15. Happy are the people that know how to enter into joy; they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16. In thy name shall they rejoice each day; and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17. For thou art the glory of their strength, and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18. For the Lord is our shield, and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19. Then thou didst speak in vision to thy holy one and didst say, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of my people.
20. I have found David my slave; I anointed him with the oil of my holiness,
21. with whom my hand shall be established; mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22. The enemy shall not overcome him, nor the son of iniquity break him down.
23. But I will break down his foes before his face and smite those that hate him.
24. But my truth and my mercy shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25. In the same manner I will set his hand also in the sea and his right hand in the rivers.
26. He shall call me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my saving health.
27. Also I will make him my firstborn, high above the kings of the earth.
28. I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29. I will also make his seed to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of the heavens.
30. If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,
31. if they profane my statutes and do not keep my commandments,
32. then I will visit their rebellion with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.
33. Nevertheless I will not take my mercy from him, neither will I falsify my truth.
34. I will not profane my covenant, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
