19You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.
21My hand will sustain him; surely My arm will strengthen him.
22No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
23I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
24My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.
25I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.
26He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation.’
27I will indeed appoint him as My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.
29I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
30If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,
31if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,
32I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.
33But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.
34I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
35Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—I will not lie to David—
36his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,
37like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
