JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
20 (89:21) I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him;
21 (89:22) With whom My hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 (89:23) The enemy shall not exact from him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 (89:24) And I will beat to pieces his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him.
24 (89:25) But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him; and through My name shall his horn be exalted.
25 (89:26) I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 (89:27) He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 (89:28) I also will appoint him first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (89:29) For ever will I keep for him My mercy, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 (89:30) His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 (89:31) If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;
31 (89:32) If they profane My statutes, and keep not My commandments;
32 (89:33) Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.
33 (89:34) But My mercy will I not break off from him, nor will I be false to My faithfulness.
34 (89:35) My covenant will I not profane, nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.
35 (89:36) Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;
36 (89:37) His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
37 (89:38) It shall be established for ever as the moon; and be stedfast as the witness in sky.' Selah
