19 At that time thou didst speak in vision to thy children and say, "I have laid help on one who is Mighty: I have exalted a chosen one of my people;
20 I have found David my servant; I have anointed him with holy oil.
21 My hand will indeed support him. And him mine arm will strengthen.
22 Over him an enemy shall not gain advantage; nor shall a son of wickedness any more afflict him.
23 For before him I will hew down his enemies: and them who hate him I will put to flight.
24 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and by my name his horn shall be exalted.
25 And I will put his hand on the sea; and his right hand on the rivers:
26 and he will invoke me saying, Thou art my father; my God and the support of my salvation;
27 and I will set him as a first born; high above all the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy I will keep for him evermore. And my covenant with him shall be firm.
29 And I will establish his seed forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and do not walk in my judgments;
31 If they profane my statutes; and do not keep my commandments:
32 I will visit their transgressions with a rod; and their iniquities with scourges.
33 But from him I will not withdraw my mercy; nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 I will not violate my covenant; nor annul what have passed my lips.
35 Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; that I will not be false to David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me;
37 and as the moon forever fixed: and the witness in heaven is faithful."
