15. Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne;mercy and faithfulness march before you.
16. Blessed the people who know the war cry,who walk in the radiance of your face, Lord.
17. In your name they sing joyfully all the day;they rejoice in your righteousness.
18. You are their majestic strength;by your favor our horn is exalted.
19. Truly the Lord is our shield,the Holy One of Israel, our king!
20. Then you spoke in vision;to your faithful ones you said:“I have set a leader over the warriors;I have raised up a chosen one from the people.
21. I have chosen David, my servant;with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22. My hand will be with him;my arm will make him strong.
23. No enemy shall outwit him,nor shall the wicked defeat him.
24. I will crush his foes before him,strike down those who hate him.
25. My faithfulness and mercy will be with him;through my name his horn will be exalted.
26. I will set his hand upon the sea,his right hand upon the rivers.
27. He shall cry to me, ‘You are my father,my God, the Rock of my salvation!’
28. I myself make him the firstborn,Most High over the kings of the earth.
29. Forever I will maintain my mercy for him;my covenant with him stands firm.
30. I will establish his dynasty forever,his throne as the days of the heavens.
