Psalms 89:16-24

¹⁶They celebrate the person you are all day long, so glad that you do what's right.

¹⁷They rely on you, their glory and strength; by your grace you lift us up.

¹⁸Yes, the Lord is the one who shields us, and our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹Once you spoke in a vision to your faithful servant and said, “I have given strength to the warrior I have chosen from the people to become king.

²⁰I have selected David my servant, and I have anointed him with the oil of my holiness.

²¹I have placed my hand on him to steady him; and I have made him strong by my powerful arm.

²²His enemies will not deceive him; the wicked will not bring him down.

²³I will wipe out his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.

²⁴My trustworthiness and unfailing love will be with him, and through me he will be victorious.
