¹⁹ Once you spoke in a vision,
    to your faithful people you said:
‘I have bestowed strength on a warrior;
    I have raised up a young man from among the people.
²⁰ I have found David my servant;
    with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
²¹ My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.
²² The enemy will not get the better of him;
    the wicked will not oppress him.
²³ I will crush his foes before him
    and strike down his adversaries.
²⁴ My faithful love will be with him,
    and through my name his horn^[a] will be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand over the sea,
    his right hand over the rivers.
²⁶ He will call out to me, “You are my Father,
    my God, the Rock my Saviour.”
²⁷ And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,
    the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
