Psalms 89:19-35
-
19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
-
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
-
21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
-
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
-
23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
-
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
-
25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
-
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
-
27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
-
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
-
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
-
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
-
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
-
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
-
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
-
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
-
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
