Psalm 89:20–37

^20qI have found My servant David;

With My holy oil I have anointed him,

^21rWith whom My hand shall be established;

Also My arm shall strengthen him.

²²The enemy shall not ⁵outwit him,

Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

²³I will beat down his foes before his face,

And plague those who hate him.

²⁴“But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,

And in My name his horn shall be exalted.

²⁵Also I will ^sset his hand over the sea,

And his right hand over the rivers.

²⁶He shall cry to Me, ‘You are ^tmy Father,

My God, and ^uthe rock of my salvation.’

²⁷Also I will make him ^vMy firstborn,

^wThe highest of the kings of the earth.

^28xMy mercy I will keep for him forever,

And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

²⁹His seed also I will make to endure forever,

^yAnd his throne ^zas the days of heaven.

³⁰“If ^ahis sons ^bforsake My law

And do not walk in My judgments,

³¹If they ⁶break My statutes

And do not keep My commandments,

³²Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,

And their iniquity with stripes.

^33cNevertheless My lovingkindness I will not ⁷utterly take from him,

Nor ⁸allow My faithfulness to fail.

³⁴My covenant I will not break,

Nor ^dalter the word that has gone out of My lips.

³⁵Once I have sworn ^eby My holiness;

I will not lie to David:

^36fHis seed shall endure forever,

And his throne ^gas the sun before Me;

³⁷It shall be established forever like the moon,

Even like the faithful witness in the sky.”
