MLV(i)
19 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones and said, I have laid help upon a mighty man. I have exalted a chosen man out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil, 21 with whom my hand will be established. My arm also will strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him and kill* those who hate him, 24 but my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him and in my name will his horn be exalted.
25 I will also set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will cry to me, You are my Father, my God and the rock of my salvation. 27 I also will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him everlasting. And my covenant will stand fast with him. 29 I will also make his seed to endure forever and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my ordinances, 31 if they break my statutes and do not keep my commandments, 32 then I will visit their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, 33 but my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34 I will not break my covenant, nor alter the thing that has gone out of my lips.
35 I have sworn once by my holiness; I will not lie to David. 36 His seed will endure everlasting and his throne as the sun before me. 37 It will be established everlasting as the moon and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah.
