20. I have found David my servant;with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
21. My hand will sustain him;surely my arm will strengthen him.
22. The enemy will not get the better of him;the wicked will not oppress him.
23. I will crush his foes before himand strike down his adversaries.
24. My faithful love will be with him,and through my name his horn will be exalted.
25. I will set his hand over the sea,his right hand over the rivers.
26. He will call out to me, “You are my Father,my God, the Rock my Saviour.”
27. And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28. I will maintain my love to him for ever,and my covenant with him will never fail.
