Psalm 89:19-37

New International Version

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^(A) my servant;^(B)
    with my sacred oil^(C) I have anointed^(D) him.
²¹ My hand will sustain him;
    surely my arm will strengthen him.^(E)
22 The enemy will not get the better of him;^(F)
    the wicked will not oppress^(G) him.
²³ I will crush his foes before him^(H)
    and strike down his adversaries.^(I)
24 My faithful love will be with him,^(J)
    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.^(K)
26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,^(L)
    my God, the Rock^(M) my Savior.’^(N)
27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,^(O)
    the most exalted^(P) of the kings^(Q) of the earth.
²⁸ I will maintain my love to him forever,
    and my covenant with him will never fail.^(R)
29 I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.^(S)

³⁰ “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
³¹ if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
³² I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;^(T)
33 but I will not take my love from him,^(U)
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
³⁴ I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.^(V)
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
³⁶ that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;^(W)
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.”^(X)
