22The enemy shall not have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.
23For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.
24My faithfulness and mercy shall be with him, And through my name shall his horn be exalted.
25I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.
26He shall say to me, 'Thou art my father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'
27I will also make him my first-born, Highest of the kings of the earth.
28My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.
29I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
30Should his children forsake my law, And walk not in my statutes,
31Should they break my commandments, And observe not my precepts,
32I will punish their transgressions with a rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
33But my kindness will I not withdraw from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what hath gone from my lips.
35Once have I sworn in my holiness, That I will not be false unto David.
36His family shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.
37It shall be established for ever like the moon; Like the faithful witness in the sky.”
38But now thou forsakest and abhorrest, And art angry with, thine anointed.
39Thou hast made void the covenant with thy servant; Thou hast cast his crown to the ground.
40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
41All who pass by plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
42Thou hast lifted up the right hand of his enemies; Thou hast made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43Yea, thou hast turned the edge of his sword, And made him unable to stand in battle.
