18Yahweh, you gave us the one who protects us MET; you, the holy God whom we Israelis worship, chose a king for us.
19Long ago you spoke in a vision to one of your servants/prophets, saying, “I have helped a famous soldier; I chose him from among all the people to be a king.
20That man is David, the one who will serve me faithfully, and I anointed him with sacred olive oil to make him king.
21I MTY will always strengthen him; with my power MTY I will make him strong.
