Psalm 89:19-37

English Standard Version

¹⁹^(A)Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,^[a] and said:
    “I have ^(B)granted help to one who is ^(C)mighty;
    I have exalted one ^(D)chosen from the people.
²⁰^(E)I have found David, my servant;
    with my holy oil I have ^(F)anointed him,
²¹so that my ^(G)hand shall be established with him;
    my arm also shall strengthen him.
²²The enemy shall not outwit him;
    ^(H)the wicked shall not humble him.
²³I will ^(I)crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.
²⁴My ^(J)faithfulness and my ^(K)steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name shall his ^(L)horn be exalted.
²⁵I will set his hand on ^(M)the sea
    and his right hand on ^(N)the rivers.
²⁶He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^(O)Father,
    my God, and ^(P)the Rock of my salvation.’
²⁷And I will make him the ^(Q)firstborn,
    ^(R)the highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,
    and my ^(S)covenant will stand firm^[b] for him.
²⁹I will establish his ^(T)offspring forever
    and his ^(U)throne as ^(V)the days of the heavens.
³⁰^(W)If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my rules,^[c]
³¹if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³²then I will punish their transgression with ^(X)the rod
    and their iniquity with stripes,
³³but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
    or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁴I will not violate my ^(Y)covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
³⁵Once for all I have sworn ^(Z)by my holiness;
    I will not ^(AA)lie to David.
³⁶His ^(AB)offspring shall endure forever,
    ^(AC)his ^(AD)throne as long as ^(AE)the sun before me.
³⁷Like ^(AF)the moon it shall be established forever,
    ^(AG)a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah
