20. I have found my servant David;I appointed him by pouring holy oil on him.
21. I will steady him with my handand strengthen him with my arm.
22. No enemy will make him give forced payments,and wicked people will not defeat him.
23. I will crush his enemies in front of him;I will defeat those who hate him.
24. My loyalty and love will be with him.Through me he will be strong.
25. I will give him power over the seaand control over the rivers.
26. He will say to me, ‘You are my father,my God, the Rock, my Savior.’
27. I will make him my firstborn son,the greatest king on earth.
28. My love will watch over him forever,and my agreement with him will never end.
29. I will make his family continue,and his kingdom will last as long as the skies.
