19 1Once You spoke in vision to Your godly 2ones,

And said, “I have 3given help to one who is amighty;

I have exalted one bchosen from the people.

20 “I have afound David My servant;

With My holy boil I have anointed him,

21 With whom aMy hand will be established;

My arm also will bstrengthen him.

22 “The enemy will not 1deceive him,

Nor the 2ason of wickedness afflict him.

23 “But I shall acrush his adversaries before him,

And strike those who hate him.

24 “My afaithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him,

And in My name his bhorn will be exalted.

25 “I shall also set his hand aon the sea

And his right hand on the rivers.

26 “He will cry to Me, ‘You are amy Father,

My God, and the brock of my salvation.’

27 “I also shall make him My afirstborn,

The bhighest of the kings of the earth.

28 “My alovingkindness I will keep for him forever,

And My bcovenant shall be confirmed to him.

29 “So I will establish his 1adescendants forever

And his bthrone cas the days of heaven.

30 “If his sons aforsake My law

And do not walk in My judgments,

31 If they 1violate My statutes

And do not keep My commandments,

32 Then I will punish their transgression with the arod

And their iniquity with stripes.

33 “But I will not break off aMy lovingkindness from him,

Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

34 “My acovenant I will not 1violate,

Nor will I balter 2the utterance of My lips.

35 “1Once I have asworn by My holiness;

I will not lie to David.

36 “His 1adescendants shall endure forever

And his bthrone cas the sun before Me.

37 “It shall be established forever alike the moon,

And the bwitness in the sky is faithful.”

1Selah.
