17. and in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted.
18. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
19. For our protection is of the Lord, and of our king the holy one of Israel.
20. Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
21. I have found David my servant: with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22. For my hand shall help him: and my arm shall strengthen him.
23. The enemy shall have no advantage over him: nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
24. And I will cut down his enemies before his face; and them that hate him I will put to flight.
25. And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
26. And I will set his hand in the sea; and his right hand in the rivers.
27. He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: my God, and the support of my salvation.
28. And I will make him my firstborn, high above the kings of the earth.
29. I will keep my mercy for him for ever: and my covenant faithful to him.
