21 My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.(A)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;(B)
    the wicked will not oppress(C) him.
23 I will crush his foes before him(D)
    and strike down his adversaries.(E)
24 My faithful love will be with him,(F)
    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.(G)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,(H)
    my God, the Rock(I) my Savior.’(J)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,(K)
    the most exalted(L) of the kings(M) of the earth.
28 I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.(N)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 89:24 Horn here symbolizes strength.

21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
