聖、既向大衛一次指己而誓、決無虛言、

盟約焉可廢。言出豈能更。

Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—

Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

I have sworn an oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie:

Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David:

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

Once and for all I have sworn an oath by My holiness; I will not lie to David.

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

Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.

Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

So God gave his word when he made his promise. He wanted to make it very clear that his purpose does not change. He wanted those who would receive what was promised to know this.

When God made his promise to Abraham, God gave his word. There was no one greater than himself to promise by. So he promised by making an appeal to himself.

That belief and understanding lead to the hope of eternal life. Before time began, God promised to give that life. And he does not lie.

The Lord has made a promise. He will not change his mind. He has said,“ You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek.”

The Lord and King has made a promise by his own holy name. He says,“ You can be sure that the time will come when your enemies will put hooks in your faces. They will lead every one of you away with fishhooks.

Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.

People of Jacob, you are proud that the Lord is your God. But he has made a promise in his own name. He says,“ I will never forget anything Israel has done.
