20  ‘I have found David my servant; ♦︎
   with my holy oil have I anointed him.
21  ‘My hand shall hold him fast ♦︎
   and my arm shall strengthen him.
22  ‘No enemy shall deceive him, ♦︎
   nor any wicked person afflict him.
23  ‘I will strike down his foes before his face ♦︎
   and beat down those that hate him.
24  ‘My truth also and my steadfast love shall be with him, ♦︎
   and in my name shall his head be exalted.
25  ‘I will set his dominion upon the sea ♦︎
   and his right hand upon the rivers.
26  ‘He shall call to me, “You are my Father, ♦︎
   my God, and the rock of my salvation;”
27  ‘And I will make him my firstborn, ♦︎
   the most high above the kings of the earth.
28  ‘The love I have pledged to him will I keep for ever, ♦︎
   and my covenant will stand fast with him.
29  ‘His seed also will I make to endure for ever ♦︎
   and his throne as the days of heaven.
30  ‘But if his children forsake my law ♦︎
   and cease to walk in my judgements,
31  ‘If they break my statutes ♦︎
   and do not keep my commandments,
32  ‘I will punish their offences with a rod ♦︎
   and their sin with scourges.
33  ‘But I will not take from him my steadfast love ♦︎
   nor suffer my truth to fail.
34  ‘My covenant will I not break ♦︎
   nor alter what has gone out of my lips.
35  ‘Once for all have I sworn by my holiness ♦︎
   that I will not prove false to David.
36  ‘His seed shall endure for ever ♦︎
   and his throne as the sun before me;
37  ‘It shall stand fast for ever as the moon, ♦︎
   the enduring witness in the heavens.’
