17 For You are the glory of their strength,
And in Your favor our [a]horn is (A)exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

19 Then You spoke in a vision to Your [b]holy one,
And said: “I have given help to one who is mighty;
I have exalted one (B)chosen from the people.
20 (C)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 (D)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [c]outwit him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 I will beat down his foes before his face,
And plague those who hate him.

24 “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
25 Also I will (E)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are (F)my Father,
My God, and (G)the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him (H)My firstborn,
(I)The highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (J)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
