Psalm 89:19–37

^19qThen thou spakest in vision to ^rthy holy one,

And saidst, I have ^slaid help upon one that is ^tmighty;

I have exalted one ^uchosen out of the people.

^20xI have found David my servant;

^yWith my holy oil have I anointed him:

^21zWith whom my hand shall be established:

Mine arm also shall ^zstrengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not exact upon him;

Nor ^athe son of wickedness afflict him.

²³And I will ^bbeat down his foes before his face,

And plague them that hate him.

²⁴But ^cmy faithfulness and ^cmy mercy shall be with him:

And in my name ^dshall his horn be exalted.

²⁵I will set his hand also in ^ethe sea,

And his right hand in ^ethe rivers.

²⁶He shall cry unto me, Thou art ^fmy father,

My God, and ^gthe rock of my salvation.

²⁷Also I will make him ^hmy firstborn,

ⁱHigher than the kings of the earth.

^28kMy mercy will I keep for him for evermore,

And ^lmy covenant shall stand fast with him.

^29mHis seed also will I make to endure for ever,

And ⁿhis throne ^oas the days of heaven.

^30pIf his children ^qforsake my law,

And walk not in my judgments;

³¹If they ^†break my statutes,

And keep not my commandments;

³²Then will I ^rvisit their transgression with ^sthe rod,

And their iniquity with ^sstripes.

³³Nevertheless ^cmy lovingkindness ^†will I not utterly take from him,

Nor suffer ^cmy faithfulness ^†to fail.

^34lMy covenant will I not ^tbreak,

Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

³⁵Once have I ^usworn ^vby my holiness

^†That I will not lie unto David.

^36mHis seed shall endure for ever,

And ⁿhis throne ^xas the sun before me.

³⁷It shall be established for ever as ^xthe moon,

And as a faithful ^ywitness in heaven. Selah.
