Psalms 89:19-37

19Then you spoke through a vision to your faithful followers and said: “I have energized a warrior; I have raised up a young man from the people.

20I have discovered David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.

21My hand will support him, and my arm will strengthen him.

22No enemy will be able to exact tribute from him; a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him.

23I will crush his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.

24He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, and by my name he will win victories.

25I will place his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

26He will call out to me, ‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’

27I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, the most exalted of the earth’s kings.

28I will always extend my loyal love to him, and my covenant with him is secure.

29I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.

30If his sons reject my law and disobey my regulations,

31if they break my rules and do not keep my commandments,

32I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club, their sin by inflicting them with bruises.

33But I will not remove my loyal love from him, nor be unfaithful to my promise.

34I will not break my covenant or go back on what I promised.

35Once and for all I have vowed by my own holiness, I will never deceive David.

36His dynasty will last forever. His throne will endure before me, like the sun,

37it will remain stable, like the moon, his throne will endure like the skies.” (Selah)
