- Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: "I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have exalted a young man from among the people.
- I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
- My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.
- No enemy will subject him to tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.
- I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries.
|
- My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.
- I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.
- He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.'
- I will also appoint him my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.
- I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.
|
- I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.
