Psalm 89:19–37

¹⁹Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

²⁰I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

²¹With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

²²An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

²³And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

²⁴And My faithfulness and kindness are with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

²⁵And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

²⁶He proclaimeth me: ‘Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

²⁷I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

²⁸To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant is stedfast with him.

²⁹And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

³⁰If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

³¹If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

³²I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

³³And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

³⁴I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

³⁵Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

³⁶His seed is to the age, And his throne is as the sun before Me,

³⁷As the moon it is established—to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah.
