Psalms 89:20-37

20I have found David, my servant. I have poured my special oil on him, to make him king.

21I will help him with my power, so that he is strong.

22No enemy will win against him. No cruel people will have power to hurt him.

23I will destroy his enemies in front of him I will kill those who hate him.

24I will always be faithful and show him my faithful love. By my name he will win against his enemies.

25I will cause his kingdom to reach beyond the sea and the rivers.

26The king will say to me, “You are my Father. You are my God. You protect me and you rescue me.”

27Also, I will make him my firstborn son. He will be the greatest of the kings of the earth.

28I will always love him with my faithful love. I will never change the covenant that I have made with him.

29Someone from his family will always be king. They will rule for ever, as long as there are skies above us.

30But I will punish his descendants, if they do not accept my laws. If they do not obey my teaching, my rules, or my commands,

32I will punish them. Because of their sins, I will give them much pain.

33But I will not take my faithful love away from David. I will always be faithful, and I will do what I have promised to him.

34I will not spoil the covenant that I have made with him. I will always keep my promises.

35I made that promise to David at one time, and that will not change. I promised him by my holy name and I will never deceive him.

36His descendants will always rule. His kingdom will continue to be there for ever, as long as the sun shines.

37As the moon is always there in the sky, to show that God is faithful, David's kingdom will also continue.’ Selah.
