20 (A)I have found My servant David;
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 (B)With whom My hand shall be established;
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not [a]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 (C)set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ‘You are (D)my Father,
My God, and (E)the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him (F)My firstborn,
(G)The highest of the kings of the earth.
28 (H)My mercy I will keep for him forever,
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.

  1. Psalm 89:22 Or exact usury from him

20 I have found David, my servant.
With my holy oil I have anointed him,
21 with whom my hand will be steadfast.
Surely my arm will strengthen him.
22 The enemy will not deceive him,
and no evil man[a] will afflict him.
23 But I will crush his adversaries before him,
and I will strike those who hate him.
24 And so my faithfulness
and my loyal love will be with him,
and in my name his horn will rise up.
25 And I will set his hand on the sea
and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, and the rock of my salvation.’
27 I will also make him the firstborn,
the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 Forever I will keep my loyal love for him,
and my covenant will be reliable for him.
