20. I have found David, my servant.I have anointed him with my holy oil,
21. with whom my hand shall be established.My arm will also strengthen him.
22. No enemy will tax him.No wicked man will oppress him.
23. I will beat down his adversaries before him,and strike those who hate him.
24. But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25. I will set his hand also on the sea,and his right hand on the rivers.
26. He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,my God, and the rock of my salvation!’
27. I will also appoint him my firstborn,the highest of the kings of the earth.
28. I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more.My covenant will stand firm with him.
29. I will also make his offspring endure forever,and his throne as the days of heaven.
30. If his children forsake my Torah,and don’t walk in my ordinances;
31. if they break my statutes,and don’t keep my commandments;
32. then I will punish their sin with the rod,and their iniquity with stripes.
33. But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34. I will not break my covenant,nor alter what my lips have uttered.
35. Once I have sworn by my holiness,I will not lie to David.
36. His offspring will endure forever,his throne like the sun before me.
37. It will be established forever like the moon,the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah.
