I have found David, my servant. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
21
With whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
22
No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
23
I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.
24
But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
25
I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers.
26
He will call to me, `You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!`
27
I will also appoint him my firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.
28
I will keep my lovingkindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.
