New American Standard Bible 1995

Psalms 89:19-37

19 1Once You spoke in vision to Your godly 2ones, And said, “I have 3given help to one who is 4mighty; I have exalted one 5chosen from the people.20I have 6found David My servant; With My holy 7oil I have anointed him,21With whom 8My hand will be established; My arm also will 9strengthen him.22The enemy will not 10deceive him, Nor the 11 12son of wickedness afflict him.23But I shall 13crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.24My 14faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his 15horn will be exalted.25I shall also set his hand 16on the sea And his right hand on the rivers.26He will cry to Me, ‘You are 17my Father, My God, and the 18rock of my salvation.’27I also shall make him My 19firstborn, The 20highest of the kings of the earth.28My 21lovingkindness I will keep for him forever, And My 22covenant shall be confirmed to him.29So I will establish his 23 24descendants forever And his 25throne 26as the days of heaven.

30“If his sons 27forsake My law And do not walk in My judgments,31If they 28violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,32Then I will punish their transgression with the 29rod And their iniquity with stripes.33But I will not break off 30My lovingkindness from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.34My 31covenant I will not 32violate, Nor will I 33alter 34the utterance of My lips.35 35Once I have 36sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.36His 37 38descendants shall endure forever And his 39throne 40as the sun before Me.37It shall be established forever 41like the moon, And the 42witness in the sky is faithful.” 43Selah.
