ERV(i)
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 With whom my hand shall be established; mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 I also will make him [my] firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 But my mercy will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness; I will not lie unto David;
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
