Psalms 89:15-31

¹⁵Blessed are the people who worship you! Yahweh, they walk in the light of your face.

¹⁶They rejoice in your name all day long, and in your righteousness they exalt you.

¹⁷You are their majestic strength, and by your favor we are victorious.

¹⁸For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones; you said, “I have set a crown on a mighty one.” I have raised up one chosen from among the people.

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

²¹My hand will support him; my arm will strengthen him.

²²No enemy will deceive him; no son of wickedness will oppress him.

²³I will crush his enemies before him; I will kill those who hate him.

²⁴My truth and my covenant faithfulness will be with him; by my name he will be victorious.

²⁵I will place his hand over the sea and his right hand over the rivers.

²⁶He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'

²⁷I also will place him as my firstborn son, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

²⁸I will extend my covenant faithfulness to him forever; and my covenant with him will be secure.

²⁹I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne as enduring as the skies above.

³⁰If his children forsake my law and do not walk in my regulations,

³¹if they break my rules and do not keep my commands,
