Psalm 89:19-37

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁹ You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones
and said, ‘I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen^[a] from the people.^(A)
20 I have found David my servant;
I have anointed him with my sacred oil.^(B)
21 My hand will always be with him,
and my arm will strengthen him.^(C)
22 The enemy will not oppress^[b] him;
the wicked will not afflict him.^(D)
23 I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.^(E)
24 My faithfulness and love will be with him,
and through my name
his horn will be exalted.^(F)
25 I will extend his power to the sea
and his right hand to the rivers.^(G)
26 He will call to me, “You are my Father,^(H)
my God, the rock of my salvation.”^(I)
27 I will also make him my firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.^(J)
28 I will always preserve my faithful love for him,
and my covenant with him will endure.^(K)
29 I will establish his line for ever,
his throne as long as heaven lasts.^[c](L)
30 If his sons abandon my instruction
and do not live by my ordinances,^(M)
31 if they dishonour my statutes
and do not keep my commands,^(N)
32 then I will call their rebellion
to account with the rod,
their iniquity with blows.^(O)
33 But I will not withdraw
my faithful love from him
or betray my faithfulness.^(P)
34 I will not violate my covenant
or change what my lips have said.^(Q)
35 Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by my holiness;
I will not lie to David.^(R)
36 His offspring will continue for ever,
his throne like the sun before me,^(S)
37 like the moon, established for ever,
a faithful witness in the sky.’^(T) Selah
