Psalms 89:19-37

¹⁹Then thou spakest in vision of thy Holy One, and saidst, I have laid help upon a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁰I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

²¹With whom my hand shall be established; and mine arm shall strengthen him.

²²No enemy shall exact upon him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him;

²³But I will beat down his adversaries before his face, and will smite them that hate him.

²⁴And my faithfulness and my loving-kindness shall be with him, and by my name shall his horn be exalted.

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

²⁶He shall call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation;

²⁷And as to me, I will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;

²⁹And I will establish his seed for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in mine ordinances;

³¹If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:

³²Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

³³Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor belie my faithfulness;

³⁴My covenant will I not profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David:

³⁶His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;

³⁷It shall be established for ever as the moon, and the witness in the sky is firm. Selah.
