18. Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19. Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: “I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people.
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 him and 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 Savior.’
27. And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
