1 Now these are the last words of David:

with my holy oil I have ^oanointed him,
21 so that my ^phand shall be established with him;
my arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not outwit him;
^qthe wicked shall not humble him.
23 I will ^rcrush his foes before him
and strike down those who hate him.
24 My ^sfaithfulness and my ^tsteadfast love shall be with him,
and in my name shall his ^uhorn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand on ^vthe sea
and his right hand on ^wthe rivers.
26 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^xFather,
my God, and ^ythe Rock of my salvation.’
27 And I will make him the ^zfirstborn,
^aathe highest of the kings of the earth.

and my ^abcovenant will stand firm ^{▼▼Or will remain faithful} for him.
