¹⁹Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said: “I have set the crown on one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.

²⁰I have found my servant David; with my holy oil I have anointed him;

²¹my hand shall always remain with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him.

²³I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.

²⁴My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him; and in my name his horn shall be exalted.

²⁵I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’

²⁷I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him, and my covenant with him will stand firm.

²⁹I will establish his line forever, and his throne as long as the heavens endure.

³⁰If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my ordinances,

³¹if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,

³²then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with scourges;

³³but I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness.

³⁴I will not violate my covenant, or alter the word that went forth from my lips.

³⁵Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

³⁶His line shall continue forever, and his throne endure before me like the sun.

³⁷It shall be established forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the skies.” Selah
