¹⁹ Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
“I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
²⁰ I have found David^(A) my servant;^(B)
    with my sacred oil^(C) I have anointed^(D) him.
²¹ My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.^(E)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;^(F)
    the wicked will not oppress^(G) him.
²³ I will crush his foes before him^(H)
    and strike down his adversaries.^(I)
24 My faithful love will be with him,^(J)
    and through my name his horn^[a] will be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.^(K)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,^(L)
    my God, the Rock^(M) my Savior.’^(N)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,^(O)
    the most exalted^(P) of the kings^(Q) of the earth.

He said to me, “You are my son;^(A)
    today I have become your father.^(B)

³ Your troops will be willing
    on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,^(A)
    your young men will come to you
    like dew from the morning’s womb.^[a](B)
