Psalm 89:19-27

Good News Translation

¹⁹ In a vision long ago you said to your faithful servants,
    “I have given help to a famous soldier;
    I have given the throne to one I chose from the people.
^20 (A)I have made my servant David king
    by anointing him with holy oil.
²¹ My strength will always be with him,
    my power will make him strong.
²² His enemies will never succeed against him;
    the wicked will not defeat him.
²³ I will crush his foes
    and kill everyone who hates him.
²⁴ I will love him and be loyal to him;
    I will make him always victorious.
²⁵ I will extend his kingdom
    from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates River.
²⁶ He will say to me,
    ‘You are my father and my God;
    you are my protector and savior.’
^27 (B)I will make him my first-born son,
    the greatest of all kings.
