The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
non auferes misericordiam tuam a domo mea usque in sempiternum, quando eradicaverit Dominus inimicos David, unumquemque de terra : auferat Jonathan de domo sua, et requirat Dominus de manu inimicorum David.
Septuagint (Swete)
οὐκ ἐξαρεῖς ἔλεός σου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου μου ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ εἰ μὴ, ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν Κύριον τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Δαυεὶδ ἕκαστον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, εὑρεθῆναι τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Ἰωναθὰν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Δαυείδ· καὶ ἐκζητήσαι Κύριος ἐχθροὺς τοῦ Δαυείδ.
Hebrew (WLC)
וְלֹֽא תַכְרִ֧ת אֶֽת חַסְדְּךָ֛ מֵעִ֥ם בֵּיתִ֖י עַד עוֹלָ֑ם וְלֹ֗א בְּהַכְרִ֤ת יְהוָה֙ אֶת אֹיְבֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אִ֕ישׁ מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה

Haydock's commentary

May he. It is a curse upon himself, if he should not be faithful to his promise.

It. That is, revenge it upon David's enemies, and upon me, if I shall fail of my word given to him. (Challoner)

The Hebrew and several Latin manuscripts stop at earth; and what follows, is not found in some Greek and Latin editions. (Calmet)

Enemies. May God punish David's enemies, and me among the rest. (Menochius)
