Psalms 89:19-37

Psalms 89:19-37

[19] Then thou spakest  in vision  to thy holy one,  and saidst,  I have laid  help  upon one that is mighty;  I have exalted  out of the people.  [20] I have found  David  my servant;  with my holy  oil  have I anointed  [21] With whom my hand  shall be established:  mine arm  also shall strengthen  [22] The enemy  shall not exact  upon him; nor the son  of wickedness  afflict  him. [23] And I will beat down  his foes  before his face,  and plague  them that hate  [24] But my faithfulness  and my mercy  shall be with him: and in my name  shall his horn  be exalted.  [25] I will set  his hand  also in the sea,  and his right hand  in the rivers.  [26] He shall cry  unto me, Thou art my father,  my God,  and the rock  of my salvation.  [27] Also 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 for ever,  and his throne  as the days  of heaven.  [30] If his children  forsake  my law,  not in my judgments;  [31] If they break  my statutes,  and keep  not my commandments;  [32] Then will I visit  their transgression  with the rod,  and their iniquity  with stripes.  [33] Nevertheless my lovingkindness  will I not utterly take  from him, nor suffer my faithfulness  to fail.  [34] My covenant  will I not break,  nor alter  the thing that is gone out  of my lips.  [35] Once  have I sworn  by my holiness  that I will not lie  unto David.  [36] His seed  shall endure for ever,  and his throne  as the sun  [37] It shall be established  for ever  as the moon,  and as a faithful  witness  in heaven.  Selah.
