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.
