I have found David my servant;
with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
21
My hand will sustain him;
surely my arm will strengthen him.
22
No enemy will subject him to tribute;
no wicked man will oppress him.
23
I will crush his foes before him
and strike down his adversaries.
24
My faithful love will be with him,
and through my name his horn will be exalted.
25
I will set his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the rivers.
26
He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,
my God, the Rock my Savior.’
27
I will also appoint him my firstborn,
the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
28
I will maintain my love to him forever,
and my covenant with him will never fail.
