17(89:18) For thou art the glory of their strength; and through thy favor will our horn be exalted.
18(89:19) For of the Lord is our shield; and of the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19(89:20) Then spokest thou in a vision to thy pious servant, and saidst, “I have bestowed help to one that is mighty; I have exalted a youth out of the people;
20(89:21) I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him;
21(89:22) With whom my hand shall be firmly established; also my arm shall strengthen him;
22(89:23) The enemy shall not exact from him like a lender: and the son of injustice shall not afflict him:
23(89:24) And I will beat down before his face his assailants, and those that hate him will I plague.
24(89:25) But my faithfulness and my kindness shall be with him: and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
25(89:26) And I will place on the sea his hand, and on the rivers his right hand.
26(89:27) He will call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27(89:28) Also I will appoint my first-born, the highest among the kings of the earth.
28(89:29) For evermore will I keep for him my kindness, and my covenant shall stand faithfully with him.
29(89:30) And I appoint for ever his seed, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30(89:31) If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances;
31(89:32) If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
32(89:33) Then will I visit with the rod their transgressions, and with plagues their iniquity.
33(89:34) Nevertheless my kindness will I not make utterly void from him, and I will not act falsely against my faithfulness.
34(89:35) I will not profane my covenant, and what is gone out of my lips will I not alter.
35(89:36) One thing have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David.
36(89:37) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne shall be like the sun before me.
37(89:38) Like the moon shall it be firmly established for ever, and as this faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
38(89:39) And yet thou hast east off and despised, thou hast become wroth with thy anointed.
39(89:40) Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned, down to the ground, his crown.
40(89:41) Thou hast broken down all his fences: thou hast brought his strong-holds to terror.
41(89:42) All that pass by the way plunder him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.
42(89:43) Thou hast raised up the right hand of his assailants: thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
