15. Blessed are the people who know the joyful shout.They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your presence.
16. In Your name they rejoice all the day,and in Your righteousness they shall be exalted.
17. For You are the beauty of their strength;by Your favor our horn is exalted.
18. For the Lord is our shield of defense,and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19. Long ago You spoke in a visionto Your godly one and said:“I have given help to one who is mighty;I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20. I have found David, My servant;with My holy oil I have anointed him:
21. By whom My hand shall be established;My arm also shall strengthen him.
22. The enemy shall not take tribute from him,nor the wicked humiliate him.
23. I will beat down his foes before himand strike down those who hate him.
24. My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,and in My name his horn shall be exalted.
