Psalms 89:19-37

19Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel]; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

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

21With whom My hand shall be established and steadfast; My arm also shall strengthen him.

22The enemy will not outwit him, Nor will the wicked man afflict or humiliate him.

23I will crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and My steadfast lovingkindness shall be with him, And in My name shall his horn be exalted [great power and prosperity shall be conferred upon him].

25I will also set his hand on the [Mediterranean] sea, And his right hand on the rivers [the tributaries of the Euphrates].

26He will cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’

27I will also make him My firstborn (preeminent), The highest of the kings of the earth.

28My lovingkindness I will keep for him forevermore, And My covenant will be confirmed to him.

29His descendants I will establish forever, And his throne [will endure] as the days of heaven.

30“If his children turn away from My law And do not walk in My ordinances,

31If they break My statutes And do not keep My commandments,

32Then I will punish their transgression with the rod [of discipline], And [correct] their wickedness with stripes.

33Nevertheless, I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.

34My covenant I will not violate, Nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.

35Once [for all] I have sworn by My holiness, [My vow which cannot be violated]; I will not lie to David.

36His descendants shall endure forever And his throne [will continue] as the sun before Me.

37It shall be established forever like the moon, And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful.” Selah.
