NSB(i)
19 Once you spoke in vision to your godly ones. You said: »I have given help to one who is mighty. I have exalted one chosen from the people.«
20 I have found David my servant. I anointed him with my holy oil.
21 With him my hand will be established; my arm also will strengthen him.
22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him. I will strike those who hate him.
24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn (power) (strength) will be exalted (increased).
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 He will call to me: »You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!«
27 I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forevermore. My covenant will stand firm with him.
29 I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne like the days of heaven.
30 If his descendants abandon my law and do not live by my rules,
31 if they violate my statutes and do not obey my commandments,
32 then with a rod I will punish their transgression and their crimes with beatings.
33 But I will not take my loving kindness away from him or allow my truth to become perverted.
34 I will not dishonor my promise or alter my own agreement.
35 On my holiness I have taken an oath: I will not lie to David.
36 His descendants will last forever. His throne will be in my presence like the sun.
37 It shall be established forever like the moon. It will be like a faithful witness in heaven.
