⁸¹ My soul languishes for your salvation;
    I hope in your word.^(A)

⁴⁹ Remember your word to your servant,
    in which you have made me hope.

¹⁹ Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one and said,
    “I have set the crown^[a] on one who is mighty;
    I have exalted one chosen from the people.^(A)
20 I have found my servant David;
    with my holy oil I have anointed him;^(B)
21 my hand shall always remain with him;
    my arm also shall strengthen him.
²² The enemy shall not outwit him;
    the wicked shall not humble him.^(C)
23 I will crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.^(D)
24 My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name his horn shall be exalted.^(E)
25 I will set his hand on the sea
    and his right hand on the rivers.
²⁶ He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father,
    my God, and the Rock of my salvation!’^(F)
27 I will make him the firstborn,
    the highest of the kings of the earth.^(G)
28 Forever I will keep my steadfast love for him,
    and my covenant with him will stand firm.^(H)
29 I will establish his line forever
    and his throne as long as the heavens endure.^(I)
30 If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my ordinances,^(J)
31 if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³² then I will punish their transgression with the rod
    and their iniquity with scourges,^(K)
33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
    or be false to my faithfulness.^(L)
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.^(M)
35 Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness;
    I will not lie to David.^(N)
36 His line shall continue forever,
    and his throne endure before me like the sun.^(O)
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
    an enduring witness in the skies.” Selah
