3  You have said, “I have made ^ma covenant with my ⁿchosen one;

I have ^osworn to David my servant:

4  ‘I will establish your ^poffspring forever,

and build your ^qthrone for all generations.’” Selah

20  ^yI have found David, my servant;

with my holy oil I have ^zanointed him,

21  so that my ^ahand shall be established with him;

my arm also shall strengthen him.

22  The enemy shall not outwit him;

^bthe wicked shall not humble him.

23  I will ^ccrush his foes before him

and strike down those who hate him.

24  My ^dfaithfulness and my ^dsteadfast love shall be with him,

and in my name shall his ^ehorn be exalted.

25  I will set his hand on ^fthe sea

and his right hand on ^fthe rivers.

26  He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^gFather,

my God, and ^hthe Rock of my salvation.’

27  And I will make him the ⁱfirstborn,

^jthe highest of the kings of the earth.

28  My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

and my ^kcovenant will stand firm¹ for him.

29  I will establish his ^loffspring forever

and his ^lthrone as ^mthe days of the heavens.
