19 You spoke once in a vision and said to your faithful people: ♦︎
I have set a youth above the mighty;
I have raised a young man over the people.
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.

19 Then 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.
20 I have found my servant David;
with my holy oil I have anointed him;
21 my hand shall always remain with him;
my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not outwit him,
the wicked shall not humble him.
23 I will crush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
24 My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him;
and in my name his horn shall be exalted.
25 I will set his hand on the sea
and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He shall cry to me, You are my Father,
my God, and the Rock of my salvation!
27 I will make him the firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 For-ever I will keep my steadfast love for him,
and my covenant with him will stand firm.
29 I will establish his line for ever,
and his throne as long as the heavens endure.
