“I have ^sgranted help to one who is ^tmighty;

20 ^vI have found David, my servant;
with my holy oil I have ^wanointed him,
21 so that my ^xhand shall be established with him;
my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not outwit him;
^ythe wicked shall not humble him.
23 I will ^zcrush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
24 My ^aafaithfulness and my ^absteadfast love shall be with him,
and in my name shall his ^achorn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand on ^adthe sea
and his right hand on ^aethe rivers.
26 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^afFather,
my God, and ^agthe Rock of my salvation.’
27 And I will make him the ^ahfirstborn,
^aithe highest of the kings of the earth.
28 My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,
and my ^ajcovenant will stand firm ^{▼▼Or will remain faithful} for him.
29 I will establish his ^aloffspring forever
and his ^amthrone as ^anthe days of the heavens.
30 ^aoIf his children forsake my law
and do not walk according to my rules, ^{▼▼Or my just decrees}
31 if they violate my statutes
and do not keep my commandments,
32 then I will punish their transgression with ^aqthe rod
and their iniquity with stripes,
33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
or be false to my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my ^arcovenant
or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
35 Once for all I have sworn ^asby my holiness;
I will not ^atlie to David.
36 His ^auoffspring shall endure forever,
^avhis ^awthrone as long as ^axthe sun before me.
37 Like ^aythe moon it shall be established forever,
^aza faithful witness in the skies.” Selah
