Psalms 89:16-34

¹⁶In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.

¹⁷For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.

¹⁸For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.

¹⁹Then your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.

²⁰I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

²¹My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.

²²The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

²³I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

²⁴But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.

²⁵I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

²⁶He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

²⁷And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

²⁸I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

²⁹His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

³⁰If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;

³¹If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;

³²Then I will send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.

³³But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

³⁴I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
