Psalms 89:20-37

20I have 1foundH4672 DavidH1732 My servantH5650; With My holyH6944 2oilH8081 I have anointedH4886 him,21With whomH834 3My handH3027 will be establishedH3559; My armH2220 alsoH637 will 4strengthenH553 him.22The enemyH340 will not 5deceiveH5378 him, NorH3808 the 67sonH1121 of wickednessH5767 afflictH6031 him.23But I shall 8crushH3807 his adversariesH6862 beforeH4480H6440 him, And strikeH5062 those who hateH8130 him.24My 9faithfulnessH530 and My lovingkindnessH2617 will be with him, And in My nameH8034 his 10hornH7161 will be exaltedH7311.25I shall also setH7760 his handH3027 11on the seaH3220 And his rightH3225 handH3225 on the riversH5104.26He will cryH7121 to Me, ‘You are 12my FatherH1, My GodH410, and the 13rockH6697 of my salvationH3444.’27I alsoH637 shall makeH5414 him My 14firstbornH1060, The 15highestH5945 of the kingsH4428 of the earthH776.28My 16lovingkindnessH2617 I will keepH8104 for him foreverH5769, And My 17covenantH1285 shall be confirmedH539 to him.29So I will establishH7760 his 1819descendantsH2233 foreverH5703 And his 20throneH3678 21as the daysH3117 of heavenH8064.

30“IfH518 his sonsH1121 22forsakeH5800 My lawH8451 And do not walkH1980 in My judgmentsH4941,31IfH518 they 23violateH2490 My statutesH2708 And do not keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687,32Then I will punishH6485 their transgressionH6588 with the 24rodH7626 And their iniquityH5771 with stripesH5061.33But I will not breakH6565 off 25My lovingkindnessH2617 from him, NorH3808 dealH8266 falselyH8266 in My faithfulnessH530.34My 26covenantH1285 I will not 27violateH2490, NorH3808 will I 28alterH8132 29the utteranceH4161 of My lipsH8193.3530OnceH259 I have 31swornH7650 by My holinessH6944; I will not lieH3576 to DavidH1732.36His 3233descendantsH2233 shall endureH1961 foreverH5769 And his 34throneH3678 35as the sunH8121 beforeH5048 Me.37It shall be establishedH3559 foreverH5769 36like the moonH3394, And the 37witnessH5707 in the skyH7834 is faithfulH539.” 38SelahH5542.
