ESVEnglish Standard Version

Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said:

“I have granted help to one who is mighty;

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found David, my servant;

with my holy oil I have anointed him,

so that my hand shall be established with him;

my arm also shall strengthen him.

The enemy shall not outwit him;

the wicked shall not humble him.

I will crush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.

My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him,

and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

I will set his hand on the sea

and his right hand on the rivers.

He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father,

my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

And I will make him the firstborn,

the highest of the kings of the earth.

My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

and my covenant will stand firm for him.

I will establish his offspring forever

and his throne as the days of the heavens.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Once you spoke in a vision,

to your faithful people you said:

“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;

I have raised up a young man from among the people.

I have found David my servant;

with my sacred oil I have anointed him.

My hand will sustain him;

surely my arm will strengthen him.

The enemy will not get the better of him;

the wicked will not oppress him.

I will crush his foes before him

and strike down his adversaries.

My faithful love will be with him,

and through my name his horn will be exalted.

I will set his hand over the sea,

his right hand over the rivers.

He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,

my God, the Rock my Savior.’

And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,

the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

I will maintain my love to him forever,

and my covenant with him will never fail.

I will establish his line forever,

his throne as long as the heavens endure.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones

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

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found David my servant;

I have anointed him with my sacred oil.

My hand will always be with him,

and my arm will strengthen him.

The enemy will not oppress him;

the wicked will not afflict him.

I will crush his foes before him

and strike those who hate him.

My faithfulness and love will be with him,

and through my name

his horn will be exalted.

I will extend his power to the sea

and his right hand to the rivers.

He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,

my God, the rock of my salvation.’

I will also make him my firstborn,

greatest of the kings of the earth.

I will always preserve my faithful love for him,

and my covenant with him will endure.

I will establish his line forever,

his throne as long as heaven lasts.

NLTNew Living Translation

Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people.

You said, “I have raised up a warrior.

I have selected him from the common people to be king.

I have found my servant David.

I have anointed him with my holy oil.

I will steady him with my hand;

with my powerful arm I will make him strong.

His enemies will not defeat him,

nor will the wicked overpower him.

I will beat down his adversaries before him

and destroy those who hate him.

My faithfulness and unfailing love will be with him,

and by my authority he will grow in power.

I will extend his rule over the sea,

his dominion over the rivers.

And he will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,

my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’

I will make him my firstborn son,

the mightiest king on earth.

I will love him and be kind to him forever;

my covenant with him will never end.

I will preserve an heir for him;

his throne will be as endless as the days of heaven.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Formerly you spoke in a vision

to your faithful ones, and said,

“I have bestowed help on a mighty man;

I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found David, my servant.

With my holy oil I have anointed him,

with whom my hand will be steadfast.

Surely my arm will strengthen him.

The enemy will not deceive him,

and no evil man will afflict him.

But I will crush his adversaries before him,

and I will strike those who hate him.

And so my faithfulness

and my loyal love will be with him,

and in my name his horn will rise up.

And I will set his hand on the sea

and his right hand on the rivers.

He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,

my God, and the rock of my salvation.’

I will also make him the firstborn,

the highest of the kings of the earth.

Forever I will keep my loyal love for him,

and my covenant will be reliable for him.

I will also establish his offspring forever,

and his throne as the days of the heavens.
