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.
25I will extend his rule from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River.
26He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
27I will also make him my first-born son, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28I will love him faithfully forever; my agreement with him shall never come to an end.
29I will make sure his royal line lasts forever; his dynasty will continue as long as the heavens endure.
30But if his descendants abandon my laws, if they do not follow my rules,
31if they break my decrees, and do not keep my commandments,
32I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a rod, and their sin by lashing them with a whip.
33However, I will not take away my love from him; I will not break my promise to him.
34I will not annul the agreement I have with him; I will not alter a single word I've said.
35By my holy character I have made a vow to David that I will not lie to him.
36His royal line will last forever, and his dynasty will continue before me as long as the sun endures.
37It will continue forever like the moon, an enduring witness in the heavens.” Selah.
38But you have rejected and abandoned him! You are angry with your chosen king!
39You have broken the agreement you had with him; you have thrown his crown to the ground!
40You have torn down his defensive walls; you have ruined his fortresses.
41Everyone who passes by has robbed him; he has become an object of mockery to the nations nearby.
42You have made his enemies strong; you have made them celebrate their victory.
43You have repelled his sharp sword; you have not helped him in battle.
44You took away his glory; you threw his throne to the ground.
45You have made him grow old before his time; you have totally humiliated him. Selah.
46How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself from us forever, your anger burning like fire?
47Remember me—my life is so short! Why did you bother creating futile humanity?
48There's no one who doesn't die—no one can save themselves from the power of the grave. Selah.
