ACV(i)
19 Then thou spoke in a vision to thy sanctified, and said, I have laid help upon a mighty man. I have exalted a chosen man out of the people.
20 I have found David my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him,
21 with whom my hand shall be established. My arm also shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, and smite those who hate him,
24 but my faithfulness and my loving kindness shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will also set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He shall cry to me, Thou are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
27 I also will make him firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him for evermore. And my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 I will also make his seed to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances,
31 if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments,
32 then I will visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes,
33 but my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34 I will not break my covenant, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 I have sworn once by my holiness; I will not lie to David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established forever as the moon, and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah.
