17. For thou art the glory of their strength, and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18. For the Lord is our shield, and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19. Then thou didst speak in vision to thy holy one and didst say, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of my people.
20. I have found David my slave; I anointed him with the oil of my holiness,
21. with whom my hand shall be established; mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22. The enemy shall not overcome him, nor the son of iniquity break him down.
23. But I will break down his foes before his face and smite those that hate him.
