Psalm 89:19–37

¹⁹You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones

and said, “I have granted help to a warrior;

I have exalted one chosen^D from the people.^c

²⁰I have found David my servant;

I have anointed him with my sacred oil.^d

²¹My hand will always be with him,

and my arm will strengthen him.^e

²²The enemy will not oppress^E him;

the wicked will not afflict him.^f

²³I will crush his foes before him

and strike those who hate him.^g

²⁴My faithfulness and love will be with him,

and through my name

his horn will be exalted.^h

²⁵I will extend his power to the sea

and his right hand to the rivers.ⁱ

²⁶He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,^j

my God, the rock of my salvation.’^k

²⁷I will also make him my firstborn,

greatest of the kings of the earth.^l

²⁸I will always preserve my faithful love for him,

and my covenant with him will endure.^m

²⁹I will establish his line forever,

his throne as long as heaven lasts.^An

³⁰If his sons abandon my instruction

and do not live by my ordinances,^o

³¹if they dishonor my statutes

and do not keep my commands,^p

³²then I will call their rebellion

to account with the rod,

their iniquity with blows.^q

³³But I will not withdraw

my faithful love from him

or betray my faithfulness.^r

³⁴I will not violate my covenant

or change what my lips have said.^s

³⁵Once and for all

I have sworn an oath by my holiness;

I will not lie to David.^t

³⁶His offspring will continue forever,

his throne like the sun before me,^u

³⁷like the moon, established forever,

a faithful witness in the sky.”^v
