| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I have found my servant David; I have anointed him with my sacred oil, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21with whom my power will be firmly established; for my arm will strengthen him. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22No enemy will deceive him; no wicked person will afflict him. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23I will crush his enemies before him and strike those who hate him. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24My faithfulness and gracious love will be with him, and in my name his power will be exalted. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25I will place his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26He will announce to me 'You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.' |

| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29I will establish his dynasty forever, and his throne as long as heaven endures. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30"But if his sons abandon my laws and do not follow my ordinances, |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31if they profane my statutes; and do not keep my commands, |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32then I will punish their disobedience with a rod and their iniquity with lashes. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But I will not cut off my gracious love from him, and I will not stop being faithful. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34I will not dishonor my covenant, because I will not change what I have spoken. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35I have sworn by my holiness once for all: I will not lie to David. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36His dynasty will last forever and his throne will be like the sun before me. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37It will be established forever like the moon, a faithful witness in the sky." Interlude |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38But you have spurned, rejected, and became angry with your anointed one. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39You have dishonored the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown on the ground. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40You have broken through all his walls; you have laid his fortresses in ruin. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41All who pass by on their way plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; you have caused all of his enemies to rejoice. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Moreover, you have turned back the edge of his sword and did not support him in battle. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44You have caused his splendor to cease and cast down his throne to the ground. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45You have caused the days of his youth to be cut short; you have covered him with shame. Interlude |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46How long, LORD, will you hide yourself? Forever? Will your anger continuously burn like fire? |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Remember how short my lifetime is! How powerless have you created all human beings! |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48What valiant man can live and not see death? Who can deliver himself from the power of Sheol. Interlude |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49Where is your gracious love of old, Lord, that in your faithfulness you promised to David? |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servant! I carry inside me all the insults of many people, |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51when your enemies reproached you, LORD, when they reproached the footsteps of your anointed. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Blessed is the LORD forever! Amen and amen! |
