19 You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal ones
and said: “I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen[a] from the people.(A)
20 I have found David My servant;
I have anointed him with My sacred oil.(B)
21 My hand will always be with him,
and My arm will strengthen him.(C)
22 The enemy will not afflict[b] him;
no wicked man will oppress him.(D)
23 I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.(E)
24 My faithfulness and love will be with him,
and through My name
his horn will be exalted.(F)
25 I will extend his power to the sea
and his right hand to the rivers.(G)
26 He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father,(H)
my God, the rock of my salvation.’(I)
27 I will also make him My firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.(J)
28 I will always preserve My faithful love for him,
and My covenant with him will endure.(K)
29 I will establish his line forever,
his throne as long as heaven lasts.[c](L)
