Psalms 89:20-37

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

30“If his sons 22abandon My Law And do not walk in My judgments,31If they 23violate My statutes And do not keep My commandments,32Then I will punish their wrongdoing with the 24rod, And their guilt with 25afflictions.33But I will not 26withhold 27My favor from him, Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.34I will not 28violate My 29covenant, Nor will I 30alter 31the utterance of My lips.35 32Once I have 33sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David.36His 34 35descendants shall endure forever, And his 36throne 37as the sun before Me.37It shall be established forever 38like the moon, And a 39witness in the sky is faithful.” Selah
