Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ ^(88:19) Then thou spokest in vision to thy children, and saidst, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people. ²⁰ ^(88:20) I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy mercy. ²¹ ^(88:21) For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him. ²² ^(88:22) The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again. ²³ ^(88:23) And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him. ²⁴ ^(88:24) But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted. ²⁵ ^(88:25) And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. ²⁶ ^(88:26) He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation. ²⁷ ^(88:27) And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. ²⁸ ^(88:28) I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant shall be firm with him. ²⁹ ^(88:29) And I will establish his seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. ³⁰ ^(88:30) If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; ³¹ ^(88:31) if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments; ³² ^(88:32) I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges. ³³ ^(88:33) But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth. ³⁴ ^(88:34) Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips. ³⁵ ^(88:35) Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David. ³⁶ ^(88:36) His see shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me; ³⁷ ^(88:37) and as the moon that is established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven.
