20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.
21 My hand shall hold him fast, and mine arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not overcome him, and the son of wickedness shall not hurt him.
23 I shall smite down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 My truth also and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 I will set his hand in the sea, and his righthand in the floods.
26 He shall call me, "Thou art my father, my God, and the strength of my salvation.'
27 And I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 But if his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments,
31 if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments,
32 I will visit their offenses with the rod, and their sins with scourges.
33 Nevertheless, my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my truth to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor disannull the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 I have sworn once by my holiness, that I will not fail David.
36 His seed shall endure forever, and his throne is like as the sun before me.
37 He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon, and as the faithful witness in heaven." Selah.
38 But thou hast abhorred and forsaken thine annointed, and art displeased at him.
39 Thou hast broken the covenant of thy servant, and cast his crown to the ground.
40 Thou hast overthrown all his hedges, and broken down his strongholds.
41 All they that go by, spoil him; he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Thou hast set up the righthand of his enemies, and made all his adversaries to rejoice.
43 Thou hast taken away the strength of his sword, and givest him not victory in the battle.
44 Thou hast put out his glory, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened, and covered him with dishonour. Selah.
46 LORD, how long wilt thou hide thyself? Forever? And shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 O remember how short my time is; hast thou made all men for nought?
48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? May a man deliver his own soul from the hand of hell? Selah.
49 LORD, where are thy old loving-kindnesses, which thou sworest unto David in thy truth?
50 Remember, LORD, the rebuke that the multitude of the people do unto thy servants, and how I have borne it in my bosom;
51 wherewith thine have blasphemed thee, and slandered the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Thanks be to the LORD for evermore. Amen, Amen.
