Psalm 89:19–37

¹⁹Then thou spakest in vision to thy saints,

And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty;

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;

Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not exact from him,

Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³And I will beat down his adversaries before him,

And smite them that hate him.

²⁴But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him;

And in my name shall his horn be exalted.

²⁵I will set his hand also on the sea,

And his right hand on the rivers.

²⁶He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father,

My God, and the rock of my salvation.

²⁷I also will make him my first-born,

The highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore;

And my covenant shall stand fast with him.

²⁹His seed also will I make to endure for ever,

And his throne as the days of heaven.

³⁰If his children forsake my law,

And walk not in mine ordinances;

³¹If they break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

³²Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.

³³But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,

Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

³⁴My covenant will I not break,

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 as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
