LEB(i)
19 Formerly you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones, and said, "I have bestowed help on a mighty man; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 I have found David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him,
21 with whom my hand will be steadfast. Surely my arm will strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not deceive him, and no ⌊evil man⌋* will afflict him.
23 But I will crush his adversaries before him, and I will strike those who hate him.
24 And so my faithfulness and my loyal love will be with him, and in my name his horn will rise up.
25 And I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'
27 I will also make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Forever I will keep my loyal love for him, and my covenant will be reliable for him.
29 I will also establish his offspring forever, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
30 If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,
31 if they defile* my statutes and do not keep my commandments,
32 then I will punish their transgression with a rod, and their guilt with wounds.
33 But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.
34 I will not defile* my covenant, or alter what proceeded from my lips.
35 Once* I have sworn by my holiness, 'I will surely not lie to David,
36 His offspring will endure* forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
