18. You are their majestic strength;by your favor our horn is exalted.
19. Truly the Lord is our shield,the Holy One of Israel, our king!
20. Then you spoke in vision;to your faithful ones you said:“I have set a leader over the warriors;I have raised up a chosen one from the people.
21. I have chosen David, my servant;with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22. My hand will be with him;my arm will make him strong.
23. No enemy shall outwit him,nor shall the wicked defeat him.
24. I will crush his foes before him,strike down those who hate him.
25. My faithfulness and mercy will be with him;through my name his horn will be exalted.
26. I will set his hand upon the sea,his right hand upon the rivers.
27. He shall cry to me, ‘You are my father,my God, the Rock of my salvation!’
