2Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

3I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise to David, my servant.

19You spoke to your faithful ones through a vision: "I will set a helper over a warrior. I will raise up a chosen one from the people.

19Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful people. You said, “I have raised up a warrior. I have selected him from the common people to be king.

20I have found my servant David; I have anointed him with my sacred oil,

22No enemy will deceive him; no wicked person will afflict him.

22His enemies will not defeat him, nor will the wicked overpower him.

23I will crush his enemies before him and strike those who hate him.

23I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him.

24My faithfulness and gracious love will be with him, and in my name his power will be exalted.

30But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations,

31if they profane my statutes; and do not keep my commands,

31if they do not obey my decrees and fail to keep my commands,

32then I will punish their disobedience with a rod and their iniquity with lashes.

32then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their disobedience with beating.

49Where is your gracious love of old, Lord, that in your faithfulness you promised to David?

49Lord, where is your unfailing love? You promised it to David with a faithful pledge.

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servant! I carry inside me all the insults of many people,

50Consider, Lord, how your servants are disgraced! I carry in my heart the insults of so many people.

51when your enemies reproached you, LORD, when they reproached the footsteps of your anointed.

51Your enemies have mocked me, O LORD; they mock your anointed king wherever he goes.

52Blessed is the LORD forever! Amen and amen!

52Praise the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
